Okrug Gornji / Bušinci

Today we had our adventure in the lovely city of Split in Croatia. We began our adventure with a fabulous 2 hour journey to Krka National Park, the perfect time for all of us to have a snoozet. Nicolina the tour guide was really good. We stopped off for a toilet stop “here you can do a toilet” at a service station which was rammed because all the coaches went there, also this is where mum realised she had the wrong currency therefore we had no food for the whole day until we got back to the cruise ship.

We got to Krka and had a 30 minute walk around, there was human traffic the whole way round until we got to the waterfall and kind of a beach where you can swim in the lake. It was very busy but we managed to find a spot where we climbed over a fence to get to lake, we had to then crawl through the mud and swim through the reeds then out into the lake under the maxing waterfall.

Lillian swam for about 20 minutes before she realised she was scared of the fish “They are sharks at heart”

We then had a boat ride along the lake to a lovely little town called Skradin, unfortunately not enough time to stop here as the coach was due to return. So back along the A1 motorway for an hour and a half.

So Croatia is famous for the neck tie, where he word cravat comes from apparently and every October 18th the have a celebration. All 4 Million of them. We were reminded a couple of times “we are famous for stopping football coming home” this is kind of backhanded complement I suppose.

Split also has a revelry with the capital Zargreb in Split they do evening thing slow “polago polago” (slowly slowly) ........ so people from Zargreb say they are lazy and slow, while the people from Split say that people from Zargreb are dirty and come to Split because it is by the sea and they need a bath.

Back the ship everyone was very hungry and tired we went straight for a buffet dinner in Island restaurant and then Lillian went of to kids club watched Paddington 2 apparently and the rest of us watched a comedian called Phil Melbourne (he was very good) then we watched the dances through the decades show, which was also very funny then all in bed for about 10 ishRead more
