Marmont 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 ...

Due to the weather conditions, no-one went swimming in the morning and we arrived in Hvar a couple of hours earlier than planned. We had unexpectedly arrived on the eve of a national/island holiday (St Stephens martyr day) and some festivities were planned for the evening. The town is ...

... little number on my neck again but I lay down later and got rid of that. Blerg.

We were dropped off and went to find our accommodation. Turned out to be a living set up with alot of rooms, but still with a homely feel to it. It was up a little hill but had a lovely courtyard with grape laden vines, a vegetable and herb garden, and a scatty cat finding jumping bugs.

It was hot and sunny so we wandered round town looking at every tall guy with a dark haired
woman ...

... folks out enjoying the evening. We also got to see a beautifully lit up palace as the sunset on the other side of the harbor.

Going to rest up and head out in a bit for a drink. Croatia is famous for its plum brandy! Can't drink too much, however, we need to get up early to buy that ferry ticket to Hvar!!

PS -- the title of this entry is "Splitska Banka" just because we love the name of that bank which is headquartered here in Split!

How sad, here we are, going by bus along the Dalmatian Coast which is reputed to be really magnificent and all we can see is RAIN! :-( Might as well sleep :-)

When we got to Split Annie had planned where we would stay. We walked in the pelting rain and dark but, what Annie had not planned was that there were no rooms at the inn. Thankfully the innkeeper sent us around the corner to a delightful hotel right in the Old City Palace area and they ...

... white short shorts and flowered ballerina flats sported by one middle-aged woman. There were various open-toed espadrilles with very muddy toes peeking out from them. Blah. But I digress. The heavy mist through the hills and valleys of the park added an element to the surroundings that almost felt prehistoric in nature. We felt bad for all the poor people who had to see the park on a nice, dry sunny, warm day! Poor them! Ha ha ...

... was hot and I didn't have walking shoes on. A short while later (10 mins) after leaving our hostel I mentioned that I wasn't really interested in the view. Dee whole heartedly agreed with me and we headed back to the apartment, got our swimming stuff together and went to the beach where we had a drink at yesterday evening. This was a much better idea. The water was beautiful. A while later, Jess and Shona ...

... of her late husband's handkerchiefs.] After a great night's sleep, we started our Tuesday off feeling very refreshed. After breakfast, we made a quick stop at an internet café and continued on to the Reichstag, the German capital building. We had planned to go to the top of the dome, but there was a very long line. While we were lamenting the wait and discussing our options, a tour guide overheard our discussion and told us that the wait was an hour. He then told us there was still ...
