After shaking off the room hustlers and following some obscure directions we found our hostel, the Green Lizard. We then walked around the old town for a little and then had a great dinner at a steak and sea food restaurant recommended by the hostel. That night we hung out at a local bar where we met some Irish girls with mouths that would make a sailor blush.
The next day we visited the old fortress that overlooks the old town and harbor. It gave us some incredible views. That evening we once again had a great sea food dinner and then went back to the room where we met our Canadian roommates, a girl and guy. They seemed like good people so the four of us decided to find a bar/club that was apparently set up in an old monastery in the middle of a forest. After being sidetracked by another bar we made it to the monastery. It was pretty cool but not as busy as we had thought it might be.
The next day we had hoped to but in some beach time and work on out now fading tans but it was mostly overcast and kind of cool. So we walked around the island a little instead. On our walk we managed to find a great bar on the sea where we had a beer. There where some incredible waves. While sitting at the main port we just happen to catch a big yacht as it attempted leave port. Normally an uneventful sighting, on this occasion the captain managed to tangle a rope in the prop. With the loss of almost all power this multimillion dollar boat slowly drifted across the harbor directly in the direction of what was probably the second most expensive boat in the harbor. Luckily the sailboat in the yachts way moved just in time. That evening we met some guys from Montreal and hung out with them for most of the night.
The next day we hopped on what would be our last ferry of the trip and headed back to the main land. We had one night booked in Split and of course that afternoon it was raining. After eventually finding our hostel we took a small walk around the old town. We grabbing a slice for supper and headed back to the hostel where we watched a movie in our room. This hostel had a TV in the room that allowed us to access hundreds of movies for free. We had to wake up early the next day so this was a great thing to occupy us for the evening.The next day we caught an early morning train that went to the capital city of Zagreb. We had a two hour stopover so we walked around the city and grabbed some lunch. From there it was another decently long train ride to Budapest.
