Caught bus from Plitvice Jezera to Split and got in about 7pm. Found Situs Hostel no problem (once we actually followed the instructions properly) and it's a really cool, clean, nice small hostel. Peter was really helpful in pointing out things to do and see and eat. Peter's mum was awesome too making us coffee in the ...

... down a little. We put on our raincoats and walked into town, risking getting drenched. It ended up not being too bad but started pouring again soon after.

So after three days on the beautiful island of Hvar, we did not go to the beach once. We did not see any sun until it peeked out for a few minutes an hour before we left. The only good thing was that those were the three days Andre had a cold/flu so even though it was a bummer he was ...

... the town just around the bend and there is a promenade that we are looking forward to walking along…we are also hoping for some seafood for dinner!

This campsite is along the coast of Croatia just before the bigger town of Split. Yesterday, we drove from our campsite near Zadar along the coast for a couple of hours and found this spot…we wanted something that was close to a small town and also to Split, but ...

Ed and Liezel had made plans to travel to Bol on the island of Brac next. Eugene, Kevin, Vivian and I really did not have any plans at all. The Lonely Planet guide said that Bol had a famous beach that looked like a tongue, so we decided to join Ed and Liezel on the next leg of their trip. I sure hope they don't mind! So we all purchased tickets on the 4:30pm ferry to Bol. We had to check out at 10am ...

... my camera broke down :( have to get a new one.
The night was not great..
I found a nice place to fix my hammock somwhere on that hill, and i was considering, that it might start raining, so this place was sheltered. I was right, it started thundering and raining over night, and unfortunatly the roof from that roofed view point was not water-proof :( I had to grab my stuff and run, but i was lucky. after ...

... souvenir stalls, you begin to sense the scale and grandeur of the palace. Passing through the passageway, you reach the Peristil, or main square of the palace. The square is surrounded by ancient columns and the Cathedral of St. Domnius on the eastern side of the square. A black granite Egyptian sphinx acquired by Diocletian during battle guards the entrance to the Cathedral.

Local residents and tourists relax on broad steps along the sides of the Peristil, and ...

... out of the city center is a beautiful set of paths winding up through the forests and along ancient ramprts providing outstanding views of the red roofed city sitting on azure Adriatic waters and backed by dramatic rocky mountains. Split is a really nice city and deserves more than it's transitory reputation - we recommend it as a nice break from the beaches to visit for a day or two. Also adding to our enjoyment was our guesthouse, the INSERT NAME Lodge run by a ...

... store eh?) I smiled sheepishly at the supermarket clerk and offered lots of "Hvala"s as she led me around the store, gathering items on the list...tomato sauce, fresh bread and the like. Elda whipped up a fantastic pasta dish in about 9 seconds, and we sat out in the courtyard with a gentleman from Ireland and ate heaps (my first real meal in at least 24 hours). I decided to do nothing that afternoon. Its only been less than a week, but travelling by ...

... for aa kjope brukte, engelske boker. Har enda til gode aa se en bok jeg kunne tenkt meg da, men... I tillegg er det mulig aa faa informasjon om busser, baater, steder aa bo og hva man kan fordrive tiden med i Split og Kroatia. Stedet det jeg bor ligger ogsaa denne gangen midt i smoeroeyet, i gamlebyen, kort vei til alle restaurant-turistfellene i Split med sure kelnere og daarlig mat. Shopping muligheter rett utenfor doeren, likesaa vandring i middelalderske gater ...

... Croatia-Brasil match which had a fantastic atmosphere in Split - everyone decked out in red and white checks, red flares everywhere, croatians chanting the whole game, it was unfortunate that they didn't score and lost 0-1, but I got the feeling they were not too disappointed with the result. I'm glad I'll be back home for the Aus-Croatia match in a few weeks, think I would probably be lynched! They're pretty passionate and intense football supporters, the Croatians.
