Rijeka, Croatia

Today was a lot of walking. We woke up pretty early and climbed Trsat. The views were so incredible. After climbing the 700 stairs, we found a bar at the castle and sat down to have my first "legal" drink - even though you can drink at 16 here. When I get back to the states, I'll have my actual first legal drink (with Michael of course).

Anyways, after we grabbed a drink, we walked back down the 700 stairs and back to city center where we decided we were hungry. So, Nick chose McDonalds. We had McDonalds... in Croatia. Oh well. It was cool to see their menu and how different it was. After that, we started to walk back towards the apartment. We couldn't actually go back, so we sat in the mall for quite awhile. After our phones were charged, we took another walk - this time away from city center. We passed graphitti that said "F**k the police" and "Stop USA" and finally arrived at the gorgeous soccer stadium. The we walked back... lots of walking.

On our way back, we stopped at the mall (a different mall) and got food. Our choices were "hot cat" or "American hot dog". You can take a guess of what I got. Then, we went back to the apartment and grabbed our bags and headed to the bus station. Time to sleep on a bus headed for Munich.
