oh sorry...here we go...much better...

incidently, on the second picture ( birds eye view ) you can see the core of the old city is square shaped, it's the remnants of the palace built by the roman emperor Diocletian, it's well preserved, the cathedral is actualy his mausoleum....the oldest cathedral in europe...over 1700 years old...

oh, that's tina vukov, has an incredible voice, but is like 12 or something...she's actually from the town i'm in right now...

me and me sis went shopping in this wee town this past saturday, i had my uber wicked mobile so i thought i'd take and post some pictures of this ( at times ) beautiful city - Zadar ( in italian - Zarra ). i was born here, but merely because there were no hospitals on my island.

this is the south entrance to the city ( it's a very old city as you can see, sorrounded by *insert word for big walls that protect cities from invaders*

the streets are very narrow ( it's how we do it in the Mediterranian ), yet even in such small spaces people find space to put some tables for drinking coffe and such ( again, this is how we do it in the Mediterranian, we like to sit arround and do nothing )

hey adidasss... im probably coming to italy next year, may aswel see croatia while im there, where's the best place to visit? it'll only be for a day, but still.. may as wel get the best of it.

for a day? well jeez...not much you can see in a day. hmm...i'll tell you what, i'll make a collage of the croatian coast, with a map and pictures so you can see where everything is.

ah cheers, youre a star. mm we would stay for longer, but we're cheap & will probably save accomodation costs this way..

ok, a better idea, i got a few maps and an exellent web site from the Croatian Tourist Board: www.croatia.hr ....just type the places i mention in the search engine and it gives you all the pictures, accomodation, restaurants and other tourist neccesities....even short films.

http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/1...general2gb.png

first map: the peninsula of Istra; definitely the most rewarding place to visit as far as one day trips are concerned. Must see places: Poreč ( if you can't see the last letter, it's Porech, you can try Porec maybe ), Rovinj, Pula, Motovun, Opatija ( this town is very nice, Austro Hungarian architecture, been a tourist desitnation for over 2 centuries, lots of old hotels, parks, villas, a very nice place to have a cup of coffe on a sunny sunday afternoon, about 20 miles from where i am right now )....all very clean, tourist orianted towns. Istra is the leading region in Croatia as far as tourism is concerned. Very reminiscent of the middle of Italy, hills, small villages on top of them, similar architecture.
Also, check out the islands: Cres, Krk, Rab, Lošinj ( Loshinj or Losinj for the search engine...or just copy paste what i wrote)
http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/3048/mapistra8sy.png

This is a map of the north of Dalmatia. Must see places: Zadar, Šibenik ( Shibenik ), national park - Kornati, national park - Krka
http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/4...janorth8om.png

and finally, the most beautiful part of Croatia, South Dalmatia.
Must see places: Split, Trogir, Bol ( on the island of Brač ), Hvar and Starigrad ( on the island of Hvar ), Vis and Komiža ( on the island of Vis, although you won't have the time to visit seeing as how the ferry ride to this island is a couple of hours long, still ,check it out on the web site, they're amazing villages ), Vela Luka, Blato and Korčula (on the island of Korčula)...and of course the much publicised Dubrovnik, Cavtat and Ston in the far south.

It is beautiful! Here's a couple of PI. First one's Saint James City, where I'm at. Second is Bokeelia, the other end of the island.

InMusic Music Festival - Zagreb, 4.7.2006
 

Franz Ferdinand - the most fun i ever had on a gig...danced my heart out...was soaking wet with sweat...we were really close to the stage...they played all my favourite songs...only slight gripe i had was that the sound was a bit too loud so the vocals weren't very clear....plus, i'm deaf...seriously i can't hear very well today...

Morrissey plays tommorow, but after Franz, it would be like going to a bingo party in an retirement home...so just aswell that i'm not going...alhough The Archie Bronson Outfit is the supporting act...i like them ( and have tried telling you lot about them but you don't care...:()

Is your entire family sponsored by adidas?

Also, it's not a real scooter unless it's a Lambretta or Vespa. :)

*is so stoked for Adidasss*

I was thinking that same thing, cept not about the scooter.

The Ex are a dutch punk band... I made a thread on them at some point but I don't think it got much attention.

I would give a testicle to see them live.

no, my sister and i simply know what cool is....and adidas....is cool motherfucker....

also...it IS a vespa...:D

http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/1681/vespa9hg.png
the only way to fly baby...;)
sorry, i knew it was d-something.....anyways, all i got to say is...i went deaf after their performance....the drummer is super nice though...looks like a nun....

It's nice.
I usually only have an eye for the originals, but this has a real retro look about it. I'm jealous. :(

mate, we also hate those regular type scooters...we already have one retro lookin vespa...like i said...the only way to fly......( it's a bitch getting the parts though )....

i love it...it just came today and we can't get enough of it...it's all shiny and purdy and new....:love: :) we've spent the entire day driving arround showing off...heheh...god we're so shallow....:)

i didn't know english people liked vespas....or scooters in general....can't really imagine you folks driving them...it's more like a mediterranian thing....

Add loads of mirrors and Union Jack side panels...perrrrrfect.

Ha, glad someone broke the ice on that.

Yeah nice ride adidass.

The pictures are gorgeous adidasss. Thanx for posting them, I can now say that I've seen (some of) Croatia!

hehe..thanks for the comments lads...:)

So like, would your sister take me for a ride on the Vespa down a deserted sideroad ??? http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...p/badteeth.gif

i think she wouldn't mind....but that's all you'd get....she's asexual....:)


i, on the other hand....:D
