Hello all! I am currently in Dubrovnik, which looked very pretty from the bus on the drive in. Have been doing a lot of that lately, as the last couple of days have been bus travel heavy!
Mykonos was lovely. Nothing but sun and surf and me driving on the wrong side of the road! H
Hiring a car was so much fun, and i had such a blast driving on the righthand side. awesome!
the next couple of days were feats of death defying. we went into Albania, which has the windiest, crappiest roads i've ever experienced. I don't know how our bus driver managed, but h e got us to our hotel safe and sound, but not without experiencing a couple of ear splitting crunches, breaking the front door, scratching the front, blocking trucks on the barely one lane road, blocking french holiday makers, etc etc. it was an experience! we got lost a couple of times, but the very friendly albanians pointed us in the right direction. we also got a very late dinner - they prepared an awesome meal at 11.30pm at night! it was beautiful greek salad, outstanding steak (you have no idea how much i've been craving steak!) and free soft drink! yay, no water!!!!!
we then drove some more today, passing from Albania to Montenegro to Croatia and arriving in Dubrovnik at 7pm. We will be staying here tonight and tomorrow, and then on to Zadar the next day. Tomorrow will be touring the old city and a beautiful cruise where we can take our bathers... tell you what, i am enjoying all this swimming!
oh, and as in the title, i am sick as a dog. illness has spread thru the bus like wildfire. awesome. i am getting better, but it's a slow process. damn stupid cold, go away you bugger!!!! still, fun times are being had and that's the main thing!

Hi Cassie
Good to hear that you are getting good use of your 'cossie' in the beautiful blue sea - would have loved to see you keeping to the right with your driving prowess.
Hoping you are now getting closer to the places that provide meat - what a joy of having steak but are you not getting closer to the land of the sausage!!!! Also hope you get rid of that 'cold' but there does remain the threat from those people in between being old and young - is that your lot?????.
Love Mum and Dad
Hey Cass
Glad to hear you are having fun. There is a good club in Dubrovnik coming into to the old town. It's a Spanish looking club (I think there is a picture of someone doing the tango out the front). I can't remember what it was called, but they have really good cocktails!!!
Zadar is cool - I had really good coffee there. My description of the place will be crap so I won't even try!
