FIRST PART
When you really need a vacation after a whole year of studying and all your summer plans fall apart, just decide that you're going to backpack and explore trough out your own country. And if you're lucky as I am, that country is going to be Croatia. In last couple of years Croatian coast became a tourist hotspot, because of it's incredible blue, transparent sea and old Roman architecture. Also filming of Game of Thrones, Mama Mia, Robin Hood and many more, made Croatia must see location too many jet-seters.
But if you're looking for a little bit cheaper option for Croatia, keep reading!! :D
I packed my newly bought backpack with 2 bathing suits, few shirts and pants, water bottle, portable charger, sunscreen, sleeping bag and a tent, towel, pair of shoes, few hygienic things and 400 euros.

My trip started in Zagreb, my friend Ana and I hitchhiked to first city on the coast and that is Rijeka, mister dentist left us there. We stayed there for a couple of hours and then we took a boat to an island that goes by the name of Rab.
After 3 hour boat ride we arrived to Rab, as it was pretty late already we decided to look for a camp spot. The city of Rab is filled with tourists so we had to go a little outside of the city, we found camp spot by the water, cracked a cold one and watched one of the most beautiful sunsets that I have ever seen. Next morning we packed up our stuff and headed by the coast of island searching for a lonely beach. After some walking we succeeded to hitchhike a local guy who drove us to the little place called Lopari on the edge of the island.
Lopari has one of the most beatiful beaches in the whole Croatia, maybe even world. Rajska plaža or Heavenly beach is a white sandy beach with the clear transparent see that goes below your knees for 300 meters. We swam to the little island that was little further from Rajska plaža. We climbed that small unnamed island and were hit with really mesmerizing view.
I'm going to keep on writing about this little trip, I'll stretch it into few parts. Hope you guys enjoyed it!!
