We left Budapest by train to Croatia. We entered the European Union way back in Iceland and haven’t received any stamps in our passports since that time. Well, we got both an exit stamp out of Hungary and an entrance stamp into Croatia! How exciting! The train brought us into Zagreb, where we stayed the night a little hostel. In the morning, we took another train to the coast of Croatia to a little city called Split. Diocletian’s Palace is in the city center. Some parts of the Roman palace are still standing, some areas have been rebuilt, and the areas that are in ruins the modern city has just been built on top. We took a city bus to an area called Solin which was the capital of the Roman province during the time of Julius Caesar. There is a huge archaeological area in Solin where there are ruins of the old Roman city. There are ruins of churches, bath houses, an amphitheater, and other buildings. We found the sun here too on the coast of Adriatic sea. Its definitely warmer here than the areas of Europe we’ve seen!
After several days in Split, we took a two hour ferry ride to the island of Korcula. It is currently the low season here so we might be the only tourists in town! We have rented a really cute little apartment and have enjoyed our time here very much. The apartment has a fish tank with two fish in it. It’s been nice to have some little pets again even if it is for just a couple of days. Korcula has lots of vineyards and olive tree groves on the island. We bought several bottles of wine last night and drank it on the old stone wall looking over to the other islands. We really enjoyed being on island time!
What’s next? We take a ferry back to the mainland this afternoon. From there we are taking a bus to Zadar, another coastal town, for one night. Then we head back to Zagreb to catch a train to Venice, Italy. We are going to jump on a cruise ship in Venice and cruise around the Greek Islands for 12 days. Life is great!
