Split Apartments

... 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

... with him quite a bit to get him back to the price we thought we were getting. In the end, it worked out and we had a 3-bedroom apartment with a really beautiful view all to ourselves for 480 Kuna altogether (that&#8217;s only $16 each a night which is really cheap in Europe). We got settled in just in time for sunset, took some pretty pictures from our lanai, and then went to the market down the street for groceries. We cooked a good dinner ...

... an hour as they swam amongst the few boats. The sun has been shining all day and we have done absolutely nothing! After breakfast we walked down to the beach, which is just a short walk from where we have parked at the campsite. Then, we played a board game and had lunch, followed by going for a swim in the ocean and relaxing on the rocks. We are about to catch the ferry from our campsite into the small town of Trogir; we can ...

... either a piece of fruit but some days we had chocolate mousse or some other yummy treat.<br><br>After lunch it would be more of the same boat life. Until reaching port for the evening. We would arrive sometime in the afternoon. Enough time to explore the town before the sun went down and take a couple of photos. Here is the order of the towns that we went to.<br><br>Hvar - already told you about htat<br><br>Trstenik - Very isolated village which didn't really have much to offer. We ...

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

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 :-)<br><br>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 ...

... fact that a) we were soaked to the bone and cold, b)the mist was so heavy you couldnt see some of the falls, and c) the rock pathways were dangerously slippery. I heard my mothers voice in my ear as I tumbled down some stone steps leading to a cave, re-injuring my almost-healed ankle. No, I wasnt wearing my brace, like an idiot. We stuck it out for 3 hours of the 6-hour hike and then decided wed had enough (we still lasted ...

... 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 ...

... In the end we climbed the steep bell tower steps at a good pace just to get away from him. Personally after having seen the wonderful view over Dubrovnik, I was looking forward to seeing what Split ...

... which was in the French sector). The East German government boarded up the windows on the buildings - starting with the first floor and moving up - but when that failed, they destroyed all the buildings. Now one side of the street is lined with apartment buildings, while the other side is empty.
