Split, Croatia

What we did:
- Morning workouts to sweat out the boat beers and then caught 10-11am ferry into Split.
- Walked through town to check into our hotel in the heart of a college campus, navigating through pods of 20yr old girls gunning cigarettes. It ended up being such a nice boutique hotel! We contemplated just spending the day in it
- We did venture out and grab some fresh salads for lunch and then walked for two - three hours around the harbor, oceanside parks and beaches. Steph relived memories of her and the Buda crew roadtripping over here junior year and cliff jumping into the ocean. This time around we read books on an ocean front bench for an hour… we’re still hip and fun we promise!
- Grabbed some big Croatian beers and Aperol Spritz’s (see we’re still hip and fun) at a harbour front cafe for a while and watched P Diddy’s massive yacht pull in (you can lease it from him for $400k a week). Good to finally see where all our summer paychecks spent on Ciroc ended up
- Jenna and Joe landed around 5 from their bus-train-plane trek from Lake Como so we showered and met them on their apartment rooftop for pre-dinner wine. Still can’t believe we happened to be in Split on the same day!
- Had an awesome time at dinner catching up on our four days apart and reliving the good times in Nice!
- The group debated calling it early given activities the next day, but psh life’s short and when are we going to be in Croatia together again. To another bar we went until midnight-ish for more big Croatian beers and you guessed it - Euchre. Steph and Trent finally got a win! Such a great itinerary surprise to see them again!

What we ate:
- Coffee and chocolate croissants on the ferry
- Salads at Restaurant “Feel Green Healthy Food” - could not be a more literal interpretation of the consumption our bodies needed at this point. Thank you Croatian-english
- Bokeria Kitchen and Wine for dinner. Couple bottles of wine, Bombolini and Burrata apps with melt off the bone lamb skewers and risotto dinner.

Fun facts:
- We saw many bars across Croatia with “fun” included in them as a very literal translation to nab tourists. Names such as “Charlies - Fun and BBQ pub”gave us a chuckle every time
- Our first lodging mix-up…we knew it would happen at some point during our 3 month trip (fingers crossed it’s the first and last time)! Had it booked for the wrong week, but luckily we were only staying one night and Trent was able to find a much better hotel for a cheaper price! Yay for same-day booking!
- This marks the end of our month on the Mediterranean and Adriatic coasts. Goodbye ocean, sun, Aperol spritz, and warm weather! Hello autumn, sweaters, red wine, and BIG beers!Read more
