We´re killing some time at in internet cafe in Split before heading to Kortula.
Croatia has been surprisingly beautiful and textured so far. Textured, that´s a loaded word isn't it? The people are the friendliest here. Even a postal worker made small talk with me. Of all the places we've visited so far, this is the most recently war torn. Driving across the country from one tourist destination to the next we encountered the Croatian country side where there are abandoned cement bunkers every half mile or so. The houses that people do live in are not much better. The hill sides were all dominated by the same simple brick design. The landscape is dry and rocky for the most part. A few times I thought I was in Bakersfield or Hemet. I could have been.
The music playing on the bus was a combination of Croatian folk music, motown hits and soft rock from the late 80s and early 90s. Most notably we heard James Brown's ˝sex machine˝ . What a crazy place.
