Split Once Again

My new place in Split is in a better location.  Easier to find and bigger.  Looking forward to the boat excursion to Blue Cave, Hvar, and other locations.  Maybe this time I will be able to go and it won’t be canceled due to the weather.  Found some new stores inside and outside the Palace.

Walk along the Riva

Then I got the text, excursion canceled due to high winds.  Well, I quickly made plans to go to Trogir on the bus.  It will be good.  I will get to know the bus system and see another location that was on my list.

Trogir was lovely.  I walked to the beach then saw the cathedral and the beach is really nice.  Chilly this morning so not swimming, but it is beautiful.  Went up the bell tower.  It is a very windy day today (good thing the boat excursion was cancelled).  It was scary as I felt like I might be blown away.  I made it up then down with a little shaky knees.  Visited the cathedral.   It was built in the 1200s. A very impressive cathedral with an old historical feel.

Made it back to the bus station with no problem. Bus not coming though.  Think it is late.  I got impatient and went to the other bus that said it was going to Split.  It did, but made more stops and I had to pay an extra 2 erous and it ended at city area about 15 minutes from my place.  It was ok, though, but I should have just waited for the other bus.

The excursion to Krka National Park the next morning was great.  Lots of people, but the guide made it nice.  He was funny and entertaining.  Met some great people from Ireland and the States.

Left the next morning at 6 in the morning for Zadar.  Early morning, but it was good because bus not that crowded.  Beautiful scenery along the way.  Sibineck looks like an interesting place to visit if I come back.  Lovely seaside town.  I slept most of the way and was a bit groggy upon reaching Zadar.
