Hotel Bellevue Split

... and making sure we had everything we needed.<br><br>Just went and had a short walk around and baked trout dinner at Serum which was a cool little place like being in someones living room. <br>Went to a couple of bars afterwards and found out why it was so quiet in Split - Sunday is the "day of the dead" (the way the barman in the first bar explained it to me) which is the day of the year that everyone visits the graves of their ...

... English, all at once, telling us either &#8220;1 minute walking&#8221; or &#8220;city center&#8221; or &#8220;50 meter to beach&#8221; or &#8220;nice room&#8221; or &#8220;come see room&#8221; in broken English. We finally settled on the guy who spoke the most English and promised us the lowest price. Of course, when he took us to his apartment so we could check it out, he had &#8220;forgotten&#8221; his low price at the dock and Andre had to ...

... himself and many others that he was the son of Jupiter. He killed thousands of Christians who didn&#8217;t go along with his views. But according to Andre, he was still a good ruler for that time. Even after he was retired, rulers would come to Split and beg him to become emperor again. He told them, "Have you seen my cabbages?" This meant he was having way too much fun living a &#8220;simple life&#8221; with gardens and the ocean right in front of his door. <br ...

... an hour as they swam amongst the few boats. The sun has been shining all day and we have done absolutely nothing! After breakfast we walked down to the beach, which is just a short walk from where we have parked at the campsite. Then, we played a board game and had lunch, followed by going for a swim in the ocean and relaxing on the rocks. We are about to catch the ferry from our campsite into the small town of Trogir; we can ...

... 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 ...

... restored my faith in peaches again, having had the bad worm experience and then one with questionable texture followed by one that was definitely bad; and I&#8217;m not becoming a connoisseur, even Gabe who will eat just about anything agreed on the ones that were bad. We&#8217;ve been lounging around ever since, reading, watching ESPN and downloading photos. What a great lazy day. Maybe we&#8217;ll leave the room for dinner, maybe.

... This restaurantier once had tables and chairs our for customers, but the city forbade him to have the chairs and tables - making a clear suggestion for him to move his business elsewere. But he was innovative, he replaced the tables and chairs ...

... before in Dubrovnik. Well, we finally found it, and they had no rooms but they made a phone call and 5 minuts later a friend of theirs came round to show us to their guesthouse, and it's beautiful. In fact, it's the most posh place we've stayed in yet, plus there are DVD players and Cable TV. Not that i'll use them, but you know.. Split seems really cool, it has an old city ...
