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 ...

... with him quite a bit to get him back to the price we thought we were getting. In the end, it worked out and we had a 3-bedroom apartment with a really beautiful view all to ourselves for 480 Kuna altogether (that&#8217;s only $16 each a night which is really cheap in Europe). We got settled in just in time for sunset, took some pretty pictures from our lanai, and then went to the market down the street for groceries. We cooked a good dinner ...

... himself and many others that he was the son of Jupiter. He killed thousands of Christians who didn&#8217;t go along with his views. But according to Andre, he was still a good ruler for that time. Even after he was retired, rulers would come to Split and beg him to become emperor again. He told them, "Have you seen my cabbages?" This meant he was having way too much fun living a &#8220;simple life&#8221; with gardens and the ocean right in front of his door. <br ...

... an hour as they swam amongst the few boats. The sun has been shining all day and we have done absolutely nothing! After breakfast we walked down to the beach, which is just a short walk from where we have parked at the campsite. Then, we played a board game and had lunch, followed by going for a swim in the ocean and relaxing on the rocks. We are about to catch the ferry from our campsite into the small town of Trogir; we can ...

... to dump our bags on the ship before a little exploration around Split. Quite a pretty little town, had a little bit of a feel like Greece being a seaside town with plenty of alleyways with nooks and crannys. Wandering our way through we saw a couple of the markets, a few ruins and a statue which must have been important in some way (rub his toe).<br><br>We got onboard and said our hellos to everyone onboard. 28 people ..... 16 South Africans ... yes 16!! We were out numbered!! 6 ...

... interesting history as well as architecture. In the fourth century A.D. a palace was built for the Roman Emperor Diocletian right on the water and then later abandoned. In the seventh century locals fleeing Slavic invaders moved in and never left, creating a medieval town around the palace. <br><br>We parked and walked to the bustling waterfront where modern light structures provide ambiance for outdoor café&#8217;s. Directly ...

We are currently in our engine less train to take off to Zagreb. After a further 1 hour and 15 minutes wait in our engine less train the Slovenian train operators finally managed to locate and attach an engine to our carriages, to take us to Zagreb. Dino had previously been pondering what we could do in Zagreb for our couple of hour wait there. He needed not have bothered as all we had time for was to get ...

... with a fountain and wooden leafy canopy. The views of the mountains were beautiful. We then took the bus to Split for lunch. Split is another small, adorable city on the sea -very similar to Trogir. but slightly bigger. We had a nice lunch and walked through the market before the four-hour bus ride to Dubrovnik. Usually, such a length busride would be boring and sleep-inducing. This one was quite the opposite. Remember those ...

... m not sure if we're going to stay in Zagreb overnight or head over to Slovenia in the evening. I'll have to look up the train times in a bit. After sorting out our ongoing travel arrangements we went for a swim. After walking about a mile past the harbour and around the coast we found some cool rocks where we could leave things and go for a swim. The water ...
