Singapore, Slovenia and CroatiaBeing back in Singapore is absolutely fantastic!! Haven't been out all that much yet; still sorting my room and clothes out. MEGA MEGA packing session. But it's good to be back, life is SO MUCH more comfortable here =)) Anyways some photos from Slovenia and Croatia. A wonderful experience traveling with Amir, Kate and Alvis.
Alvis, Dan, Kate, Amir at a castle - good thing they're into stoopid photos too. Haha
We spent one whole day getting from Bristol to Slovenia. Arrived at Ljubljana and rented a car. They almost ran out of auto cars, which meant that we had to drive a manual left-hand drive! MAD. We did most of the touristy thing at Bled; visited the castle and some caves.
So Kate, Alvis and I spent the WHOLE day doing all the extreme sports. SHIOK!! We started the day with Canyoning. Had to put on a wet suit and all the protective gear as we made our way thru' the streams and trees! Had to do a bit of absailing, flying fox and jumping/sliding into giant potholes filled with water. Stuff like that lahh.
White water rafting was a little disappointing. Hmmm Kate wanted to do the "intermediate" level but I decided that going for the easy one would be better; especially since the both of them haven't done it before. I was wrong - it was like a cruise like that. No challenge!! PLUS we had to paddle for some lazy americans who were with us! We did, however, get to jump off a bridge into the river. That was insane mann.
Quad-biking was crazy. We got to ride thru' rough terrains, up (and down) hills and across little towns. Super exciting. (If you really wanna know why it makes my top ten, ask me)
Oh yes, some stoopid jumping photos by the meadows. Haha.
And one of Kate and Alvis
Looks like Streetfighter! Akuma v Dhalsim
Took a train to Croatia and spent a few days in Zagreb. Super relaxed. Whilst Kate went shopping, the boys sat by the cafes and sipped our beers and coffees.
Wendy commented that it was one of those University application photos taken for the welcome package.
From Zagreb, we headed to Dubrovnik. An extremely touristy place with lots of beaches.
Whilst having lunch at one of their restaurants. So beautiful!
A typical afternoon; having beer overlooking the majestic seas.
The view
On the last day, the four of us went kayaking to Lokrum Island. The guide told us that we could go cliff-jumping there!!!
Getting ready
At the top of the cliff
There we go!!
Alvis and I after the jump
Ended the night having a nice dinner and chilling at a Latino Club. The club itself was bad, but the bar area was really really nice. It played latino renditions of the regular top 40s. Interesting!! A few drinks later, we decided to take photos along the way home. HEH.
Good old army times
Don't really have all the photos yet, but yeah, here's some that were in my camera. =)) Just to wrap it off, here's another!
