Split Croatia....Beautiful !!!

20 September ’04, Monday. The last 3 days has been the first that we have stayed in somebody’s beach front lot. We were parked within 15 feet of their home and 2 other campervans. All 3 of the vans had beach front parking and the views were beautiful to say the least. The owners home was reminiscent of homes in Cabo. They are built of concrete block and rebar. If you look closely, construction has not been completed, as the rebar is sticking out the top to receive the new floor to come. They leveled the lot out by making a great sea wall. There were steps built-in so that we could access the beach below. Well, all good things must come to an end, so off we were headed to Split. This part of the drive we followed the coast line all the way. We saw some of the most magnificent shoreline villages you could ever imagine. I’m sure from now on, you will read about many more from one country to another. As I have mentioned before, the water colors are the brightest blue green you could ever imagine. On our way to Split, we passed Rogoznica. This is a very small community that sits on a small spit, just a few 100 yards off the mainland. You will have to check out our picture…. Also, since arriving at the coast of Croatia, we have seen a tremendous amount of signs along side of the road. These signs are a warning about forest and grass fires….well this afternoon, we saw our first. It was just outside of Split and was just getting started. By the way things looked on the hill sides, it wasn’t the first. Fortunately, they were able to put it out in a few hours. If you happen to see some exceptionally red sunset pictures, that is the reason. Our trip to Split was just about 90 miles, so it wasn’t long and we were checking in to our next campground. Again, we are on the beach, but we are parked in the back of a two story pension. A short walk around the building and we are at the beach. After about 3 hours at the beach sunning and swimming, we headed back to Bumble Bee to start dinner. We were met by the owners of our campsite, Jadranka and Branko, who told us about their son Nenad, and his accomplishments at school in America. Jadranka treated us to some home made brandy that her father makes from that, that is left over after making wine. Awful Good Brandy…. You can see were we are if you go to www.autocamptamaris.cjb.net . Well, I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night, so…. Tomorrow….Split, Croatia...can you believe we’re in Croatia ??? It’s awesome !
