Splendid Split

Had a casual start to the day with A making coffee in our hotel room since we had the luxury of a kettle! A pleasant 10 minute walk to get the car from the charging station. Upon our return to the hotel we enjoyed the included plated breakfast in the restaurant. The server was very friendly and efficient despite being very busy. Just a few last minute checks and rearrangements with our luggage, and we were off to the airport ✈️

We squeezed in a stop first to drop off our recycling at the depot. The short commute to the airport and return of the rental car went smoothly. And without any hiccups in the terminal, we were on our way to Split, Croatia.

We arrived mid-afternoon, and the warm mid-20Cs air was a fabulous change from the cool days of Scotland. We took an Uber into the city center. The young driver was quiet friendly, and excited about life. He regaled us with his future plans and career prospects working at navigating large ocean vessels. We arrived at the accommodation apartment, greeted by A's Dad! He is joining us for the next stages of our adventures 🎉😁

The building was very utilitarian, probably built in the Soviet era, using steel doors and industrial-like steel enclosed closet elevators. We took a few moments to chill down, and then started to repack our belongings in preparation for the motorcycle tour. Before it got too late we headed out into the neighbourhood. Both A and J lucked out with a haircut at 7pm, as it had been quiet a while. Looking much more polished, we went searching for a restaurant.

The restaurant, Konoba Kod Joze, was excellent! The evening air was warm as we sat outside on the covered area. We thoroughly enjoyed our seafood choices 😋Read more
