Kastel 1700 Split

Pogoda nie zawsze dopisuje :( Prognozowane monsuny zwiastuja pogorszenie aury.
Jedziemy wiec w podroz po okolicy.
Pieknymi serpentynami dojezdzamy do Orebica. Tam zwiedzamy malowniczy cmentarz marynarzy / o ile mozna mowic w ten sposob o takim miejscu/, ogladamy domy i wsiadamy na prom.
Niestety, o tej porze roku prom niee doplywa juz do centrum miejscowosci Korcula, wiec robimy polgodzinny spacer piechota. Za to nagroda - wspanialy obiad w ...

... hotel, whereby you additionally get a memorable view of the Adriatic, which is different by the day. Adventurers and athletes with restless spirits, romantics and dreamers, hedonists and those who are always young in their spirit – will find their dream come true on the Aurum boat..

Well most of this morning was spent below deck in bed, trying as best to sleep my way through a dodgy tummy... and exposing myself to the swamp which probably did more harm than being updeck in the (extremely) fresh air!!
Convinced that it was the chicken last night that did me in... it was unfortunate that our chef prepared ...

... we went to the quieter side, only to find it was also a nudist beach down the end. Shane groaned about the view and I laughed at him groaning. We stayed at the other end of this part of the beach, but still were lucky enough to see a lot of middle aged Europeans bending over to find….well what, really, what –
pebbles? Why were they continuously bending over to look at the ground??
SPECIAL pebbles?! What, extra curvy, extra smooth, an unusual black one?!!? I
Brac, Croatia shanemilli

... and Italian), the weather is perfect, the scenery and history are fantastic, everyone speaks some English, and the water is beautifully clear and warm. Even at night, you can easily see 30 feet to the sea bottom.
Also, Croatia makes me laugh. Today we witnessed an old lady at the produce market (which had the best looking fruits and vegetables I've ever seen) chase a guy with her broom and then whack him with it repeatedly (he must have ...

... about 5 hours to Zagreb and then a quick train down to Split and we would arrive about 8 o'clock, check in and get some sleep. Simple right? Well actually it took us more like 7 hours to get to Zagreb in one of the most uncomfortable trains mankind has ever created and then we had to wait an hour in Zagreb before getting our train to Split at half 9 and doing a pretty late check in. Wrong again. Unfortunately while Zagreb abnd Split our close on a map there happen to ...

... time at a beach cafe and had many a conversations.  That night, we went out to eat again and I had a delicious plate of mussels for only $8.  Otherwise, we hit the nightlife again.  During the night, we ran into some lady American professional volleyball players.  They were in Croatia because the US doesn't have a professional tour.  One of them went to Mankato State for undergrad and couldn't believe I knew about the town of Mankato.  She was most ...

... it further down the coast. We jumped on the A1 toll road just west of Zadar after 2 hours of probably the most mind numbing stretch of coast road ever! We popped out at the very end and €15 later hit the Makarska Reviera south of Split. Here it changed for the better. We found a great campsite that seemed to be run by Czechs. We picked a mint site about 5m from the beachfront. Tall pine trees lined the beach and the green contrasted fantastically with the absolutely ...

... by two blokes that been a fairly good paddock, they asked for our tickets and we tried to tell them that the ticket machine would take our notes. they knew it was ******** and tried to fine us 6000 Hungarian. No thanks, we were not going to pay that, so they said we could pay 4000 and they would let us go. but still, we werent going to take that, we hadnt actually got on a train so we just told them to get stuffed and went back up the stairs. About 5 minutes latter we ...

... Croatia-Brasil match which had a fantastic atmosphere in Split - everyone decked out in red and white checks, red flares everywhere, croatians chanting the whole game, it was unfortunate that they didn't score and lost 0-1, but I got the feeling they were not too disappointed with the result. I'm glad I'll be back home for the Aus-Croatia match in a few weeks, think I would probably be lynched! They're pretty passionate and intense football supporters, the Croatians.
