Spaleto Split

... beach again as it was such a nice day.<br>Walked to Marjan Forest Park and hired bikes and rode around park. Some pretty steep hills but awesome views from the top of the park and heaps fun going back down.<br>Went back to Fife for dinner since it was so awesome and so cheap and had tripe and roast veal.<br>Fife is some of the best and best value food I've had in ages. Especially compared to most of the other touristy places in Split

... it was the perfect time to be sick. We just watched movies on his laptop, American shows on the TV with 2 channels (Friends, Xena Warrior Princess&#8230;), cooked, and played Chess on our mini travel set. Overall, it was nice to relax but I know I started feeling a little bored. <br><br>Saturday came around and the storm was clearing (only a little bit of rain and clouds that morning). We then hopped on a ferry to another island, called Korcula.

After we left the park, the drive down to where we are now was spectacular, although a bit different than I pictured Croatia to be-it is a lot rockier and a bit more like what we thought Greece would be like. Our second campsite was just before the town of Zadar in a town called Nin; we pulled in and this funny little man came up to us-there was no way we could say no to his smiling face even if the campsite was horrible! Luckily ...

... an average of 10hrs a day) mixed in with book reading, listening to my iPod, and playing various card games. Favourite on deck was Sh*thead (also known as Fish T*ts), warloads/presidents and poker. Constantly if not always you had a drink in hand - common choice was beer.<br><br>By about mid-morning we would come to our swim stop. Most times it was early morning and it was fricken cold!! The sun hadn't quite warmed you up and by the time you jumped in, you were more than happy to get ...

... no bus ride for us!<br><br>young girl had already gotten sick from the short ride over to Bol, hopefully this was not going to be too rough a ride! The catamaran was actually quite smooth for the first half of the journey, but once we lost the shelter of the islands, it got a bit rocky. It was only rocky for a short while and once again smoothed out. The poor girl got sick one more time before we arrived in Split. <br ...

... br>Day before yesterday we planted cabbages (kupus) but sure they were too close and we certainly got lots of advice from Baba!!!!!!!<br>No water after that so we stayed smelly !!<br>Then no power but that came back on!!<br>Roisa managed to cook lunch as well / think she passed muster!!<br>visited baba.s cousin as well.<br>Now in Split we will go to Rosa.s aunt on Dad.s side and ...

... as we got off the bus we were accosted by a enthusiastic woman who really wanted us to stay at her Pension. Everything was 'no problem' and the location was so good that we decided to take her up on the offer. It was my first experience of having someone approach us for accommodation which I found quite overwhelming. Ian assured us that if we didn't like it, we didn't have to stay there no matter how much pressure she ...

... where wonderful vaulted ceilings now house souvenir shops. The original central courtyard of the palace is still there, with Corinthian columns and archways now used as a concert space for music and especially opera. Outside the north gate was a huge statue of Gregorius of Nin who had fought to have the Mass said in Croatian. Close to the western side of the palace a whole network of buildings has grown over the centuries. There was a fabulous Town Hall built ...

... where we were staying, and greeted by a nice lady, who obviously owned the house. Only about 2000 people live in Supetar, and there arent too many tourists, mainly Croatian tourists, so its quite nice. It was about 30 degrees at 11am, which is insane. Last night we went to a restaurant, I had a huge Pizza, fries, Chocolate pancakes, and a beer, all for about $18, which is thought was a good deal. Ane ...

... and warranted a good deal of time. I'll say this for the Germans today: they are very upfront about the abominable hatred that had existed in the country for so many centuries. The design of the museum was full of symbolism, and was created by the fellow tapped to design NYC's 9/11 memorial.] On Tuesday we went to dinner again with Inge, but this time we went to a German restaurant. I thought it was just ok, but I did get to eat white asparagus which I love and is in season ...
