Day in the Life # 2: Germany and Croatia

Hi everyone !!
Sorry that it has been way too long, I have been so busy with the Chemistry trial and a million other things that I never found time. But now I have made time and the time is right now :)
Here are some more photos from my holiday which seems now to have occurred in my distant past.
Also, exciting news. The little video diary I kept whilst on holiday is (slowly) being uploaded onto youtube. The link for the first instalment is here: http://youtu.be/1X8K5JclNzI. I hope you all enjoy it and it provides some sort of entertainment because it was extremely fun to film and I'd love to do it again if I ever have an opportunity so let me know what you guys think.


The following two photos are from Germany, I have to say that Munich was definitely my favourite part of the entire trip. I can't pin point it exactly but I'd have to say it has something to do with the atmosphere and fact that it is a very beautiful city.
Neuschwanstein Castle. Crazy King Ludwig had indoor caves installed because well . . why not?
Bike riding through Munich, definitely one of my highlights
Next stop Croatia !! Our plane from Munich to Zadar was the smallest I have ever seen and to be perfectly honest I was scared for my life. After we had landed and my heart had returned to its normal speed I was able to enjoy the lovely warm weather and presence of my relatives (who by the way have the best recipe for Nutella croissants!).

Paint Ball with my gorgeous cousins and uncle. The bruises lasted for weeks but it was worth it.

Oliver and I in front of the 'Donut' in Zadar, we could totally pass as statues right?
 From Zadar we caught a boat to Dugi Otok, the island where my Mum was born. On Dugi Otok we stayed in the village of Luka (permanent population: 70), definitely not what I was used to. Every day we would wake up, swim, talk to thousands of crazy relatives and then go to sleep. The one thing I learnt while over there was that I was related to everyone I met (and I mean EVERYONE).
Oh Sali, you are trully beautiful (and abundant with cats)

Practicing some yoga :) How amazing and blue is the water ?!!!!

Another shot of the amazing water in Luka, someone take me back please!
That's all for this post, I hope you all liked it. I only have one or more instalments to write before I reach the end of my trip. I'm really enjoying looking over it all, it brings back such nice memories as I set here in the FREEZING COLD labouring over the millions of school assessments I have to work on. 
In all seriousness I complain way too much, life is wonderful and I'm loving every second of it :)
Until next time,
