our START at SUNDANCE FESTIVALS in CROATIA! super great to have a weekend without work letting me type my croatian words here! giant spotlight is above our head in chilly croatian summer! we didn't do much research seemed we are too confident to kick out all problems there. . . we slept in london airport at midnight and took the plane heading to CROATIA in the early morning. (we better bring along our pillows next time to sleep in the airport hahaaa as staying in the cafe to sleep isnt good to our health-_-) wooooof! people in croatia dont speak english n we had had body language for a week there hahahaaa! took 3 coaches for almost a day to reach our destination - PLITVICE. the far far away countryside with awesome crystal-like lakes and nice organic stuff! The driver instructed us with his grey white moustache dancing like the white swan pointing our google maps 'yea..yea.yeaaa... hereherehere.' but it's the highway! we were dumped there. It's noon. In our four-eye-sight, there were no people, no water, but the dry plants along the highway and the tangerine sand on the ground..as well as the giant sun radiating above us. the heads of my travel-mate, gin, and me were blank and lost. what else can we do??? we discovered a blue steel board printed something on..like white houses, and we followed its instruction to find our way. waaaaa! we saw PEOPLE! haahaaa thrilled. it's the croatian family with 2 little boys and their father. we peeped into the wooden house, the elder son was using facebook (it's somehow civilized wuuu~) we showed the map to ask for the way we should go...he was so nice and drove us with his car thereeeee! arghhh how lucky we were!!!!! The hostel big man welcomed us with his eastern green eyes,grey tank top and the warmest smile of the day, and his croatian stylish english, arghhh needed a whole day to reach our first step in croatia... we could foresee our continual tough journey afterwards hahaa in the eastern mysterious europe. It's the first night we enjoyed our good sleep in eastern europe. the warm shower with the clear lake like water and our plitvice dinner (fruit yogurt bread yeah haaha!) and it's the first time to watch the night tv programmes of croatia.. most of them are movie promotions, continuously looped with the weird language(maybe dutch or croatian or spanish or wtever). the appearance of the old style 90s jet black tv was hanged on the above of the red wall, we lying on bed kept staring at the tv, laughing at the old school background music of the programme and guessed what the croatians tried to promote about...we were chewing the croatian brand cookies and kept giggling... maybe we were too tired and din jor. Nights at plitvice is around 16 degree it's windy and dark outside, reminded us of the summer weather in london. maybe it's raining in london. we hummed songs and guessed what it would be like afterwards in the random trips... good night croatia!
