Cheese: This one is pretty straightforward. For lunch one day I ordered a pizza and Morgan ordered four cheese lasagna. Her dish was basically a bowl of cheese with one flat noodle in it. Having eaten bread and cheese almost exclusively for a week, eating an entire pizza and then half a bowl of cheese plugged me up pretty good. Yikes!
Now for the aquatic hitchhiking. Morgan and I took a car ferry to Sali, a town on Dugi Otok (otok is Croatian for "island"). It was then 12km to our destination, a salt water lake an cliffs in a National Park on the south tip of the island. We stuck our thumbs out (all part of the plan), and after 20 minutes and 2 cars we secured a ride.
As amazing the ride was in the back of the convertible, winding up and down hills under the blazing sun, we couldn't help but think of the return trip. Based on the fact that we passed no other cars, we were pretty sure we'd be walking.
The park was beautiful!
As we prepared ourselves for the long walk back to Sali, Morgan had a brilliant idea. Why not ask one of the boats parked for a day excursion how much they would charge to take us back to mainland. We sidled up to one boat, talked to a girl working on board, and she told us to hop on, free of charge! Booyah. Instead of a 12k walk and a$10 car ferry, we had half an excursion through the islands for free.

Your island trip sounds so awesome and looks so beautiful! How fun to get the free boat ride. Now as for you Morgan ... what are you thinkin' sitting on the edge of those cliffs like that! :)
Morgan was terrified, I was only kind of terrified...
