Dujam Split

... day and the first day I've worn thongs since Bruges!!!!<br>Walked to the beach and waded in the water but too cold to go swimming.<br>Went to Fife for dinner which was recommended by Peter from the hostel and also the barman on Friday night as the best place in town to get good local food at local prices.<br>Had an awesome meal of Sarma (mince wrapped in cabbage leaves) and Fozol - bean and ham dish.<br><br>Sunday went to market ...

... 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 our 6+ hour bus ride from the Plitvice Lakes (man was I ready to be off that bus) we arrived in Split, a southern city right on the coast of Croatia. It has its share of resort-style promenades with palm trees on the water, historical sites, and regular neighborhoods for regular Croatians. We found our hostel, the BB Turtles Hostel (a 6-bed hostel room in the basement of some lady's house). It was a nice, comfy hostel with a couple Canadian girls and two Brits ...

... something quiet. This spot is exactly what we were hoping for! There are only about fifty people at the campsite, which means that it is private without us being the only ones at the campsite, which seems to have been the trend lately! We bargained with the lady at the desk and paid for the cheapest spot but were able to park in the most expensive with the best views&#8230;they are unbelievable. Sailboats are going past now and we ...

... to the winery but didn't even sample. We all went off board and had a couple of drinks on the beach before heading back onboard for a bbq.<br><br>Dubrovnik - Such a beautiful city. We wandered around the Old Town district which has a wall surrounding it. Climbing the wall you get to see the beautiful coastline on one side and the town on the inside. Filled with alleyways you can get lost in the maze of this gorgeous town.<br><br>Mljet - It is a national park. So we paid the entry fee ...

... city at night and walking down Riva St. Wow, what a site for shops, but nothing really to do except drink on the pier. <br><br>Next day, I continued my adventures around this city. I think this is where Sasha would have been a lot of help because she would know where to go and what to do. I just walked around and checked out the pebble beach, which didn't impress me. I was trying to find the Hostel ...

... on the steps of the restaurant on the pillows. The restaurant is just to the the right of this picture. A little futher up is this view The gate wall of the palace, they have made little appartments in the wall, so people live there Cute shutters in ...

A funny little addendum to the last post re: Bogans Brendan and Justin in Hvar. Ran into them at the beach today. Brendan says hello, and we return the greeting. Then he says: So, where are you girls from? We answer - the same place we were from when we had a drink the other night. You could perfectly see the little cogs clicking over in his brain. Tee hee!
