Croatia- September 2011 PART 1

The very first time we made video of our trip, but it is in Latvian, so here is small description what you can see in videos and what we did these two weeks.

September 17
Early in the morning we fulfill the duty of every citizen- voted 11th Saeima elections (Latvia's government) and jumped in car to get on road.

It was long way through Lithuania, Poland. In Poland, as usually, not without incidents. This time the dog ran on the road, and when was halfway down, he ran back. We couldn't stop the car so fast. When we stopped, Edgars removed him from the road so that others don't go beyond, looked at car and we went on. After some time in gas station we noticed that one of the license plate was lost. To make it less striking Edgars moved the license plate from back to front.

So all the way to Croatia we had to think- how to cross the border with just one license plate.

September 18
On the way we searched for some caches (www.geocaching.com)
We found some caches on the way:

• a cache on ex border crossing point on border of Slovakia and Hungary

• a cache in Hungary 

•  a cache near church and vineyards in Slovenia. (We tried some grapes, mmmm, so sweet and delicious!) 

On the Croatia's border guards didn't want to let us enter Croatia, said us to go back to Latvia. Edgars tried to conjure them, that we don't want to end up our trip in the second day, Zaiga made very sad face, so we finally get in.In the evening we took a walk in Zagreb old town and slept one more night in car.

September 19
In the morning Edgars made operative car repair- tightened the clutch cable.
We visited Plitvice lakes. Really amazing place- the water is so blue as in pictures!

It was raining and we get very wet. So we didn't want to spent one more night in car, and we found a room in Seline for 20 euro. (In the beginning everyone asked 30 euro, but in one place we haggled to 20 euro.)
