We arrived in Croatia to find ourselves in front of a beautiful 14 person private villa with pool. It was such a good start to this dare devil trip. When I first told Bill I wanted to go to Croatia he said no....I don't blame him. I mean I still don't even know where Croatia is on the map of the world. After he checked the travel advisories and saw that Split was cleared for land mines (haha) I booked my flight! I am so happy I didn't miss out on this amazing trip. We had to wake up at 3:30 to make our way to the airport to catch our 6 a.m. flight. I think I got two hours of sleep prior to this trip!
View of the ocean and pebble beach from ze villa.
Once we got settled in we walked down the beach and jumped in at various points. The Adriatic Sea is supaaa salty and refreshing! We also stopped and got pina coladas too.
Water was crystal clear.
First night- a view of inside the Diocletian Palace.
After we swam all day, took a nap, drank a little....we headed into downtown Split. We at a long dinner of wine, bruschetta, and pasta. We then made our way to the bar next store for a free flaming alcohol shooter and dance party. Then we walked down the road to find a huge party! There were clowns and dancers and drummers and a dj. We all danced for hours! My friend Gabi and I thought we were sneaking on to a yacht to look around, but the owners were watching and laughing at us tip-toeing around. The owner of our villa conveniently owned a party bus/rental car service so he hooked us up all weekend with rides to and from places. Sooo our party bus picked us up and we all got a short but good night's sleep.
Our plan was to wake up at 7: 30 a.m and make our way to Bol Beach. I'll be honest I did not think this was going to happen BUT the boys got us all up and we were out the door at 7:45. We took a bus to downtown Split, a ferry to Supatar, then a bus up and over a mountain to Bol. The trek was worth it because I haven't seen anything prettier. We hiked down the rocks to the tip of the beach to set up for a day at the beach.
After spending the day in Bol we made our way back to Split for what we planned as family dinner. We went to the grocery store and got bruschetta ingredients, 15 fish filets, veggies, wine, beer, bread, cheese, ham, ice cream, cookies etc. The boys made dinner as the girls showered. We all sat down and ate and played drinking games until the wee hours of the morning. This was definitely one of my favorite nights of my whole European experience. We were sooooo sad to wake up early the next morning and head back to London town.
