Le Meridien Lav, Split Podstrana

... so a lot of people in Split would have gone back to their villages or home town for the weekend.<br>Also explains why the graves in Zagreb looked so good the day too.<br>Went to Gaga which the barman at the first bar said if any place would be busy, that place would be and it was dead.<br><br>Saturday walked around the market, got Burek for breakfast and then up a bunch of stairs to get a good look over Split. <br>Such a beautiful ...

We were really excited to finally get to a Croatian island. We took a ferry from Split to the island of Hvar. It's a really small island where pretty much the only thing to do there is go to the beach. We didn&#8217;t have a place to stay booked because we knew about the "sobes." They are apartments locals rent out to tourists for really good deals (especially in October when it&#8217;s on the border of shoulder season and off season). The second ...

... about to watch our second sunset here-it truly is a highlight so far for us. Originally we were only going to stay one night and drive into Split today, but the beauty of having Fred means that is we like a place, we can stay longer :) Our third campsite in Croatia is by far the best; I had to really force myself away from doing nothing to write this! Although I have to admit that I have a million dollar view while writing it :)

... 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 ...

... my lodging yet, I was really secretly glad when Savena came by to ask if I wanted lodging. I was banking on a horde of such enquires, just as I had encountered at Hvar and Split but I think at 1030pm, the crowd thinned. I managed to get a private room at 20 Euro which is actually a good deal (after some bargaining). Got to her place, washed up, did my laundry and went out for food at a pizza place just right outside her house and which she ...

... one of the rowdier seaside bars. One of the americans (who reminded me strangely of kermit the frog but without green skin) decided to wear a bizarre pale blue beret and I thought we might be in for another punch up, particularly as I was wearing a magnetic blue cycling top (it was the only thing I had left that was not either wet or very well worn), but we got home in the early hours unscathed... although a bit wet as it still had not stopped raining!

... just days befor from our agent that all was fine and who to contact in Split. So poor katie who made the booking spent a packet calling all the numbers for our agent to no avail these was no answers to anything ......... until an email the following week (a couple days after we were supposed to have left to have the time of our lives on a 1year old super yacht in the dalmation islands) told us the company had filed for insolvency due to some highly irregular ...

... a swim at our local beach for the week. You should be able to see a nice photo of it. Now for our really cool day today. We set off bright and early for the island of Braè and on the island, the most famous beach in all of Croatia- Zlatni Rat at Bol. We had to get the 9:00am ferry over there otherwise we would have missed the bus and they only run every two and a half hours. Upon arriving we went for a bit of a walk because we still had twenty ...

... visiting several parts of the Split coastline, I would disagree entirely with Goran's opinion. And having seen Bacvice, I now understand Goran's reservations about sand beaches, this particular one being fairly dour, the sand being more like mud. Far more beautiful were the beaches in the west of town: clear, warm water, pebbled unfortunately but calm and tranquil. Augmenting the credentials of these western beaches was their proximity to the Mestrovic ...

... Denmark for that matter... well me loved ones we're absolutely enjoying ourselves, people are friendly and the food is fantastic and very cheap (Olivia exchanged $40 Aus to 168.98kunar... Alex dived into the Adriatic ocean (beach) yesterday (brought a tear to his father's eyes)... Adrian has been very emotional lately, this is great 'cause it takes the pressure off me, however I usually have a good reason for it :) ... this morning Adrian and I wondered out early without the ...
