Dalmina Hotel Split

Pogoda nie zawsze dopisuje :( Prognozowane monsuny zwiastuja pogorszenie aury.
Jedziemy wiec w podroz po okolicy.
Pieknymi serpentynami dojezdzamy do Orebica. Tam zwiedzamy malowniczy cmentarz marynarzy / o ile mozna mowic w ten sposob o takim miejscu/, ogladamy domy i wsiadamy na prom.
Niestety, o tej porze roku prom niee doplywa juz do centrum miejscowosci Korcula, wiec robimy polgodzinny spacer piechota. Za to nagroda - wspanialy obiad w ...

Riwiera Makarska to naszym zdaniem, najpiekniejsze wybrzeze Chorwacji.
Oczywiscie, jesli lubicie na rowni gory i morze!!

Tak wiec podziwiamy, przejazdem, Makarska. Smaczny obiadek , pare zdjec w pieknych zakatkach i.... dalej!..w droge do ...
do..no wlasnie :)w nieznane - kierunek Ston..

Well most of this morning was spent below deck in bed, trying as best to sleep my way through a dodgy tummy... and exposing myself to the swamp which probably did more harm than being updeck in the (extremely) fresh air!!
Convinced that it was the chicken last night that did me in... it was unfortunate that our chef prepared ...

... the local restaurant. I had Karlovacke pivo (local beer) and domacka kelbasica (the home made sausage). Mmmm yumminess! We did some Croatian goodies from the supermarket - it took us a whiletofind an opened one,since it was Sunday.Afterwards,stuffed and happy, we took a tender back to the ship.

We hopped on a
ferry to the nearest island from Split, Brac. Not wanting to wait for the 4pm
ferry that went direct to the town of Bol where we were to meet friends, we
took one of the more frequent ones to Supetar which was right opposite Split,
and then a minivan guy found us, filled the car up with other travellers and we
were off to Bol.We were to meet my old boss Greg, and his wife Rimma. We had stayed with Greg at his apartmentin Moscow ...

... seen (and succesfully eaten). It was literally one quarter of a whole pizza. But it was good! What I had seen so far was pretty much all that Split has to offer to tourists in terms of sightseeing. Its main attraction lies in a relatively long coastline, and sandy beaches just beyond the port, which is where tourists staying for more than one or two days spend most of their time. I already had my terrible tan, and this city was way too hot for me. The sun beats ...

... carnival rides, and live music. It's a party and I found it even though I was not invited!! Just kidding about the invite. I listened to the band for a bit, watched the crowd dance. I love watching people, did I mention that before? After a bit I decided to keep walking and explore this very large park further. |I must have walked 5-6 miles, but although it was hot, there was a lot of shade so it was quite enjoyable. I completed my loop and returned ...

... It had these huge wooden doors that depicted the life of Christ. They are one of the best preserved specimens of wood carving from the middle ages. The church also had beautiful golden mosaics. Attached to the church is a bell tower that offers one of the best views in the city. Pam and Carl didn't want to climb to the top, so Dan and I went alone. The stairs at first were old, steep, slippery, marble stairs arranged in a ...

... had by all. When we arrived in Split it turned out we couldn't get the ferry to Korcula (Yes Dave a real Fairy) until 5pm so we booked our bags at the bus station and went exploring Split. Who would have thought Croatia was so great. It's like I was expecting Rome to be. The old city is encolsed by roman walls from 3 AD and any new buildings are kept within the old style. The city is clean and the ruins are in ...
