Split, the arrival

We did finally make it to Split. We had driven all the way across our map of Croatia, which was pretty cool. Parking was a nightmare. As a general rule of thumb (in case you ever need to park in Croatia) a space along the road without cars in it, is a place where it is illegal to park. We drove around narrow one way roads, barely missing the cars squashed in on either side of us. We finally found a spot up an alley in front of the "black cat cafe." We walked down to the waterfront and found an internet cafe with cheap wifi. We sat in the shade of unbrellas and just relaxed while Schyler tried to find us a hostel. After about an hour we got some lunch and soon after Schyler had found what sounded like a nice hostel about half an hour outside split. The website didn't let us make a reservation so we would have to just show up.

We parked here at first, hoping to find an internet cafe, but after walking in several directions for about half an hour we decided we were too far away from the city center. It was really hot too. I found a cicada and about four bottle caps so the quick treck wasn't a total loss.
