It’s only 2 minutes walk
In Split it’s only 2 minutes away. I am in old town Split. It’s not that big and every time I google directions to a particular sight or business here it is only 2 minutes away according to google maps. It is inaccurate of course but it gets comical as the visit here goes on.
My friend leaves this morning so I am alone in my travels again, at least for a couple weeks. It’s been fun having a companion so I am sad to see M go home.
My friend leaves while I sleep so I get up and make it to a late breakfast. Fortunately I get a surprise early check in at my fancy hotel I’ve paid with credit card points. It’s helpful because it’s raining and I’m not sure how much walking around I’m going to do right now.
Breakfast is a dessert for breakfast french toast. Because the rain I’m eating inside.
All the partying the last few days has my energy spent. The only thing I dare put on the agenda today is the very ridiculous Froggyland and maybe one more attempt at some decent seafood for dinner.
Froggyland is just as ridiculous as I imagined. In the early 1900’s a Hungarian taxidermist created all these scenes with frogs doing everyday human things. Yes it is just as it sounds. They have a strict no photo policy there so here are some photos off the flyer.
I go to the Luxor restaurant for dinner. I can’t decide what I want so I order the Croatian style cevapi and some seafood arancini balls.
I finally visit the bakery I’ve been wanting to visit Bäckerei Kruscic since it was closed the day before. I had wanted to order something savory but all the labels are in Croatian. Embarrassed to ask what things are I point to one that looks good. It ends up being sweet and somewhat like a Kolach. It has apples and some other things I am not so sure about.
My flight is the early afternoon. I take a cab because I don’t trust any other form of transport to get me there in time. The airport is pretty small. I love how effortless it is to check in for these domestic flights.
My next stop is Zagreb.
