June 24th, Bus Zadar to Split



6/24     Monday
            Moving day, bus to Split. our host gives us a warm send-off at the bus station. As we go, dark clouds pile up and break into rain. We’re just on the bus, so we don’t care much. This ride is along the coast, but it’s more of a flat plain, not a mountain cliff. The towns we pass look nice, simple tourist towns, not much going on but the pleasant waterfronts.
            The bus drives into Split, which is the second largest city in Croatia after Zagreb. It looks much bigger than Zagreb, with cement tenement towers dominating the cityscape. The harbor is big and busy with ferries, cruise ships and yachts. It’s across the street from the bus station, so the whole harbor area is chaotic and full of people, cars, taxis, buses and boats. Our bus is nearly an hour late, and our host is waiting for us.
            We drive about ten minutes down the highway to our Stobrec, just on the edge of Split, but a completely different atmosphere. We’re in a little harbor town, with a street of small shops and cafes wrapped around a city park, beach and harbor. We’re about one block from the center of it.
