And then we took an overnight ferry across the sea, in a roomy cabin for two with a toilet and shower all to ourselves - FOR 20 EURO EACH! Amazing deal. We saw Split, with Diocletian’s Palace full of crazy, Escher-like staircases; stayed on Brac, an island off the coast; hiked into the middle of a national park that would have cost us $50 to get into; saw Plitvice Jazera, the national park with amazing waterfalls and ridiculously blue water; then spent a night couchsurfing in Zagreb before our overnight train through Serbia to Sofia. We were surprised to see shanty-towns right outside of Beograd (Belgrade) in Serbia just like the ones we saw in Morocco. And then a statue that looks sort of like Lenin welcomed us to Bulgaria, with all of its Cyrillic writing and non-Latin spoken language.

To escape the collapse of the American economy and the freezing Midwestern winters, Emma and Andrew are travelling through France/more easterly countries in Europe from February til October.
