Bit of an update ( vacation, EF and other stuff...)
14 years ago
I thought I keep you guys posted on what's been going on in my life recently.
We start back on friday the 29th of July were
tamael and I started packing for a 2 week trip to Croatia.
After a 14 hour trip - aprox. 1300km/800miles - we arived at
drfur place in Zagreb were we would spend 2 days.
After Zagreb, we drove to Plitvice National Park (http://www.np-plitvicka-jezera.hr/en/index.php). At that time
tigergoof had joined us. If you like nature and waterfalls, I'd recogment this place highly. Though do wear decent walking/hiking shoes ;)
tamael and I spend the following 4 days at an autocamp nearby were we did nothing except relax and be the lazy kitties that we are :P
The next day, drfur met up with us at the Karlovac city Museum were we learned a few things about the history of Croatia. After that, we set of to the city of Biograd were we met up with tigergoof again and spend another night at an autocamp.
The next day, we had to hurry because we were seposedly to go rafting. After a perriles drive over gravel roads at around 80 km/h, in a car that weighed closely to 1.8 ton, we managed to arrive at the rafting center 20 minutes to late. Thankfully, the people in charge were so kind to wait for us. 6 hours and severe sunburned leggs later, we were back in the car again and driving like mad to the port of Split to try and catch the ferry to our next destination. Sadly, once we arrived at the port, we noticed that the ferry that should have taken us to Vis already left.
A bit frustrated that we had missed our ferry and not being able to find a cheap place to spend the night, tigergoof managed to find us a room at an eldery guy's place. How he managed that we still don't know.
The next morning came and we headed back to the port but this time, we purposefully arrived an hour to early. Once loaded onto the ferry and sitting in the restaurant below deks we finaly could relax a bit.
Once we arrived at the Ilse of Vis and had installed ourselfs into our appartment, we did what kitties are best at... relaxing and being lazy :P We went to the beach each day and we took a guided tour of the Isle. During the tour we found out that it was a former millitary base during the 2nd world war and during the time that Croatia was still part of Yugoslavia. We spended a total of 5 days on the Isle of Vis.
After that we went to tigergoof his parents in Metkovic and to their private beach and to the old City of Dubrovnik.
The final day of our vacation in Croatia, we headed back to drfur again were we had a short rest before us three headed back to the Netherlands again. The journy back was interresting to say the least but also the last time that we ever going to do that.
Back in the Netherlands we had 2 days before EF began.
EF itself was like every other EF. Good and great fun. Although this year, I kept myself a bit to the side as I wanted to take it a bit calmer. Non the lest, I had an awesome time with my friends there.
Fast forward 1 week. I had the good news that a company wanted to hire me as things with my then current employer Philips weren't going that great. After an innicial conversation with them they invited me back for a second conversation. During that second conversation they told me that they were interrested in me and if I could begin working for them the following week. As much as I loved to I couldn't as I needed one week to wrap things up at Philips so as from last monday I'm currently employed by Vredestein Tire Factory. This also resulted in me moving to a place that was somewhat nearby and let it be so that my boyfriend lives near Vredestein.
To sum the last few one and a half months up I'd say it was a fucking great time with lots and lots of good things happening to me.
