Jump to Dalmatia was quite interesting yesterday despite bad weather. With Kastelic we drove on the old road through blokovski ugly Karlovac, further to Slunj, Plitvice Lakes, military Gospić and some bridge where Serbs in the war first shot some Croatian soldiers, then to Gračac, Knin, Sinj and Split. Through Lika it was very cold at night with fog, along the road all hosta, no houses anywhere for 20 km or more, we made real vukojebina! In winter in Lika we can expect several meters to even ten meters big snow drifts by the road, due to bora that rules there. We also drove past Gospić there, Croatian sequel with POP TV, Kar bo, pa bo - odoh ja!. At half past one at night we finally arrived in illuminated and quite big Split. Before Split is Solin town, which plays similar role to our Medvode, where is industrial zone and big shopping center. In Split tourists were still wandering the streets, from foreigners (mainly young Englishmen) I didn't notice anyone who could walk straight, all high, drunk, staggering around, some lying on grass and laughing, on streets sidewalks all wet pissed and stinking. Such tourists for me are not tourists at all. They are just people who lost their ethical compass and sold soul, without healthy plans or guidelines of real vacation. As Dejan tells me, there were huge numbers of tourists this year there, business was running 100 per hour and more. Now at the end I had feeling that in pubs with heavy hangover they barely serve you anything anymore, already bored of mass tourists and work. Locals say they don't remember such hot summer and survived it only with early morning chores, after 7h to late afternoon they stayed only in houses, AC working full blast. Namely even houses traditionally made of stone in heavy heat lost purpose of coolness, since stone over time got quite heated and no longer cooled. Now all sunburned barely came to themselves with rainy coolings. Outside big cities and strict coast, the world there is still quite cheap, so here and there Germans tackle some big private newbuilds of vacation houses. On the way back we joined straight onto the highway, since it was raining in regions like from a bucket (lightning, dark as in a horn).
