From Milna to Split

Yesterday was the last day of sailing for me.  I was leaving the tour early in order to spend more time in Split.  The rest of the group will have spent their last night at Trogir.

At Milna yesterday morning, it was the usual start to the day with coffee and a Krafen from memory.  At around 9.30 we headed off.  The weather was cloudy so we didn't anchor for a swim anywhere, and we pretty much just sailed straight to Split which took about an hour and a half.  Nico reckons he saved our life when we had to sail over the biggest wave we'd encountered yet, created by another boat nearby.  Good work Nico, but I think we would have survived even if you hadn't manoeuvred so deftly.

At Split I said my thanks and good byes to Nico then walked with the rest of the team towards the town.  As we neared, I figured I was nearby to my apartment so then I said goodbye to the crew.  What an awesome week it has been.  One of the best, most relaxing holidays ever.  The weather was absolutely perfect, and the crew amazing.  It was very sad to leave.



I thought I would need to go to a cafe to get online in order to find the location of my apartment, but by sheer luck, I found it virtually immediately.  They had got my room ready early too for me so I was able to check in immediately.  Even better, my luggage had arrived safe and sound.  All things awesome.

The first thing I did was jump in the shower then dried and straightened my hair.  Then I went out to explore and of course I run into the crew.  They were having a drink before heading back to the boat.  After second goodbyes, I wandered around and discovered the markets, and the old ruins.  Stunning.  Amazing.  I stopped for lunch, had an average risotto and skyped Todd, then went back to the apartment and skyped from there.  Exhausted or no reason at all, I had a nap.


After waking I went out for another wander and a bite to eat, which consisted of cevapi in a bun with sauces and salad.  It was amazing!!!
