[Luke]: We train, you go to Zagreb, destination choice at the last minute as if to say "just go wherever we go away from here ..."

The train goes ... never mind carry everything and everyone ... Whatever happens he goes! Every inhabitant, the window, looks bewildered and stunned the nature resting! Zingarelli by the bare feet gathered near the tracks we are having a party and greet us ... he slows down a bit '... but then it goes ... I admire the Slavic world that runs through my front, it seems an old movie, an old film whose simplicity softens you ...

Sometimes I think how lucky we are to have the opportunity to live these moments, feelings that will be forever engraved in our hearts, our minds, our souls! Traveling is eating experience new and exciting ... just so I can make sense of this life! And then I get angry: how to squander a precious thing so blinded by trivial things ... when I see those guys that even with the same "economic opportunity" Our only concern is having the most modern mobile phone or car more powerful or more expensive clothes because only signed by the designer ... and then give up life ...

We share our compartment with three medical students in Madrid, they are making the inter rail tickets with fake ...

[Luke]: We have moved from the third world to the small Macedonian Croatian Switzerland ... but how the hell did they all stand together before? It was a madness to live with all these people so different from each other under the same flag ... and in fact the bomb exploded at the end!
The 17 hours by train from Zagreb to Skopije am pleasantly spent thanks to the company of three other students of medicine in Zagreb: Ivan Iva Silva and chatting about everything from former Yugoslavia to alcohol, from IVF to women ...
[Fiona from Madrid]: Es como curious ocurren las cosas, Conocer personas to normal with no quieres estar aqui y relación establecerias conpartiendo bebida y comida. Es multiple de experiencias y que me alegro de estar impresionas Viviendo.

We are now in a nice hostel in the center, I love the life of hostel in here all seem old friends ... you know just because staying in the same place ... and so it happens to meet in the corridor a better Anglo / Indian smiles with a friendly "good morning" as if we were all day together!

These Italian noodles that united all these people so different from each other ...
It 'a pot of lean enough spaghetti to gather a panel of people from different countries: Spain, England and Australia, with elongated orange juice with vodka shortly after they had already claimed the first victims but that warms the atmosphere for the game of drink cards ... a game proposed by Australian Kate was to draw a card from a deck and according to it discover your destiny alcoholic ... What a hoot ... After we recovered we meet in the center with our friends and Croatian Ivan Silva to do two jumps in the disco (lake) after admiring an elegant Zagreb by night!

Silva told me the legend of Dora:
About 400 years ago, the king's son becomes infatuated with a courtesan: Dora. A humble and poor girl of the people. The two soon fall in love madly with each other but first the king (father of the boy) that categorically forbade marriage for the heir to the throne could not marry a girl of blood "blue", the other King's personal secretary (a indescribable ugliness), had in turn love with the beautiful Dora and did his best to put spokes in the wheels to two boys! Taking advantage of the fact that at that time the prince was fighting a war against the Hungarians, the evil secretary Dora did accuse of being a witch, and soon ended at the stake. Informed, the prince arrived in town only a few days later and could not save his love ... not all tales have happy endings!

Ivan's house to witness the opening ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games ... Moments of emotion at the passing of the Representation sports Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel and cheer from stage to that of the Italian Smoking Barrels!
