I don't know if this topic is suitable here due to the winter weather, but if you want to plan your summer vacation in time, you may read the article with gusto and maybe use it as a tip where to look. After about fifteen years, we decided to go on holiday to Croatia. Although I was a little scared of the number of tourists who will have the same idea as us, but after a long thought and early booking, we decided to book accommodation in apartment Lebedina in the town Kaštel Štafilić near Split. But more detailed in a moment.
So we packed everything necessary and indispensable, that is, what I was convinced would not be able to do on such a holiday by the sea. Swimwear, T-shirts, shorts, water shoes and many other bigger or smaller things. To avoid the traffic jams, we left on Thursday night to arrive the next day at noon. Everything went according to plan and my time estimate, so as we approached the border with Austria, we stopped at a gas station to refuel and get some refreshments. The husband fed the car and went to buy coffee and something to eat. I thought I would sweeten the holiday too and we commissioned him to buy me a tatranka. Normally I'm not very sweet and I last had a Tatra one year ago, but I just had a taste for it. Well, I went to the bathroom for now.
When I returned, I didn't see my husband anywhere, so I assumed he had taken coffee with him and was waiting for me in the car. Well, yes. With a smile, he handed me a tatranka and a bottle of cola (probably a bonus J). I just fastened and we set off. I bit into the wafer with gusto. She was good, so I wondered why I wouldn't take her more often. After a while, I peeled it off, rested my head, and listened to the radio.
The road went well, we crossed the border without any problems and continued further south. So far, so good. But in the next minute, my peace was there. I wanted to look at my cell phone to see if anyone was writing to me, but hey! I didn't have a phone or a handheld bag. I was drenched in cold sweat, and suddenly it was clear to me where he was. On the gas station, on the toilet, on a hook on the wall. Oh yeah, why did I just hang her there? There was also my wallet with money, documents, payment card. Well, just everything.
"Turn it around immediately, we have to go back," I screamed hysterically, startling my husband, and it took me a moment to explain to him what had happened. Of course, for an hour and a half since we were coming back, I had heard such talk, how something like that might have occurred to me, why I didn't remember the bag, and so on. I couldn't say anything about it, because it really was my heavenly stupidity. So all I had to do was pray all the way that someone had found the bag and returned it to the staff. In original condition and not stolen.
Our car almost didn't stop yet, but I was already opening the door and rushing to the gas station. I probably looked really scared, because the people, of whom there were several, immediately backed out of my way. Fortunately, the lady at the cash register smiled at me and almost immediately picked up my bag from under the counter, I began to believe that my Tatra anabasis would end happily. Surprisingly, I came across honest people who returned the bag as they found it. I was happy that we could continue on vacation, the gas station attendant didn't want to take any finds and she also told me that she ran after me and wanted to stop us, but she didn't make it. It's a fact that when we left, it seemed to me that someone was waving furiously behind us, but at that moment I didn't pay attention to it, I had my Tatra girl…
So my mistress has prepared us for more than three hours of time, which has been extended for us, but it all ended up well and we arrived very much in the afternoon. The lady, elderly, about seventy-year-old lady was very kind, housed us and made us whole apartment Lebedina. She herself lived in a separate part of the house, so we had complete privacy. Although the lady enticed us to sit on the terrace, which looked nice and calm, we refused thanks because we were quite tired, so we transferred our luggage to the room and without unpacking, for a while we settled into a comfortable seat in the living area apartment. The whole space was pleasantly air-conditioned, so even though it was very hot outside, we were very pleasant.
I must admit that we didn't even want to do anything. Only when I brewed a very strong coffee in the coffee machine, which I saw in the super kitchen, we got a little confused and were able to do more. We went through the whole apartment, which was even nicer than we expected, but I couldn't stand it anymore, we had to go to the sea.
When I changed my swimsuit, I just thought to myself how one damn Tatra girl, because of which I forgot my handbag on the gas station, could ruin the whole holiday, which was now beginning to look beautiful. But to make matters worse, at that time I had no idea that even the way home would not be possible without unexpected complications…
