Yesterday when I left Zadar the weather was overcast for the first time since I arrived in Croatia. Busses leave for Split every hour so I tracked down a laundromat on the way to the bus station, washed my clothes and started to get caught up on this blog. Even the laundromat had wifi. What's country!
There was tons of road construction on the way into Split so the trip took close to three hours.
Trip Advisor is gold. I stopped at a bar once I got into town and found a very unique guesthouse. Diocletian Palace was built in the third and fourth centuries and some of it still survives. It's the undisputed highlight of Split. There is a small guest house, just three rooms in one of the surviving sections. Actually it's in the most famous and well preserved part of the original entry to the palace. At the top of a three story spiral staircase, the room was modern and spacious. A/c and of course, wifi. I felt like a rock star walking out of it. People looked at me like I must be Diocletian's relative. Yeah it set me back €45 but Golden Gate Rooms was worth it.
Split itself is a unique place teeming with bars and cafes. And tourists. Charming as it is I've learned not to stay too long at any of these places unless I go on a proper excursion. So thev plan was to take a ferry from Split to the the island of Korcura the next day - today in fact! I'm all caught up!
