Whirlwind Tour

I recently just got back from fall break, which was a whirlwind tour through Hungary, Slovenia, and Croatia. It was so fast, I've drawn you a little picture of our route. My own pictures are not set up yet, so just observe the little maps for now.


This is part of Day 1. We travelled down Lake Balaton, took a ferry across the lake, and entered Slovenia.


Still in Day 1, we ended in Ljubljana, the capital that night at 2am, wandered looking for a hotel till 4am.
Day 2: wandered around city, went up to Bled. This is a beautiful small city with a little castle overlooking a gorgeous lake, and a little island with a church in the middle of the lake. Camped out around the lake. Day 3: explored castle, took gondolas out to island, drove to Treiste in Italy, ate Italian pizza

Day 4: explored Treiste, beautiful harbor town in Italy. Went to a castle on the coast, white castle with palm trees and elaborate gardens. Fell in love with Italy, then said goodbye.




Day 5: Entered Croatia. Decided to skip right to Reijke. Slept there.
Day 6: Looked at Reijke a little, then drove all the way to Split.
Day 7: Looked around Split for a few hours, then drove all the way to Dubrovnik. Arrived late at night, and explored the castle, ate some dinner, then drove through the night back to Split, and then up to a national park outside of Zagreb. Found camping at 4am.
Day 8: Woke up 4 hours later and hiked through national park. Saw beautiful waterfalls. Drove to Zagreb and went to sleep.
Day 9: Walked around Zagreb and relaxed a little, drove all the way back to Vác.

I drove more than I slept, but I saw 5 countries in 9 days, and who can say that? I fell in love with Italy, saw the gorgeous coast of Croatia, and now I'm back to teaching.
