Croatia (4/14)

Today is our last day in Coratia. We were here for two days and three nights but mostly spent the time in three places: the beach, the pool, and the old town. It was a nice break to not be running from museum to museum after being emotionally drained in Bosnia! Again on the Adriatic Sea, the "beach" was rocky and not the most comfortable but it actually was pretty fun swimming in the water and exploring. I also was very proud that I gathered enough courage to jump off this cliff and venture into a dark cave! After hanging out on the beach, we went to the old town for dinner. As my mom repeatedly said, it was the most beautiful old town we have ever seen. Unlike some others around the world, it was clean and preserved with happening restaurants, shops, and MANY ice cream shops (never get enough of those). An interesting fact about the Old Town is that when it was being built, everyone in this whole area had to bring their best stone and carry it on their back to collectively build the great walls.


For the political side of things, I don't know much because we didn't have a tour guide and we didn't go anywhere, but I did some research about their view about the break-up of Yugoslavia. Apparently, unlike the other countries we have visited that were once apart of the communist power, the majority of people are happy that they are no longer all together. This is because they like being independent and having a democracy. 


Overall, I really enjoyed my stay here and I wish I could stay here longer and soak up the sun!
