Which is the right one? Do they have numbers or have you got to converse with some moody Croatian bus driver to find out?
(i'm basing my prejudgment of the driver on every Croatian I met out there last year. inb4 'they are not all moody')
they all have numbers and destinations but if you go to main bus station they're all safe and speak english...your just looking for a bus which says puntiziela

Now that's gangsta!
I was there last year, just shamed myself by being a shit tourist and never leaving the campsite. THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN THIS YEAR!
Pula has the worlds 6th largest amphitheatre, don't you know. I wanna see all that good stuff!!
the special outlook buses only go to where people's apartments are and not pula though....local transport otherwise

I have a quick question regarding plane tickets as I've never had to buy them before. I'm going to be traveling from Texas to Croatia, when would be the latest I could pick up plane tickets? I'm trying to save up enough money to have them purchased by the beginning of June, is that early enough?

I read somewhere that two months to the day that you are flying is the cheapest time to get them. Never tried it though.
But anyway, getting your tickets at the beginning of June is plenty of time. People buy last minute tickets all the, it just costs loads.

Have to tell you cityzen that trieste airport is perhaps one of the most dead airports ever, probably on a level with blackpool. Was pretty depressing last year having a 6 hour wait with a dirty hangover and fuck all to do in the airport
Still well worth it!

My mates did that last year they spent about a grand spending money then i think another £250 for the 3 week pass. Pretty pricey and trains in croatia are dire. Best bet if you were intetrailing is go to venice then get the boat from venice to pula, think its pretty cheap the boat too.

Just search interrail bro , the website tells you exactly how much it will be! I reckon this is what i'm doing, it's about £150 for a ten day pass in which you can have five trips I think. Planning on going Dam and Prague by doing this as well
Just checked the site again, it costs more if you're above 25

Were volunteering so we can get free tickets and apparently you only have to do one 6-8 hour shift during the actual festival, would not be able to afford it otherwise. Gonna leave on the 5th and have a night out in Ljubljana (if were not too knackered) stay over, get the train to vienna the next day, hopefully sleep a little bit and have another night out in vienna, then fly from there the next day! All works out surprisingly cheap actually. Gonna be sickk. Wondering if anyone else is volunteering/ having a night in ljubljana or flying from vienna?
i think i'm doing the same thing! vienna to ljubljana to pula and on the reverse coming back as well. trains are much cheaper than i was expecting and i prefer train travel tenfold over flying too

I'm not, and £150 sounds like my kinda budget!! Yh, i checked the site was all a little confusing, but if i can make it for that im so down
now i just gotta pray i get a ticket out of the extra 300...

not much love for the sunshine bus here? i hate the idea of being stuck in a box for 36 hours, but the price and ease of it seem so much better than flights etc, i cant find any flights that can match the price, and i dont like the idea of having to go to an airport hundreds of miles away then get a taxi there lol is it just that everyone on dsf is too rich/snobby to get the sunshine bus?
