Day 3

day 3, no sunshine, no surprises, i miss sunshine...

it's a nice enough day to go on a hike around dalham like i planned yesterday.  i just wish i would have packed some wellies or galoshes instead of 2 pair of flips.

i'm wet but at least it stopped raining, thank goodness i have this fanny pack.

today is slow...

i somehow managed to step in a huge pile of cow manure after ike warned me at least 20 times singing, "don't step in the cow poop!"

i had my first bout with stinging nettle.  i hate you!

i'm wet again, this time it's still raining but i've found shelter underneath some trees.

my first hike around dahlam was awesome! this place is so incredible.  so lush and so green green but so grey! it's so gloomy! i feel like i have to shoot everything in black and white to compensate for the poor lighting.  the only place i've had to do that was serbia but that was because of the former communistic theme and drab feeling...

so i've figured out my path back to croatia.  i'm taking the bus to paris, spending at least a day or so there, then i train through to rome and venice, ferry over to croatia where i stay for around 9 days then back track! i'm SO stoked! i can't wait!
