Ivan Hotel Sibenik

... 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 ...

... After the palace, we went to a European clothing store called Zara (they are everywhere in Europe- sort of a slightly upscale H&amp;M). We bought winter coats for Mostar, which was supposed to be really cold. We would be coming back to Split a couple days later because it was our connection point to the Croatian islands we wanted to visit so we knew if we kept the tags on we could just return the coats (mwahaha). After that, we hopped a 4 ½ hour bus to Mostar, Bosnia.

... 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 ...

... say that the daily routine of Croatia was repetitive yet simple. Wake up at 8am for breakfast ... this was quite easy as our cabin was next to the kitchen. I made it to every breakfast, Benny made one. Breakfast on the first day was amazing - omlette of bacon and cheese with bread. The bar was set very high. Unfortunately this was never met again, as future breakfasts were bread with spread, various meats, "juice" and tea/coffee. <br><br>This was followed by sunbaking on the deck (I'd ...

... so we could follow him to save getting lost, he arrived and we made our way to the second garage which they had called already. When we got there it was down a back street and a quarter of the size of the previous garage - the mechanic took one look shook his head, and despite the language barrier we knew straight away there was no chance. So to sum up we were now left in the middle of Split with no idea where we were after the taxi driver had left leaving us ...

... boat passed a canyon and dropped us off at a landing. Just 100 meters later, we have arrived! The focal point of the the Krka National Park is the Skradinski Buk, a series of waterfalls that cascade down many pools. The travertine limestone gets dissolved and redeposited in the process, creating biolithic formations that look like white strands of hair on a Japanese ...

... It was a bit too morbid for us. Just as the cloying scent of alcohol will forever be associated in our "smell memory" with taking the night train into Russia, the smell of tobacco will always be associated with BiH. We noted that many people chain-smoke here, not just with drinks or after dinner, but all the time. You may have read about (or experienced) the calming effect that tobacco has on people in war. But it wasn't until we went to the Historical Museum in Sarajevo to ...

... Night Bravery. Next destination - Pag island, famous mostly for it's cheese - Paski sir - and its lace (but the cheese tastes better). The reason was the anticipated Pag carnival with some folk dancing on the streets, live music and shows. Well, the Lonely lied about the carnival. Or at least about it's exact date. So the best thing in Pag was the camping, or, more precisely its naturist section. Yes, it is what you ...

... and eating seafood and the most amazing steak with gorgonzola I have ever had. We went to a beach for the day, which had clear turquoise water which was warm in places, and also took a boat to Bol on the island of Brac, which was not quite as nice as Hvar, but does have a very long beach sticking out from the coast. However it poured with rain while we were in Bol, so we sat in a Cafe for a couple of hours. When we finally explored the ...
