Guesthouse Vrlic 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

... it was the perfect time to be sick. We just watched movies on his laptop, American shows on the TV with 2 channels (Friends, Xena Warrior Princess&#8230;), cooked, and played Chess on our mini travel set. Overall, it was nice to relax but I know I started feeling a little bored. <br><br>Saturday came around and the storm was clearing (only a little bit of rain and clouds that morning). We then hopped on a ferry to another island, called Korcula.

... it wasn't luxury, it was decent and we really enjoyed it. There was a couple from Switzerland who were in Croatia for windsurfing and we talked to them for a little while the following morning before we headed out.<br><br><br><br>Today has to have been the most relaxing day of the trip! We woke this morning and while we were having our breakfast, Matt spotted three dolphins swimming out in the water below us! We watched them for ...

... again. But you'd try to wade it out and just to be off the boat for a while.<br><br>Lunches were awesome. First day we got soup, just delicious, stupid thing was we thought that was it as it was a massive bowl plonked on the table. Rookie mistake, there was second course of pasta, then dessert. Most lunches were 2 if not 3 courses beginning with soup then a second course which during the week included calamari, fish and potatoes, snitzels, mousakka, other random yummy things. Dessert ...

... it and wouldn't let me check in and enjoy the surprise of a 4 star very nice hotel until the tour leader showed up. I spent two hours uploading and labeling my photos for the blog and the computer kicked me off and lost everything I did.<br><br>Anyhow, I am quite pleased that I am ending up without a roomate for the next 12 nights. Our guide loves this area of the world as it is her home and I believe this will be fascinating, educational, eye opening and a real treat.<br>

... approx 15 minutes the first lift braught me to the paying doll exit Split, where after 1 minute 3 cute swedish girls took me into the centre of Split.<br>After dropping my stuff in the locker of the train station, i started exploring it. The old-part of the town is nice, lots of tourists restaurants and selling shops. There´s a hill you can run up to have a great view over the city. I did that, but ...

... Much of this still survives in one format or another today and while strolling the streets and shopping for the latest fashions you have to step over or walk around temples and columns and other beautiful remnants of polished marble worn by eons of wear. The wealth of these ruins combined with middle ages defensive walls and even newer statues and other monuments all mixed together with snaking alleys and hidden plazas in a modern and tidy city is quite impressive ...

... iron gate to the hostel, talking to a couple from Paris who were just leaving. After giving me the business card of a reccommended apartment on Hvar, they wrote down their coordinates for me so that I might visit them in Paris sometime. It was the briefest encounter Ive had to date on my travels, but somehow one with tremendous connection. Elda was getting really hungry and kind of impatient by now, so I ran down the street to Konzum (good name for a ...

... de en ganske lukket gruppe, vanskelig aa komme inn paa. Bare aa innroemme det folkens, vi er nok slik de aller aller fleste av oss nordboere. Men saa er jo heller ikke jeg verdens mest utadvendte heller da. Det skal jo ogsaa vaere sagt. Har da saapass med selvinnsikt. Men min erfaring er at folk som reiser paa egenhaand er mye mer kontaktsoekende og inkluderende og dermed ogsaa lettere aa faa kontakt med. Kroatia er i aller hoyeste grad et charter land, saa kan dere jo ...

... and let the streets show you what they want to show you. This method usually means I get lost in the backstreets, but that is a good thing because I get to see these cities for what they really are and not just the tourist strip. Eventually I made it to the centre of the city in the tourist area and plonked down at the base of some of the best kept Roman ruins in the world: or so I'm told. There was this cool busker band playing that had four singing men with ...
