Split, Croatia

Im in Split right now, an amazing city right on the Adriatic Sea.

Paige and I flew from Stuttgart on Thursday to Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. Slight delay for a new tire, which luckily was in stock. Slept the whole flight to stock up for exploring the city. A pretty cool city that is often just a stopping off place for the coast. Graet cathedral, amazing food (the meat platter was huge, which way too many types of meat for one person). Then we watched the Spain vs. Russia game which Spain won and headed off to the train station to go to Split. We did what my guidebook recommended for 2 days in 6 hours. Thats how we roll.

The overnight train was delayed as well due to mechanical problems, unknown to us in Croatian. Lots of men hopping into the car, underneath it and walking around. Hot as hell in the cars, wtih no ac, and no lights on until we left. We had a whole coachette to ourselves which was nice to spread out.

We woke up going through the mountains, and then arriving at the sea in Split. After exploring the palace, temples and bell tower, plus finding an amazing statue, we checked into out hostel at 12pm, now its time for the beach.
