Globo 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

... 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.<br><br>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 ...

... our room. We arrived at night so we pretty much just got ready and went to bed. We were only staying one night because we read that there wasn&#8217;t much to do in Split if the weather wasn&#8217;t too great (and it wasn&#8217;t- it was chilly and cloudy). <br><br>So the next morning we checked out and still had a few hours before our impromptu bus ride to Mostar, Bosnia. We spent that time exploring Diocletian&#8217;s Palace. Diocletian was a famous Roman ...

... about to watch our second sunset here-it truly is a highlight so far for us. Originally we were only going to stay one night and drive into Split today, but the beauty of having Fred means that is we like a place, we can stay longer :) Our third campsite in Croatia is by far the best; I had to really force myself away from doing nothing to write this! Although I have to admit that I have a million dollar view while writing it :)

... had a swim in the lake. Also caught the ferry to the isle of St Mary - had a monestry and other random stuff on there. <br><br>Korcula - The birthplace of Marco Polo also had heaps of alleyways, random shops, and yummy gelato shops (well everywhere in Croatia does). <br><br>Makarska - On the edge of the Biokovo mountain range so the mountains were almost to the sea. Great beaches where we played what we called Croatian beachball. Great markets and great pubs where we got to see the ...

... to find out about the boat cruise. But, i never ended up finding it. The day consisted of me just walking around Split and trying to get rid of my t-shirt tan I have already acquired. I am noticing that traveling from one place to another is taking a toll and I need to slow down. I think that is what Mostar will present to me.<br><br>That last night in Split. I grabbed a 1L bottle of Odzjusko and went up ...

... and tumultuous past with countless empires and countries conquering it over and over. It is no wonder there has been so much conflict as this place is quite the jewel to possess.  That evening we went out for a nice dinner to celebrate our little anniversary.  We had a fabulous meal at a place that caters to locals.  We even managed to get a couple rounds of grappa for free out of the server.  Maybe that is why Meg ended up spilling a half of a bottle of olive oil on me... It ...

... 4 euros), we rented beach chairs and umbrellas for the whole day. From 10am to 5pm the day pretty much went like this: swim, lay on beach chair to dry, read, eat from our packed picnic lunch and repeat. It was heaven. By the end of it, we were exhausted so we climbed again uphill to our hostel, got cleaned up and made our way to Fife's for dinner. At the restaurant, we met another girl who was staying in our hostel so we ate ...

Beautiful Hvar Island off the coast of Croatia has the most wonderful natural beauty and a really cosmopolitan nightlife. But it also has an extraordinary number of Australians on tour. Last night we were having a bite to eat, minding our own business, when a gent from Maitland, NSW, lets call him Bogan Justin, asked us to join him and a few American girls on the next ...
