Thank you Maria! ♥️ It was really nice with you!

It happened! I lost my nerves!

I just couldn't stand it anymore in 'Old Town' Dubrovnik.

Tourists, tourists, tourists... with or without city map in hand, photographers, lovers, retired teachers in knee socks and sandals, who ask for more details during city tours, oily-submissive Balkan beauties who stand in front of restaurants and cafes and try to win you over for their store... and everything is clinically clean.

I can't take it anymore! I can't bear it until tomorrow!

'I want to break free!!!'

So in the late afternoon, I ran off, just like that... away from the place where happy people spend their well-deserved annual vacation.

Just away from the place where everything is clean, safe and beautiful.

I finally need dirt and gutter again!

As long as my feet carried me, I ran towards the setting sun.

'As long as my feet carried me', was 40 minutes. It's just hot here.

And now?

What am I doing here? What am I looking for anyway?

I was completely out of breath and asked fate for a sign.

And there it was:

In red letters on the facade of a rancid shopping center was the word 'kik'!

Awesome, I have to go there. And really, it has everything here that I missed in the week:

- Croats!

- There is a one euro shop (which I find even more astonishing because they don't pay with euros here.)

- a discount bakery

-kik

- High school girls who have a big mouth and smoke

- a really creepy store that I can't assign

- a café with a rusty porch swing

and....

- the 'Beauty Loop' salon.

After buying a neck pillow and headphones for the long bus ride, I felt a great desire to get my hair done. So I bravely went into the hair salon and asked.

I was served by the wonderful Maria ♥️!

Oh, it was so nice! We had so much fun! And I notice that my pathetic clowning actually works here on the Adriatic:

'How would you like it?' - 'I want to look like Hugh Jackman!'

Oh no, please... 🙄

'All 1mm please!' - 'Really? That's short, not trying 4mm first?' - 'No, 1mm! Go for it!'

Meeeeeeh! Meeeeeeh! Meeeeeeh!

'Stop, wait! 4mm after all!' -' What? 😳' -' Just kidding! '

Hm...

Seriously!

Thank you, Maria!

I needed you today!

It was wonderful!
