Keep calm and carry on (aug 12)

Got 6 hours sleep and it was good enough. Big travel day. We originally thought we would train all the way back to Zagreb and then down to split, but someone at the desk said it made more sense to transfer at a different spot. We tried to get off the train where we were told, but the man attending te doors stopped us and the doors closed and the train moved on. we weren't too late or anything, we were quite speedy, but we said we wanted split and he thought we were supposed to bar transferred at the last stop even though we had a reservation for the one he just made is miss. He knew not a word of English and us not a word of Croatian, but he was able to communicate that the stop an hour from now will have the same train still to split. I was still happy, we were originally going to go all the way to Zagreb and back, and we still had more than two hours to kill in the train station at the fitter stop, so it didn't really make a difference. Bays was next to tears Abe was so frustrated that he 'wouldn't listen', which I was shocked by because she I usually more considerate of the language barrier. Everything worked out, it was no problem changing our reservation so I'm glad I didn't cause my body more stress.

We were confirmed to stay in a cabin at the campsite in split for a little more money than Expected because they only rent 4 person tents not 2 person. The current plan is to spend tonight in the cabin for 27euro/night, and then buy a tent for the next 2 nights. I haven't voiced my concern about this yet.. I forsee it being more trouble than it's worth, though I do t know the cost/amount we'd save I just pitch a te t instead of using their cabin, abs tents are supposedly 200 kuna (about 40 dollars if this is accurate) and we would split the cost, but then we have to share who carries it and what to do with it after the trip; does someone keep it? Can we sell it? Anyways... It might make sense for cost efficiency, I just hope it doesn't come at the price if or happiness/cooperation.
