Sunday 9 October
The bus ride was from Dubrovnik to split was long, but the sights were amazing. Mountains and sea, islands, and fantastic cloud formations made the hours go by easily. The camera got a workout the whole way. It was a stunning strip of Croatia.

We arrived Split, a tout offered us accommodation, which we declined and then he helped us find our pre-booked accommodation, which was 10 meters away but tucked away down an alley we would have never found. Croatian hospitality once again.

We checked in and after a nap, discovered Jen had left her iPhone on the bus. Arg!

A trip to the bus station with little hope of ever seeing it again. To our great pleasure, they rang the driver of the bus who had found (or the cleaners) the phone and they sent via bus to Split the next morning. That was heart warming and we thought nice Karma as I found a phone in London and contacted the owners and arranged return. Good Karma and nice Croatian bus service.

We then booked a bus to Trogia. A little coastal town about an hour away. A few hours walking the polished marble streets there, lunch and we were done.

Walking all around Split to find a specific restuarant, and some miss communication between Jen and I, meant we walked for 30 minutes to find a place that was 20 meters from our hotel. Oops! But the place that was closing in 15 minutes (at 11pm) kept it's doors open and served up a nice meal and some potent grappa to finish.
