(The sun has bleached my eyebrows so much it looks like i dont have any anymore! wheres that eyebrow tint when you need it...)
Cities like Split baffle me slightly...it’s not that I don’t think that a town shouldn’t modernise with the times but when they start putting pizza places and all night bars in to a former Roman emperor’s castle it feels slightly wrong.
Even so, Dolecian’s palace and the rest of the town of Split did manage to hold my interest; with its slippery cobbled streets, sweeping port-side boulevard (though the rotten egg smell was slightly off putting) and great bars.
Split is tourist central, though different from Dubrovnik in that the majority here are young boozy Australians and Brits ready to hop on their week long booze cruise.
We did have a great couple of nights out here, including one where a 40 something DJ entertained us for the night with his chain smoking and accordion/Russian-like house tunes. The absinthe here was also pretty toxic...
Croatia was definitely beautiful and it was nice to sit and relax but the water for a couple of weeks but I was pretty ready to head off to the rest of eastern Europe for some history lessons, great architecture and cheap, cheap prices!!
