Cherie’s
friend booked an Airbnb apartment for our accommodations in Split.
The
apartment is in a perfect location, and is very adequate, but the NOISE level!!
What
was not stated in reviews from previous guests, is that below the apartment
there is a venue that plays LOUD music until 1:00 am. Friday night everyone was so tired from
traveling – we definitely noticed the loud music, but we slept through most of
it. However, last night (Sat night) was
a different story. It was several decameters louder! Things were vibrating in
the apartment from the volume of the bass!
None of us slept until 1:00 am!!
For myself, I was still vibrating inside for at least another half hour.
You can imagine how everyone was feeling this morning!! To say the least, this
Airbnb review will NOT be positive!
Cal’s
cold continues to be an issue. He needs
to take it easy today, especially after only having a half night’s sleep. We bought stronger meds from a Pharmacy this
morning – finding an open Pharmacy on Sunday morning was difficult, but on the
3rd try we found one.
Cal
is going to stay in the apartment today.
Cherie and I are going to explore the villages along the coastline north
of Split. It was noon before we were on
the road. It was a lovely drive, mostly
within view of the Adriatic Sea. There
are hundreds of islands off the coastline.
Some have villages with roads, while others are rocky with no
residents. There are a few causeways
running from the mainland to the islands, but most are accessed by boat only. We saw harbor after harbor full of sail
boats, yachts and other boats. Cherie
thinks all Croatians own a boat, due to the numbers of boats in docks, coves
and harbors! Beautiful views!
Today
is Sunday, right? Well, not a single church was open today in any of the
villages we visited!! We would have visited 3 or 4 had we had the opportunity.
These
villages are summer resort areas, as most of them are closed for the winter
season. Literally, it was difficult to
even find an open coffee bar along the way.
Yes, it was Sunday, but it was more than that, as in one village the ATM
machines were boarded up!
We
reached the town of Sibenik about 3:15.
After walking around the old Town of Sibenik, and disappointed we could
not enter its famous St James church, we decided it was time to drive back to Split
on the toll-way.

The
temperature has been dropping all day and it has been windy. We have worn our hats, coats and gloves
whenever we have walked around a village.
Everyone
was back at the apartment, beginning Happy Hour when we arrived! Cal joined us
for dinner tonight, as he is feeling a little better. Hopefully he can sleep
well tonight. Hopefully no music!
