    18 Temmuz 2024, Hırvatistan ⋅ ☀️ 90 °F

    We had to set an alarm and pack up from our favorite Airbnb this morning. We made it out by 10 though and got to spend another 90 minutes at our beach.
    More SUP, snorkeling (Gideon found €10 at the bottom yesterday!) and swimming out past the buoys before we went back to change and our host offered to drive us to the ferry. Korčula (korch-u-la) was beautiful and we are already making mental plans to return which is rare for us. The ferry was hot and made only one stop but it was at a popular island and it became very crowded for the last hour of the 2.5hr trip but fortunately, no sea sickness. We finally made it to Split . According to our previous GoT guide, Split was simply a port city that allowed access to the other islands using the ferry until Game of Thrones came here and made it famous. It was a pretty busy city today. We found a bus that took us right to our apartment and took a break and enjoyed the air conditioning. We are still Americans. After some FaceTime to wish happy birthday to our mothers, we changed and headed out for some dinner in the town center. We found an amazing seafood restaurant and spoiled ourselves with ceviche, tuna, and amberjack... all very delicious. Then we walked the main drag toward the bay (after gelato, of course) and around the center of town (magnet shopping, our go-to souvenir) before catching another bus back home at 2100. We made it home and hit the market across the street for breakfast food and snacks with only 6 minutes to go before closing. It was like being in a game show. Back home to shower the salt and sweat off before bed. Up early for a speedboat tour to one more tiny island and snorkeling. 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are a nice bonus in Split.Okumaya devam et
