We left on the ferry. It was getting dark, made more so by the clouds overhead, and we arrived in Zadar as the sun set behind the church at the harbor. Kelle and Hrvoje hadn't eaten yet, and Ivan and I were getting hungry again, having only nibbled on sandwiches, and the guys decided they wanted pizza. We walked into Zadar and looked for a pizza place, and couldn't find one, so Hrvoje asked some teenage boys walking by if there was one. They tried to explain, but it turned out to be too difficult, so they just led us there instead. We sat down and ordered. I didn't really want pizza, so I ordered something else (forgot what). I remember Ivan ordered spaghetti, and Hrvoje got his pizza with anchovies on it. Kelle HATES fish, and refused to kiss Hrvoje until he brushed his teeth. We sat at the restaurant for a while, I finished my caj (ch-eye) [tea], and we left.

Walking to the train station, we stopped off for Kelle to go to the bathroom, and to pick up a nibble of food for the trip. We arrived at the kolodvor at about 7:30pm, and the train didn't leave until 9:45pm, if I recall correctly. I remember that there are NO chairs in the station itself, but there were two sets of hard, plasti-chairs outside by the trains. I was tired, so I laid down with my head on Ivan's lap and tried to sleep, but again, my legs and hips kept going numb. *sigh* I eventually gave up and it was cold, so we walked around for a bit. There was no heat on inside the station, either, so we just kinda moved around to keep warm. Eventually, ECONOtrain pulled up and we made our slow, 40mph way to Knin in the darkness.

We arrived in Knin and got off the train at around midnight. It was really cold, and drizzling. We waited about 15 or 20 minutes for the train to come, and boarded it for Zagreb. It was FULL. As we opened compartment doors, we noticed that the seats converted into little bed type things to sleep on. Wish we would have known that on the way down! There were no empty compartments, so We ended up splitting up into pairs. Hrvoje and Kelle got a compartment with only 1 person in it, and were able to convert the seats into the beds. Ivan and I managed to find a compartment with 3 people in it, which means we couldn't convert the seats, and there was little room to get comfy without getting more friendly than is polite with strangers. We put our things on the rack and Ivan went to sleep. I swear, I don't know how he does it. I moved over to the side of the compartment and rested my feet on the armrest next to this older lady, and tried to sleep, and maybe got an hour the whole way to Zagreb. We showed up in Zagreb at like 5am, and went back to the house to crash.
