Split, Croatia
So I'm here in Split with a slight sunburn and a rocking tan. There is a HUGE roman place still standing and some people even still live in it! It's crazy.
We showed up in town at 4am and we sat there until a baba came by and offered us a room at her house. It's about 13 euro a night or 100kn (their money). We knew in advance that this was the standard price for staying at a granny's house and we held out until we got the price we were expecting. We are staying three nights and then Sat. morning we'll take a ferry boat down to Dubrovnik, Croatia.
Our first day was spent looking at museums, bones in gold boxes, and other old stuff. Unlike the description that I just gave it, it was actually a great day. Then today we sat on the beach and got some sunshine. The beach was either rocks, concrete path, or dirt. We chose dirt and tomorrow we'll do the small pebble rocks. I'm hoping the beaches are betting in Dubrovnik. The water on the other hand was amazing. So clear and blue. We were swimming in the Adriatic sea. That's the sea that touches Croatia :-) The sea is salty like the ocean but w/o the rough waves. We floated and then tanned. The heat is intense here and it's 100 degrees. I burned slightly but not too bad.
My biggest complaint is that the beach is NOT topless like I was expecting!
