Crazy Croatia

After waking up not in my bed I realized I was late to meet the guys for the boat! Oh no! I woke up at 10:30 the time I was supposed to meet them. The girls were in the kitchen when I woke and they helped me gather my things and I was out the door. I thanked them for allowing me to stay. They offered to try to help me find my way home still in the morning, they will make good mothers some day. As soon as I walked out and could see my surroundings I knew how to get home. I actually was not too far from where I should have been. As I walk into the hostel the guys are waiting and it was quite the story to tell considering I was late and in my dress from the night before. I run up to the room and talk to Marina, who is just on her way to leave. Thankfully she packed up all of my stuff because I was supposed to be switching rooms at 10. Opsies. She had wrote me a note thinking she would not have seen me again since she had a flight to switzerland today. However, the only ferry that was leaving was at 1:45 and her flight was at 4. Close squeeze. We said our good byes and I rushed to get ready for the boat. Hoping the Chileans would still be there by the time I got there. I was quite surprised when I saw Sebastian, that means I didn’t mess up too bad. We could still all go out for a boat ride, they were late as well which made me feel a little better about the situation. We were waiting for Gui the Brazilian who was supposed to come as well and we decided to get some groceries for the day. After we got back there was no sign of Gui so we decided to go anyways. Round two of the boat. As we were pulling out of the harbor Niall, was our “experienced sailor” it was a little rough for him at first which became a giggle for the rest of day, especially for James. Sebastian ended up having to take over and suring the switch-er-roo we got called back to the dock. We were thinking they were going to take the boat back. Thankfully, they just thought we hadn’t paid. With Sebastian in charge we successfully made it out with out hitting any other boats, always a plus. The boat once again was an amazing choice. We went a lot father around the islands than we had the previous day and I even steered for a while. I was much worse than Niall and I did a doughnut, real slow once since the boat didn’t have much power. I was constantly trying to over correct at first. They wouldn’t let me give up though and I eventually got the hang of it. I mean it could only go left or right which should be really easy, but I felt like I had to constantly remind my self it was the opposite, but when we came close to the harbor I let Sebastian take over, I don’t do well under pressure at least not on the boat. We found a sand beach, which had sand in the water but not to lay on. We had anchored the boat far from the beach so we had quite the swim to reach land, it was quite tiring. We then moved along and had some sandwiches at another spot, I was quite full from them. The next joke of the day became the word cucumber. Sebastian had quite the accent when he used that word that just sent James into laughter for the next two minutes. It was great. We really had a good group. We stopped back later at the sand island and had found the brazilians drinking away. The bar they were at was really a chill place, with little forts in the trees. It was great. There was a little kitten that kept going after the chips that we were eating. I have never seen soo many wild cats as I have seen in Croatia, its crazy. It was then time to head back to return the boat. Flo gave the driving a chance and was amazing at it. She is just a great person all around. I kept think how the two of the Chileans would make such a great couple, but I’m not sure it will ever happen. I hope so back in Chili. When I got back to the hostel I checked my phone. Low and behold Marina emailed me, she’s coming back tonight! She got to split around 3 and her flight left at 4 its at least a half an hour drive to the airport, so she said screw it and decided to come back to the island. I didn’t know what was going to be her plan now, and I was supposed to be leaving in the morning, either with the Chileans to Dubrovnik or headed to Munich, both of the choices meant an early departure the next day. I had been contemplating staying in Hvar though if Marina decided to stay. My plans depended on her. Shortly later I got an email saying Lauren and Megan booked me a room in Munich so looks like I should be headed there. All of this was giving my head a swirl and I didn’t want to make a decision until I talked with Marina. So I hung around at the hostel talking with James and Niall. I became really fond of them, really great people and I feel like they now know my whole life story. We had a tree, hammock rotation going on. I first sat in the tree but then my bum went numb and so we swapped turns. After we got booted at 11 I was trying to figure out where I could leave Marina a note to find me. Just as I was talking to the staff Marina shows up Back in business. We figure out if there is any place for her to stay, the hostel workers truly are miracle workers and find her a place to stay on a pull out couch in my room. Thankfully everyone was okay with this happening and things worked out great. We then continued on to the Brazilians hostel following the tradition. Everyone was there once again. As we get ready to leave I completely miss the stairs and go off the edge into some crates cutting the back of my leg. Croatia really has done some damage to my body, of course I just tried to play it off like it didn’t happen. Opsies. After the hostel we went down to the square once again. We stopped to get ice cream on the way which was a real treat. We then just chilled outside at some tables. I messaged Niall and found out he had been robbed, well pick pocketed and his money was gone. James and him joined up with us shortly later. They bought me pizza ( thanks ) it was great! Then we decided to head home. Marina went out with Brazilians and went dancing, I was not in the mood for such things as I had my mind else where. We got back the hostel and Niall and I hung out some more before we decided it was time for bed. I was the only one in the dorm room and it was already 4 am, looks like most people were having a late night. Its crazy how late everything is open in Europe.
