.......travelling around Croatia in winter is like licking an ice block with its wrapper still on, you get the general feel for it but the flavour is completely lost on you.
And so it has been for our time in Dubrovnik and Split. Both beautiful old towns, old stone paths, walls, palaces and all that jazz. Beautiful to look at but we encountered some snags. On our self guided walking tour of Split that should have taken two hours was reduced to twenty minutes as Diocletians mausoleum and the temple to Jupiter were closed for repairs. This would be where all the meaty artefacts and friezes would have been, but I can't complain, I got a lung full of workers dust as comphensation.
While the weather might have been crap it left ample oppurtunity for the people of Croatia to shine, and shine they did. The owners of the places we stayed at were beautiful to us, having coffee waiting for us the moment we woke up, or not letting us leave the house without our jumpers on. Its all very paternal here.
So tonight we are starting the ardious journey that is Split to London. A six hour bus to Zagreb, wait for 5 hours for our plane to Budapest, then wait for six hours for our plane to London. As you can see we opted for the most efficient route, not wanting to waste any time. I could learn a useless skill in all that time, maybe communicating telepathically with mice........
