Ciao Croatia

I left from Zagreb this morning at 00.12 in a crowded train with a cabin full of travelers.

I have had some mixed emotions about the departure. I didn't to leave. But I knew I had to. Part of me says to get back on that train, what the hell am i thinking? and to spend more time there. just be more frugal with the funds. that would mean the omladinski. but stop! this isn't going to happen! i am continuing in a southeasterly direction. I have become a juggernaut and cannot be suppressed. What remains to be seen is whether I will travel through Bulgaria from Macedonia or to Romania from here. Where in between?

Where I go from Istanbul is wholly unfamiliar to me. Save Abhi and Ash. I am excited but a little disconcerted, too.

I was never good with farewells, so Croatia, all I will say is ciao. dovidenja.
