  • Drive to Plitvice

    On the drive to Plitvice we had to go through this 5.6 km tunnel.

    image

    Then things got crazy.

    image

    Matt asked for a snack, then the bag spontaneously exploded and bits of bake rolls floated everywhere. Gravity was suspended.

    image

    The snacks got into vital system controls.

    image

    Then we emerged into winter.

  • Split Cathedral

    The Cathedral in Split doesn’t look much like a cathedral because it used to be a Roman mausoleum.

    image

    It has new decorations added on top.

    image

    But not much room for people to sit or anything.

    image

    The adjacent bell tower has sketchy stairs to the top.

    image

    But a really good view once you get there.

    image

    Most of the city is this way toward the mountains.

    image

    There is lots this way toward those other mountains too.

    image

    There is less city looking toward the port, this isn’t Venice and they like their city not sinking into the sea.

  • Twelfth Day of Christmas Dinner

    On the Twelfth day of Christmas Dinner my true love took me out to a restaurant.

    image

    Because the Christmas turkey was absolutely all gone.

    image

    We went to a museum that was almost all clothing.

    image

    With a couple of reconstructions of hundred year old bedrooms.

    image

    And lace which Matt thinks looks like an intestine. (Come on you can totally see it. The Lumen is down and its a cross section. Not perfect but the first thing I really did see.)

  • Eleventh Day of Christmas Dinner

    On the eleventh day of Christmas Dinner my true love reheated for me

    The last of the turkey soup.

    image

    And then a frozen pizza because there wasn’t enough soup left. It tasted better than the box, but we forgot to take a picture of the pizza.

    image

    We got lost in the palace searching for some dead frogs.

    image

    Not this way either.

    image

    I know it was around here somewhere.

    image

    And found a Christmas olive tree.

    image

    Then we found the frogs but they were closed.

    image

    There was at least a nice sunset to brighten the mood.
