Croatia


We left Budapest May 1, and flew to Split, Croatia but had a long lay over in Munich where I actually did a phone interview for an opportunity to volunteer with FFA for the Howard G Buffet Foundation in Burkina Faso June 20-July 9 this summer to work on agricultural development projects.  We arrived in Split late the 1st and we just crashed in our cozy little 'villa' in the middle of the old city in Split.
The next morning we let ourselves sleep in and then spent the day wondering around the old city in Diocletian's Palace and actually walked inside the oldest Cathedral in the world that was originally Diocletian's (Roman Emperor) resting place and Jupiter's temple http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diocletian's_Palace.  We really took the day easy, I wandered down to the beach, and we had a great dinner of sea food in the old city.

The next day we got up early and rented a car and drove North to Plitvice Lakes and hiked.  It needs little explanation, just look at the pictures.  One of the most beautiful places I have ever been in my life.
