The past two weeks have been smooth backpacking. It has been simple and relatively cheap train tickets heading south from Germany and into the hot Italian sun. Right now I am in route to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Currently in Split, Croatia, I am getting my first glimpses of the forward progressing people in a war torn region. I came into the Balkans to see how they cope with the recent massive amount of young veterans who are in need of prosthetic care to maintain a young active lifestyle. I have already seen the “warning landmines areas” signs. In Florence I met up with four British guys, and we had similar itineraries heading from Italy into Croatia. I’m actually camping with them and saving a ton of money by splitting a tent with one of them. Split is a cool ex roman city with beaches and cheap fresh seafood. I’m fairly certain that from here on out it will be nothing but 4 dollar meals and even cheaper drinks! Finally!
It is nice camping on a beach right outside of the main city center. By spending no money on accommodation, it’s allowing me to enjoy the city a little more. Although, I have to balance the pros by sleeping on a hard floor in only a light sleeping bag. Life is good, and I hope it is for all of you too.
Adios!
