Afternoon adventure in Split

Six of us got together for a hike up the hill overlooking Split and then stayed together for lunch while our boat went on to Trogir, our final stop. Dianne and me with Barb and Mike as well as Louise and Brenda made a plan to take the bus to Trogir after eating at as restaurant called Fig in the heart of old Split. We had been told it was possibly the best burger ever. My assessment is that it is certainly the best burger in Croatia, and possibly the world. It was perfectly cooked with bits of bacon and carmelized onion on top, pickle for crunch, and the fries were crispy, tastey and abundant. It was great. Mike and I had Gelatos on the way to the bus station.
The bus ride to Trogir is supposed to take around an hour and cost about 5 euros. An entrepreneurial taxi driver offered to take all six of us without delay to Trogir for 50 euros. Barb and I sat in the back of his relatively compact Volkswagen and we all got there in about 45 minutes. On the way he talked about his family, some history his grand daughter, Croatian wines and other things. It was a pleasant ride.Read more
