6/19 Wednesday
We need to spend some time at home
to find our next accommodations. It’s a necessary procedure, and takes a few hours, but it’s easy enough to get through it, and we
get ourselves set up near the city of Split for a week, about 4 hours down the
coast, then at a small “pirates” town for the week after that. Our host’s father lives above us, and has a big vegetable garden in
the yard. He only speaks German, but he says hello when he comes out to water
the plants. Today he stops with a plate with two gigantic figs for us.
We
head into the city to see the Museum of Ancient Glass. It’s unusual and
interesting, with a modern, spare and clean design. It’s also very hot. We wind
our way through the city streets, shiny polished marble stone streets. Then I
take a swim at the city pier, where the “Sea Organ” makes whale music with the
rolling sea waves.
On our way home, we talk to a tour
guide, and decide to get on a boat trip to the nature preserve archipelago
called Korneci Islands, leaving Thursday morning.
Our host's apartments need to be inspected to be rated for stars,
and the inspectors are coming Friday morning. He needs to make
some adjustments in the apartment to improve his ratings. He thinks he can’t
quite get four stars, but he plans on getting three. We’ll be out of the apartment all day Thursday on our boat trip for him
to make his improvements, and we’ll plan to be away on Friday morning when the
inspectors come through.
