a nothing sort of day

today was spent in dubrovnik killing time before our overnight bus to ljubljana in slovenia. checked out of my hostel at 10am and was not permitted to leave my backpack - thankfully some of the boys from the other boat had a sick apartment close by.

watched dodgeball with neil while waiting for the girls. meg arrived a sweating mess - steph had fainted on the bus. so we jumped on another bus to go find her armed with water, soft drink and food. eventually she was ready to go into town, so we went back to the boys apartment. 

spent a couple of hours figuring out accommodation and transport around eastern europe before heading to the beach. except we never made it, as we discovered that steph had fallen on her slr camera when she fainted and had broken the lens despite it being inside its bag. so the next few hours were spent at the bus ticket office and then traipsing through scorching heat to find a police station.

first police station on our map informed us they could not help as they were traffic police. the second yelled that its not their problem if something gets broken, it's not their job, and told us to leave the building!! we were absolutely shocked given how much of a touristy place dubrovnik is!

so that ended any plans for the day, instead we bought ingredients to make pasta for everyone for dinner. had a bit of fun cooking and hanging with the boys, and then it was off to the terminal. a 10 hour bus ride and a 2.5 hour train ride will get us to ljubljana. see you on the other side!
