Saturday 23 September … Split

I think I would look stupid wearing my helmet without my bike … those cobblestones are sooo slippery when wet …

Great start for the day after a thunderstorm and rain … breakfast just around the corner at 8am. The walking tours are up and running as we watch a crowd pass.

It’s like airport tarmac activity here in the old town, little trolleys weaving through the small alleys with deliveries to shops, too narrow for cars.

A walk to the hospital to remove stitches, unfortunately I have to wait another day or 2 … not what I read on Dr Google for facial stitches …

Another downpour … a quick trip to Spar supermarket … how they transform these old buildings to have a great supermarket, bread rolls, cheese, prosciutto and tomato … added bonus … I love playing with the labelling machine at the supermarkets. Lunch in our room … my little scanpan knife is always first to pack.

The rain becomes more consistent, my WU weather app never fails. There is always at least I really rainy day, I’ve been follow this for days, therefore it was a no brainer, we stayed in Split today.

This is a great opportunity to do some mapping … it’s not wasted.

I reminisce … the rainy day in Mt Fuji it never cleared until 4pm … today was similar although it cleared about 6pm.

The rain cleared in time for the diners to get to restaurants. The live music in the square was uninterrupted, a lovely atmosphere.

A nice ending to our stay in Split, tomorrow it’s back to island hopping and a few good climbing days ahead.

  1. I mentioned your journey to a friend who manages a local Greek restaurant, he is Croation and once he’s saved enough, he will return to Croatia and open his own restaurant. When I told him of the hospitality you received in those smaller villages he actually teared up and showed me the goose bumps on his arm.
