Croatia: Friday

First, the news to celebrate: this morning we found out that our paper won a best paper award at the conference! Yay!

I went to the morning session of the conference, while Tim and Maya went on a walk. They walked up to a cemetary and mausoleum that overlook Cavtat. Here are some photos from their walk:





I met them late morning, and we checked out of the Hotel Croatia. Here are some pictures of the hotel:



It turns out it wasn't the greatest hotel; it definitely wasn't worth the 5 stars. The staff was usually very helpful, but on several occasions, they had quite sassy responses to requests. The three of us walked into Cavtat, did some shopping, and had a fantastic lunch at an out of the way restaurant that was recommended by both our tourbook and the guy next to Tim on the airplane:


This afternoon, we flew to London. When we finally got to our hotel (it seemed to take forever to get through immigration and ticket lines), we were more than pleasantly surprised. It's a lovely place that we got for a great price (especially for central London), and we can see the Houses of Parliament from our window. And they have free (reliable) internet access. Yippee!!

Depending on how tired we are tomorrow evening, we might give you an update on our day in London.
