Day 4, and time to say farewell to lovely Krk. Hazel and I took an early morning stroll back to the Titanic Bar spit for some photos from the water front. Total tranquility. Breakfast and then off in the minibus back to Krčki most (Krk bridge) and the mainland. The drive down the Jadranska magistrala coast road was fabulous, and after stocking up with supplies in Senj, we turned inland and zig zagged up into the Velebit mountains.
At the entrance to Northern Velebit National Park we said farewell to the minibus (which took our bags on up to Zavižan), donned boots and day packs and headed off into the Park's forests and high mountain meadows. A lovely walk - lots of flowers - brought us to Zavižan (1597m). From the mountain hut there are fabulous views out over the mountains and forests of Velebit and back out over the coast to the islands and the Adriatic.
After lunch, and a taste of the warden's rakia, Edo led The Ladies down to the Botanical Gardens - a bowl-shaped depression (technically a sink hole or - given the karst terrain - a doline) where examples of Velebit flora have been gathered together, with many also labelled. I had a field day. Part way round the Gardens, we turned left and climbed through the woods and on up through the scrub pines to the peak of Veliki Zavižan (Great Zavižan) at 1676m. A steep climb, and worth it for the views. Edo got his "this is why I love my job" photo; and in honour of *that* Mammia Mia evening, Hazel, Cat and I did our interpretation of Abba's Waterloo.
Back at the mountain hut, we sampled a bottle of two of the Velebit range of beers before mucking in to make salad, chop cheese and generally prepare for dinner. In between starters (Tomato-cucumber-pepper salad, bread, Krk goats cheese) and mains (bean stew and sausage), we took ourselves up the small hill opposite and watched the sunset over the islands - beautiful. Back for beans, then bed.

Nalgene hydration bladder warranty replacements - cxc reservoir.
A students fills her drinking cup from a tap connected to a water bladder installed by UNICEF at
Gonka Complete Primary School in Gonka Kebele (sub-district), high in the mountains of Tigray Region’s Hintalo Wejirat Woreda (district).
The ongoing drought has caused water scarcity in the area. By March 2016, the yield of a shallow well that serves the community, located about 40 metres from the school, had reduced by 50 per cent.
Haftu Gebreziher, the director of the Gonka Complete Primary School says that he was losing students by the day, estimating a 60 per cent absentee rate. Some were spending the day walking for hours fetching water at the distant river, others couldn’t pay attention in class. Now, with UNICEF-supported water trucking services and the Government school feeding programme, that has changed, he says.
As of April 2016, through water trucking interventions in drought-affected areas in six Regional States, including at Gonka Complete Primary School to serve Gonka Kebele, UNICEF has delivered approximately 15 million litres of water to 300,000 people and distributed WASH supplies including water treatment chemicals, soaps and jerry cans to over 600,000 people. UNICEF, the WASH cluster lead, is also supporting the Government of Ethiopia and other partners in the rehabilitation, maintenance and construction of new water supply systems, provision of water purification and treatment chemicals, scaling up of water trucking activities, and provision of sanitation and hygiene facilities in schools. UNICEF is also exploring innovative ways to use satellites to detect deep groundwater for large scale, multiple-village water supply systems.

Bladder campion....a very common wildflower locally.... Sometimes it is redder in colour....
Internet info
"Bladder campion. A. Plant. B. Flower.
Stems & Roots: Root system a coarse, whitish taproot with numerous, deeply penetrating and widely spreading wiry branches, very persistent (tolerant of cultivation); stems 30 - 60 cm (1 - 2 ft) high, erect or spreading, smooth, light green to whitish with a waxy bloom (fine powdery coating), usually swollen at the nodes; leaves opposite (2 per node), narrowly oval, tapered, deep green or whitish with a waxy bloom, the margins without teeth but occasionally wavy or curled and appearing toothed.
Flowers & Fruit: Flowers in branching clusters; sepals united and forming a bladder-like calyx, light green or pinkish with darker green or purplish veins and 5 very short teeth at the end; petals 5, deeply lobed, white to pinkish, about 1.5 cm (¾ in.) across when open, soon curling up and shriveling after pollination; seedpods nearly spherical, about 6 mm (¼ in.) long, enclosed by the loose, papery, bladder-like calyx; seeds grayish, kidney-shaped, 1.5 mm (1/16 in.) across, rough with tiny warty bumps. Flowers from mid-June to September.
Habitat: Bladder campion occurs throughout Ontario in medium to coarse soils in well-drained locations. It is common in pastures, waste places, roadsides, open woods, gardens, lawns and hedges, but is rather uncommon in regularly cultivated fields."
Highdown Gardens near Worthing, West Sussex.
From Wikipedia -
Silene vulgaris, Silene cucubalus or Bladder Campion is a plant species of the genus Silene of the Pink Family (Caryophyllaceae). It is native to Europe, where in some parts it is eaten, but is widespread in North America where it is considered a weed.
However in Spain, the young shoots and the leaves are used as food. The tender leaves may be eaten raw in salads. The older leaves are usually eaten boiled or fried, sauteed with garlic as well as in omelettes.
Formerly in La Mancha region of Spain, where Silene vulgaris leaves are valued as a green vegetable, there were people known as "collejeros" who picked these plants and sold them. Leaves are small and narrow, so it takes many plants to obtain a sizeable amount.
In La Mancha the Silene vulgaris leaves, locally known as "collejas", were mainly used to prepare a dish called gazpacho viudo (widower gazpacho). The ingredients were flatbread known as tortas de gazpacho and a stew prepared with Silene vulgaris leaves. The reference to a widower originated in the fact that this dish was only eaten when meat was scarce and the leaves were emergency or lean-times food, a substitute for an essential ingredient. Other dishes prepared with these leaves in Spain include "potaje de garbanzos y collejas", "huevos revueltos con collejas" and "arroz con collejas".
In Crete it is called Agriopapoula (Αγριοπάπουλα) and the locals eat its leaves and tender shoots browned in olive oil.
Bladder Snail - Physa spp. [more of this species]
Bladder snails look a little like pond snails but the main different is the sinistral shell (left handed). If you have the pointy part of the shell up, the aperture would be on the left. Also, they have long antennae, and not triangular.

Bladder Cicada (Cystosoma saundersii) near Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. Photographed on 11 January 2005
I am not sure if it holds clean water or the other stuff. This might be the water supply for the shower tent next to the latrine. I guess I didn't investigate closely enough.

Roughly bounded by Irvine Park, West 7th, Walnut, and Sherman
Saint Paul, MN
The Justus Ohage House is a Romanesque Revival design with Germanic features from 1889. The house was supposedly designed to resemble the childhood home of his wife Augusta from when she grew up in St. Louis, Missouri. Unfortunately, Augusta died at age 34 just a few weeks after the house was finished. Dr. Ohage raised the couple's five children and made several other accomplishments, such as establishing St. Paul's public health service, built public bathhouses, and opened the first city zoo at Harriet Island before donating the land to the city, and performed the first successful gall bladder operation in the United States in 1886.
Silene vulgaris, the bladder campion or maidenstears is a plant species of the genus Silene of the pink family (Caryophyllaceae). It is native to Europe, where in some parts it is eaten, but is widespread in North America where it is considered a weed.
