Creepy Spot in Croatia

Today it rained, and we left for Croatia. We are camping near some place I am too lazy to find the name of right now- this spot is strange. There are TONS of bungaloes and empty campers; as it turns out, the ownership is changing hands in a week or two. Not sure what that means exactly, but there are electric hookups and we are right near the water. It feels creepy here- all these old, empty places with no one here in the high tourist season.

We all left to go to the far away town for a bar/restaurant, because some of the Swiss want to see some football soccer game. Rahel and I took bikes in case we wanted to leave early. Well, there was the craziest of ominous winds and I would say maybe 2 thirds the way there, I told them I was going back to the camper. If they want to watch sports and drink, let them, but I will not expend my energy, pedaling with little gain except getting practically blown over, just so I can eat, drink a few blahblahs and return in the stormy dark to where I started from. If the bar they were at happened to be showing a Curb Your Enthousiasm marathon, or Beverly Hills 90210- no problem. But, come on.

And so, I went back. And..... Wow, AMAZING sunset. The tiny beach, the sailboats, the mountains across the clear turquoise water (and I cannot forget, the nearby industrial something, perhaps powerplant) had the backdrop of electrified rainbow sherbert. It was ridiculous. I do not have a camera; mine is being repaired by fuji and the one I bought from the pawn shop didn't work ;(. So I took the one I could find in the camper, took some great pictures, and the camera case blew away. I was really scared for a minute or two about having to tell whomever's it is that I used their camera and lost the case. But, I found it crammed between some rocks. I told you the wind was crazy. Even my beer blew away. It was almost full and a tall boy.
