Apartmani Johnny Split

... beach again as it was such a nice day.<br>Walked to Marjan Forest Park and hired bikes and rode around park. Some pretty steep hills but awesome views from the top of the park and heaps fun going back down.<br>Went back to Fife for dinner since it was so awesome and so cheap and had tripe and roast veal.<br>Fife is some of the best and best value food I've had in ages. Especially compared to most of the other touristy places in Split

... chilled out and went to bed.<br><br>Of course what we didn&#8217;t know is that the next day, the island was going to experience a full on storm. We were told it might rain a little that day, but raining a little was a big understatement. From the time we woke up the next morning until after we left two days later, it was POURING down rain and VERY windy. We were house-bound for 2 days. The only time we went out was one evening when the rain ...

After we left the park, the drive down to where we are now was spectacular, although a bit different than I pictured Croatia to be-it is a lot rockier and a bit more like what we thought Greece would be like. Our second campsite was just before the town of Zadar in a town called Nin; we pulled in and this funny little man came up to us-there was no way we could say no to his smiling face even if the campsite was horrible! Luckily ...

So we arrived in Split to kickoff our Sail Croatia experience. Getting off the bus whilst still dark is not the most pleasant experience. Was slightly chilly but not cold and there really isnt much to see. There was a crazy lady who kept on offering us a room ... was tempting but we persisted through. We got to see our first and probably only sunrise of our trip and then the warmth kicked in. Doubled with a coffee we were warmed and trying to keep the reminants of sleep at bay.<br><br>We ...

... from the bakery and for the gang to have their morning coffee. We did not have too much time as we were supposed to change apartments at 10am. We arrived a day late and the landlord said that the upstairs apartment was only available for one night and that we had to move downstairs the following day. At least he did not charge us for night we missed!<br><br>After moving our stuff, we met up with Ed and Liezel and headed into town to ...

... out of mozzarella. I checked out the sandwich (it was wrapped) but it really wasn't very appealing so I had to tell him that I didn't want it. I later looked around for snacks and found a sit down/take out restaurant upstairs! I found a cheese strudel to go and ate that on my way back through the security line. Most of us spent the rest of our downtime putting the finishing touches on the presentations we would be presenting later that night.<br><br>When we finally boarded ...

We drove to Split in pouring rain and boarded the Ferry at around 8pm. The ferry had a casino, restaurant, "movie theater", bar and shops... all decorated in 50ties style. It felt like the clock stopped ticking 50 years ago. Once on board we had a surprisingly good dinner at the restaurant ...

... faa nedtegninger. Byen er imidlertid aldri funnet, man vet ikke hvor denne byen laa. Spennende, hvertfall for en arkeolog. Etter romerrikets fall fikk man en oekt paavirkning fra oesten og handelen med oesten oekte i omfang. Ellers har jeg gaatt tur paa byfjellet, Marjan. Her er det en flott utsikt over Split som strekker seg mye lenger enn man foerst faar inntrykk av som turist. Denne turen er vel verdt aa ta naar man er i Split. For Split har ikke saa veldig mye aa ...

... of old leftover columns and statues. That evening I wandered out again but was sadly disappointed by the sheer number of tourists around and the cut and polished veneer of Split that makes it seem like just another international seaside tourist destination. But hey, the waterfront was a nice place, and I had fun wandering and fetting lost in the streets and trying the locally mde hamburger with this special tomato ...

... three bottles of home made schnapps and four shot glasses. Not wanting to pass up the chance for free alcohol, we had a few there early in the day. Before the Canadians had arrived, I had been floating around this food and wine fair that was happening on the esplanade near the port. I was a little drunk before they came and after we all went, I was pleasantly tipsy. In Australia, when you are given a taste of the wine, it is about 10mL, but here they were ...
