I arrived in Split in the early hours of the morning and was able to see this beautiful town wake up. The town is on the Adriatic Sea and is a holiday place for many Europeans. The streets are made of marble in the old town, it’s also surrounded by a wall (again) and has many old buildings. The town actually reminded me of a Moroccan town as the streets were narrow and devoid of traffic and the amount of times I got lost or ended up coming around in circles astounded me. The highlight of my time here definitely was the food. We ended up eating at an amazing café called Fife which served up portions of BBQ seafood, squid risotto and calamari, topped off with some Croatian beer. This is the country where I was first introduced to the 2L bottle of beer in a plastic coke-style container. Classy I here you say but when you only pay $2-3 aussie dollars for it then on a backpacker budget how can you say no!
Europeans have a weird idea of what a beach is. The beach in Split is basically a tiny bit of sand in which everyone tries to cram onto and then numerous concrete boardwalks surrounded by many bars/restaurants which try to put as many deck chairs as possible out in the hope that you will sit in one and pay a stupid amount of money. After split I headed up to Bosnia…..
