Trogir, Split
The morning of the 7th felt just like Seattle. We all got up and went to load the bus and it was pouring rain the entire time. It had been raining off and on the entire trip, and I was starting to get worried that we wouldn’t ever get the weather that everyone raves about here, but by the time we got to the viewpoint over the river Krkra it was sunny and hot and has stayed that way ever since.
The hotel we’re in isn’t great, but we have a decent view.
Everyone immediately hit the beach, and then went to dinner around 7:00pm or so. Unfortunately the food at this particular hotel seems to be stuck in an eternal commemoration of Tito’s last meal. In the evening most of us headed to the promenade to relax a bit, and I took the opportunity to take a few pictures before heading to bed.
One of the things I’m really liking on these coastal towns are the promenades, the long walkways along the water. They just go on and one in every direction, with restaurants, bar and shops on the side. You just find a place you like and sit down right there on the beach.
On the 8th we had a city tour of Trogir, followed by a short bus drive to Croatia’s second largest city, Split, and a tour of Diocletian’s palace. We stayed in Split for lunch and got back this afternoon with plenty of time for a nap, followed by a quick shower before we skip out on this hotel’s “dinner” and have an adult’s night out in Trogir.
