Split, Croatia
We arrived today in Split at 11 am local time (after a rather confusing one day time change - so annoying)! The seas are calm, the sun is bright (and hot) and the town is small and quaint.
Croatia is not on the Euro, so we didn't do much shopping today. In fact after we split off from group (sorry about that) we wandered around the old town and took ...

We had a really nice coffee in town, then rented a couple of scooters and set out for the day exploring the island of Hvar. First stop was the castle that overlooks Hvar town. An awesome spot for a photo. We headed off across the island through terraced fields of olives, grapes, lavender and wild rosemary. Was incredibly beautiful. We passed through villages and past old stone ...
