Shaun and Carolyn do Europe!
Well, the photo is still of Greece.
We are in the amazing city of Split. I cant believe how beautiful it is. All the better for being lovely and sunny. We have been to the sandy beach today and had a paddle in one of the clearest seas I have ever seen.
It took us 5 and a half hours on a bus to get to Split from Zagreb which flew over, 5 and a half hours is not a bad travelling time for us now. I think the 200 miles up and down from Darlo to Birmingham put us in good stead for travelling.
We got here two nights ago and followed a lady to her apartment as it was only 25 quid a night. However, it was quite cramped and the bed was quite small and there were loads of photos of her and her soldier husband as well lots and lots of pictures of Jesus and the mother Mary.
So, we did one after that and we are now in a fantatsic apartment with own lounge, bathroom and terrace.
Couldnt belive it though when the lady in the place before knocked on the door at 9 in the morning asking us to leave as she had another tourist, especially as we had agreed on us leaving at 10am.
So, we have been chilling the last few days, staying at the apartment till tomorrow as Sundays arent a great day to land somewhere when everything is shut and there is no access to free maps.
Anyway, getting a ferry to Island of Brac tomorrow, then to Hvar and then to Dubrovinich (dont think I have spelt that right though). THen we we will be getting the ferry to Italy.
A decision has also been made the we are going to buy a tent and finish off where we started in Amsterdam. There is a campsite about 2 miles from the city so we are going to spend about a week there. So, if anyone wants to join us we will be in Amsterdam from 24 June for over a week until we get some cheap flights back to Newcastle.
