Split

We had a 6:30 breakfast in anticipation of our ferry shortly after 7:40.

The passenger ferry turned out to be cancelled however a car ferry made an unscheduled stop to pick up about 100 or so stranded people. We left Hvar port at 8:30 AM. 


The crossing from the island to the mainland was quite rolly at times,and we arrived in Split at 10:15


We were picked up by van taxis ( with one person in our group heading directly to the airport) and off we went to the industrial area of the city. The vans waited for us while we dropped off our bags into storage and then back to the Center and Diocletian Palace

Our local guide met us there and have a great tour of the palace. 




We then walked a short way to a restaurant where we had our last meal together. We gave our CEO (chief excitement officer) another round of applause and at this point most of us gave her our tip money for a job well done. 

While most people headed back to the hotel with Karolina, Caro and I (along with Patty from LA ) continued walking around the downtown and palace areas. 


We found the location of our Air Bnb for tomorrow and a further two nights. Located right in the middle of the palace it is beautifully located. 

We decided to walk back to the hotel. It took 35 minutes but we were chatting the whole time so it went fast.

The rest of the afternoon and evening was spent relaxing and then saying our good byes to many of our fellow GAdventure travellers. Kind of a sad time.
