Hotel As Split

Split photos here:<br> http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=1 59738&amp;id=613699523&amp;l=b42d256b69 <br><br><br>Caught bus from Plitvice Jezera to Split and got in about 7pm. 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 ...

... were stepping off the ferry, hoards of people were shouting to us, &#8220;Do you need accommodation?!&#8221; It was all the locals who have sobes. They all wait at the ferry dock to &#8220;attack&#8221; tourists when they are walking off the plank. We then had to choose between three different people who had gotten to us, all trying to convince us to rent their place simultaneously. It&#8217;s really hard to listen to three Croatians who barely ...

... gift/souvenir shops and even a bank, a tourist information office, and some clothing stores. All of that definitely takes away from what you&#8217;re supposed to be experiencing. We still got to see original palace walls, windows, a church built in the interior, an original Sphinx Diocletian brought to Split from Egypt (he brought about 16 of them but only a couple remain), the original gateway, a room that used to hold god sculptures, etc. Diocletian ...

... 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 ...

... an average of 10hrs a day) mixed in with book reading, listening to my iPod, and playing various card games. Favourite on deck was Sh*thead (also known as Fish T*ts), warloads/presidents and poker. Constantly if not always you had a drink in hand - common choice was beer.<br><br>By about mid-morning we would come to our swim stop. Most times it was early morning and it was fricken cold!! The sun hadn't quite warmed you up and by the time you jumped in, you were more than happy to get ...

... I read my kindle again and took frequent swims. The heat had not cooled off when we heard a crack of thunder and looked up surprised to see storm clouds in the distance. With zero breeze I wasn&#8217;t even sure they would come our way, but after a few more cracks the sun had been blotted out and we decided we&#8217;d had enough anyway. <br><br> <br><br>We came up to the room and had lunch. I had the most delicious peach ...

Our first stop of the cruise was Split in Croatia, the outer city is not very pretty - but the old city is. This is the Split city sign. This is a cute restaurant, withtin the palace walls. This is a courtyard which is surrounded by columns and ancient ...

... our room to a small apartment for the same price.  We quickly snapped it up and didn't hesitate to take advantage of the kitchen while we were there.   Our first day in Split was spent winding our way through the confusing Venice-like streets finding museums, galleries, and artsy shops around almost every corner.  We also made it out of the old town to explore the waterfront and found a couple of small stone beaches with barely a soul sunning themselves (26 degrees and no one ...

This will be a short entry because it was a short stay and we didn't do much! We arrived in Split via the worst bus ride ever- 3 hours without bathroom, breaks or air conditioning/open windows. The sweat literally was dripping off of us. Hungry, hot and tired, we donned our backpacks and began the search for our hostel. Two things made this difficult: the entire town is up hill from the bus/train/ferry station (think San Fransisco) and ...

... by border police because we went into Bosnia then back into Croatia. Safe to say I came off the bus smelling like my GCSE maths teacher, anyway.. ..as soon as we got off the bus people were surrounding us asking us if we needed rooms, they do that to everyone here, 99.9% offer exactly what they say but we turned them all down as Chloe had sorted us out directions to a hostel the ...
