Croatia day 1 cont

Me in front of the tower of Diocletians Palace. Inside the palace walls are now homes and even the hostel we stayed in.
Split is a beautiful fishing town turned into a bust seaport. But some of the fishers still fish.
This ship was heading out to Italy. Can you imagine how fun that would be?

Croatia day 2

Here I am setting off on a ferry for the Island of Brach to the famous beach called Zlatni Rat.
Enjoying some sunshine
Enjoying the beautiful coast
Here is one side of the beach
And the other. The beach comes out to a point its quite amazing. Just watch out for nude bathers.

Croatia day 3


There are many Roman ruins in Split. Top left is are the remains of the great Roman Emperor Diocletians Palace where he retired and lived out his days. Top right is a Roman aquaduct. Below left are remanis of a Roman colosseum where gladiators fought and were Christian missionaries were killed by wild animals. Lower right is me resting after a long trip.

Ljubljana

I was glad that I could take train for the day up through the steep mountains to Ljubljana in Slovenia. I only spent a day but it was worth it. They say that Ljubljana is a miny Prague and has the feeling of Paris without the attitude. I feel in love with the rivers, coblestone streets and beautiful trees.


Here is shot of the river that cuts through the town.

Everyone seems to ride a bike or walk for transportation. I almost got run over multiple times.

One month in Hungary


Time is flying by and already it has been a month since I left SLC. I cant believe that I only have two more months in Hungary and another to travel around Europe. I must say that I have been loving it here, the people, school and the food. I love waking up each morning and getting a fresh cherry or apple pastry at the local bakery. School is still easy, the weather is nice and warm and the travels so far have been great.

Hungarian Folk Dancing

We had a international night with students from all over the world. I was surprised that so many people had chosen Hungary as their place of study. We learned a traditional Hungarian dance. It was a lot of fun! Here are some pictures.

Here I am amongst other international students wondering what are we doing in Hungary

Actually this stuff isnt to bad, I might try a little

Good job Paul

This is Aniko and her daughter. She is in charge of the international students
