The tar in the street starts to melt from the heat
And the sweats runnin’ down from my hair
I walked 20 miles and I’m dragging my feet
And I’ll walk 20 more I don’t care
And I’ll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
I’m like a ghost some people can’t see
Others drive by and stare
A shadow that drifts by the side of the road
It’s like I’m not even there
And I’ll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
Well I’ve never been part of the game
The life that I live is my own
All that I know is that I was born
To wander this world all alone, all alone
Some people are born with their lives all laid out
And all their success is assured
Some people work hard all their lives for nothin’
They take it and don’t say a word
They don’t say a word
Sometimes it’s like I don’t even exist
Even God has lost track of my soul
Why else would he leave me out here like this
To wander this world all alone
And I’ll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
–Jonny Lang, “Wander This World”
After our island hopping adventure in Hvar, we went back in to the city for a last Split dining experience before heading to Dubrovnik in the morning. We of course started the evening with a good wander through the city to work up an appetite, continuing to discover new secrets at every twist and turn…
We decided to have a proper day of rest and relaxation, so what better what better way than to do some island hopping on the Dalmatian coast to Hvar. There were many ferry and catamaran options available throughout the day, so we opted for an 1100 departure, giving us some time for breakfast on the…
In the morning, we grabbed breakfast around 1100 on the waterfront promenade and formulated a day-plan for learning about Diocletian and Split history. We finally felt relaxed because the weather was 70 degrees and sunny, and we had 3 nights for once in a city. Staying in one place for a while was something I…
After our flat-tire experience in the middle of nowhere Slovenian-Croatian border, we were very glad to be arriving in Split on the day we intended to. While we experienced the descent in to Split through the windy mountain highway by night, it felt a lot like some of the posh Southern California canyon areas I…
We got an early start out of Ljubljana so that we had time to visit Plitvice Lakes on the way to Split, with most of our day spent driving in Croatia. We even decided to skip breakfast and even coffee to get a jump on the day and make driving in Croatia as seamless as…
After already experiencing one night in Ljubljana, we already had a lay of the land and knew we wanted to visit the castle and take in Ljubljana history. So we built our day around that plan, noting in advance that there was a “free walking tour” on offer at 1500 (it was one of the…
