Croatia!

It was beyond beautiful flying over, all the green! And omg... It was gorgeous because the water was so crystal blue. I couldn't believe it. There are houses built in the side of the mountains and all along the water. All of them had red roofs so it was adorable. In love.

Got to Croatia yesterday!

We flew via Ryan Air to Rijeka.. Smallest airport in the world. Legit. "Customs"consisted of four women, and all they did was smile at me & stamp my passport. No questions. Nothin! Then the baggage claim... The one and only haha!

Bags were falling all over the place. It was hilarious 

So we boarded the bus to the mainland Rijeka because the airport was on an island... Tasha tried to ask the bus driver which one it was.. Except he spoke NO English. So he started rapidly speaking Croatian to her and she was like bah. Uh. Uh...... And I'm giggling hardcore & finally speak up and say Rijeka.. Tasha didn't know how to say it since they roll their Rs and Js are pronounced like a y (like Jelena) .. So RE GEK UH was nothing he could comprehend.. 

After we got off the bus we found Jelena :] I was convinced she wouldn't be there.. I grabbed a slice of pizza.. They don't have pepperoni but it was comparable... It's like salami I guess.. Paid for the potty - annoying European trait 

& then boarded an amazingly long bus ride to Biograd. 6 hours.. With a few stops to stretch our legs..

Bella picked us up from the final bus stop, we bought bread from a bakery and then walked to the beach house. IT SO CUTE. I love it here... & we all walked to the beach after.. They have a pool- filled with ocean water, on the beach. But it stays warmer. But it has algae growing on the side!! Weird. I jumped in :) we all swam. I doggie paddled. After that this group of men in speedos dove in and started competitively swimming, so we hopped out and walked home. Jelena and I walked to the supermarket to grab groceries .. We made spaghetti for dinner.. Not with beef, with like.. A mixture of pork, chicken, & lamb or goat... It looked like ground beef tho. I'm going to sneak beef into a meal so Jelena finally tries it. We had wine with seltzer and played cards at night - all while jamming to high powered techno music Haha

Now we are at a cafe, we stopped at a bakery to buy Burek and chocolate filled croissants.. I got a smoothie (see below) it's yummy. 15.00 kuna! Which is like 2.75 usd.. A bit small in my opinion but whatev.. We're going to the beach now.. Laying out. Finally getting tan!! Thank the heavens!
