Dinner dilemmas

The next few days are going to make me fat. The nearest shop has bread, alcohol and alot of chocolate. That's about it. The nearest restaurant has shut down and the local cafe, at the entrance of the Plitvice Lakes national park only serves burgers and sausages.

I've bought bread and salami to make sandwiches for lunch,  but for dinner I can either have more sandwiches or a burger.

Admittedly I haven't checked out the shared kitchen facilities my guesthouse offers but there is unlikely to be anything I can utilise. As in, I'm too tight to buy pasta, plus I'd then have a massive bag of pasta to carry round.

I'm going to be burning off the calories during the day and promptly piling them back on in the evening. Which brings me to the other problem. There is nothing to do in the evenings. Apart from the park, there is nothing here.

The park is clearly the only thing that brings people to this area. There is nothing here. Literally nothing. The shop is at the park as is the cafe. I assume part of the reason the restaurant has closed down is because people  weren't using it. Mainly because there is no one here. Apart from the people who run the guesthouses of course. But they probably mostly cook for themselves. I'm staying about a 5 minute walk from the entrance. Down my road is about 6 guesthouses and thats it. They are in a fantastic location though - its so quiet and they have big gardens.

The third problem - because there is no one here, there is no cash machine. I got enough out for the guesthouse and a little extra, but it really is only a little, since £1 is about 100000000 kuna.

In case you didn't notice,  there was a slight bit of exaggeration in the last paragraph. I'll leave you to work out where. You need to do some of the work yourself.
