We've ferried our way back to Split where we'll spend the rest of the week. We got in last night and are SO stoked to have a room with air conditioning! It has been just roasting hot here and nowhere seems to have A/C. We got a great deal on this place as it has rocking A/C and it has a very nice bathroom with a shower even drains! More than anything, we're stoked to have the A/C (can you tell?).
We went out for a solid, true Italian dinner last night and then went exploring around the palace for a cool bar to chill at. (The old palace walls now just house tons on shops, restaurants, cafes, and bars. It's very easy to get lost in all of the small walkways.) We found this really cool place called Cafe Gaga. It was open air (like most around here) with low, cusion seating around this little courtyard, with cool tunes and some lovely ladies. We didn't stay there long because we need a down night after 2 weeks of solid, non-stop boozing(I must be feeling my old age), but we were stoked to have found a really cool place to get back to and look forward to searching out the other cool spots in the palace. It's a really cool atmosphere to be sitting around drinking in an outdoor bar while obviously inside a legit palace.
Today, we rented bikes and took off to the southern point of Split. Again, it was hot as hell, but we managed to find a couple really cool beach bars along the way to cool off with a beer or two, and enjoy the scenery. ;) From the ride, I snapped a picture of the harbor in Split (the one for cruise ships, ferries, yachts, etc... not the industrial stuff)
The picture of the finger shaped beach was one of the beaches we passed on our way into the park. The whole point of Split is a federal park.
While on the ride, we came across this interesting building built into the side of the cliffs... not sure what it is, but was also next to some ancient chapel on the cliffs. The last pic is of the main promenade in Split. It's a really cool area and the palace is just behind it. We probably hang out most in the palace and on the promenade because it is close to out hotel and has great people watching... and lots of cool cafes that we can drink at.
