... the Old Town to find Fresh Sheets hostel together.<br>Fresh sheets seems like a nice little hostel and Karmen that runs it was a really good host giving us shots of pear and walnut rajkia.<br>Walked around Old Town and had a really nice lunch at Lokanda down by the water. Mussels and fried squid were both amazing and super yumm!<br>Walked around the city walls which are way cool. Amazing how thick the ...

... old harbour.Fantastic fresh seafood risotto 50kn. Decent local house red was 70kn per litre. The evening would conclude at The Hard Jazz Cafe Troubadour. The pub singing was an error of judgement! Mornings were spent missing the only bus of the day to Montenegro at 10.30.am. I therefore missed the England U-21 international! I also missed the England-Israel ...

... is nothing like it! At one point in the day it reminded me of Aladdin as a street rat because of the varying heights of buildings, the small alleyways, and even those umbrella or shades that he would slide down. It wasn't dirty or anything, so don't get that idea! <br><br> Ania was super thirsty so we tried hurrying to get some water. I took tons and tons of pics so I really hope they turn out. After descending to the walls Ania finally learned that David and I had ...

... and future photos. As we pulled into the parking lot of the Restaurant we weren't too impressed. But we walked down the steps to get into the venue, we quickly changed our minds. It was absolutely beautiful! It was located beside a stream that included a waterfall. The best thing was it was beside Roman Aqueducts! Kenny and I were just thrilled - I ...

... went for a walk around the outside of the city walls, between the sea and the walls. What we found is that if you discover just the right place you can find a suntrap where there is no breeze. We found just such a place and despite the freezing conditions actually got quite warm for a half hour or so. Hunger got the better of us though so we had vowed to try the restaurant that Vladimir had recommended to us a ...

... I will remember most is swimming right outside the city walls - there is a collection of rocks (it's not even a real beach) and a ladder to lower yourself into the freezing cold Adriatic, just on the other side of the old harbor. You have a view of the city walls, Lokrum island, and of course a vast expanse of sparkling blue water. I sunned myself on a rock (it actually wasn't as uncomfortable as you'd think) and then joined Mitch in the water. Such a ...

Leave Split on Sunday May 27th for Dubrovnik which is about a 5 hour bus ride along the coast. You have to pass through Bosnia which is pretty much a nonevent where they check your passport etc... I sleep pretty much the entire way cause I cant read on the bus and we stop a couple of times on the way. We did not have hotel room in Dubrovnik but had heard that when you show up there will be people waiting to offer you a room...and there were a lot of them. As ...

... game were strictly enforced as they should be in accordance with school yard etiquette. They were very accommodating and slowly explained to her in slow, steady Croatian what she should do and how the game was played then she would promptly ignore it. It is always good for us to see her playing with other kids because often she is isolated and she takes such joy in it. One day was spent on an excursion by ferry to the town of Dubrovnik. This is a famous ...

... a class reunion nearly ten years ago. They were nice people and decided they were feeling adventurous enough to get off the boat with us in Dubrovnik in search of a traditional Croatian "sobe." Sobe are essentially rooms that people rent out of their private homes. Mike was adamant about not being the "typical American tourist" that tends to be loud and a bit naïve, so during our search, I thought it odd when he yelled back to a local woman who had just given us directions ...

... We stopped for lunch, sharing some sandwiches, and then climbed up an old fortress which afforded great views of the sea, other islands and more. Before catching a bus back to the ferry, we had our daily gelato. LJ was disappointed with her Nutella, but my cookie flavor was just fine. Just before we walked away, we realized, courtesy of three young children who were subsequent customers, that the client could opt to have his treat dipped in chocolate. We were most frustrated to ...
