Rijeka In The Middle Of A Crowd

As I've told you I am at this moment in Croatia. Taking in the last breathes of summer and saving up for the winter. Unfortunately this is our last day here, which always is a moment of mixed feelings. Sad to be leaving this amazing place, with the summer heat we never get to experience in Sweden - Thank God for airplanes. But at the same time there is always a good feeling about going home again, after having a great vacation. To meet all of the people that are closest to you. Tell them all about the trip and what you've experienced. And of course there's nothing like the feeling of laying in your own bed again. 
.
However, this post wasn't supposed to be all about whether I have homesickness or not. It's more about one day, the other weeek, when we visited the big city Rojeka here in Croatia. It was 35 degrees (celcius) that day, so it was obviously extremely hot. Especially when you're in the middle of a crowd, and not at the beach. 
But even so, we had a great day. In the middle of our sunny-beach-pool-vacation, it was so much fun to walk around in a big city and experience a different kind of environment. We ate ice cream, went through stores and even bought a few things, strolled around in different alleys and streets, just to get away from the crowd of tourists. A really great day. And you know what they say; if your feet hurt like crazy at the end of the day, you've done something right.

Feeling Of Croatia

So the summer is unfortunately heading to its end. But instead of facing that fact, Jonas and I went on a two-week-long vacation to a little Island called Krk in Croatia. We have been here for a bit more than a week now, and have about four days to go. We're living in this amazing apartment, just a five-minute-walk from the beach and city centre. We rented a scooter for a few days, which gave us the opportunity to go on smaller trips all over the island. We have been wakeboardning, snorkeling in the clear turqoise water, visiting beautiful white stone-beaches, taking hikes through valleys and between mountains to reach these amazing places, and eating creamy gelato. We have also had picnics everywhere and there and one day we visited the big city Rijeka. All in all, we're having the best time here and I can't do else than agree with the people who've been describing Croatia as crazy beautiful

A Pastel Rooftop

The other night Amanda and I brought the camera and ourselves out on the rooftop, right outside my bedroom window. The most perfect pastel sky was starting to appear, as you clearly can see on the photos. During the summer up here in northern Sweden it never gets dark at night, it's like te sun never goes down. But now when the summer is heading to its end, unfortunately, it's getting darker every night. Even though I love when it is light all the time, the good thing about our evenings getting darker is that these kind of pastel skies appears more often. Suddenly it is not so awful about the autumn approaching(!). 
.
But an other thing that was not amazing about this night, was that it was the last time Amanda and I did something together. At least for 4 months, since she is moving for college in New York City next week. I will not babble here about how sad it is, but the main point is that I am going to miss her tremendously.

Never Too Late For A Good Graduation

.

Here are the, almost forgotten, photos of what I looked like at my graduation in june. I am totally behind my schedule for posting these now. But when it comes to good pictures, that you have really put yourself into, I believe it's never too late. These photos are taken by my dear sister, and styled and edited by me. 
.
These exact pictures were taken about a week after the actual day, but my graduation was the most magical day. Maybe except for the few moments when it unfortunately rained a lot, but even so the experience was something I've never been through before. The whole day was scheduled and planned out for you. I probably got up around 5 am and went to bed at 2 pm. You would think that all those hours would give you some kind of rest between the events, but that was unfortunately not the case. I have never in my entire life been activated, physically, socially and mentally, as many hours as I was during that particular day. So, obviously, I was beyond tired when heading home that night, but I had had a great day that's for certain. A memorable day.
