... and making sure we had everything we needed.<br><br>Just went and had a short walk around and baked trout dinner at Serum which was a cool little place like being in someones living room. <br>Went to a couple of bars afterwards and found out why it was so quiet in Split - Sunday is the "day of the dead" (the way the barman in the first bar explained it to me) which is the day of the year that everyone visits the graves of their ...

... were stepping off the ferry, hoards of people were shouting to us, &#8220;Do you need accommodation?!&#8221; It was all the locals who have sobes. They all wait at the ferry dock to &#8220;attack&#8221; tourists when they are walking off the plank. We then had to choose between three different people who had gotten to us, all trying to convince us to rent their place simultaneously. It&#8217;s really hard to listen to three Croatians who barely ...

... about to watch our second sunset here-it truly is a highlight so far for us. Originally we were only going to stay one night and drive into Split today, but the beauty of having Fred means that is we like a place, we can stay longer :) Our third campsite in Croatia is by far the best; I had to really force myself away from doing nothing to write this!

However, he didn´t turn around but kept heading toward another bay and found some fisherman who shared some local wine and fish with him. He had a great time - if only we´d kept walking as well!
