Easy bus trip. Walk down hill to the bus depot in Sibenik. Buy a ticket. Put the luggage under the bus and get a seat. These are regular public buses that the locals use. They fiercly guard the empty seat next them and pretend to not know what you mean when you ask to sit down. Then they huff and puff and make a big thing about moving their bag, or whatever is on the seat. Hey ho, we are soon settled.
The journey was fabulous. The bus travelled all along the coastline for 3 hours. The sea sparkled in the sunshine. Perfect blue. Boats of all shapes and sizes wallowed at mooring or sailed toward distant shores. Little villages and hamlets bustled around tiny harbours. All this for a fiver!
As we neared Split, the traffic became slow and heavy. There is one road that ends at the bus terminal, the train station and the port. Everything goes there! It was busy. Cruise ships pull into the deep water port of Split. They carry thousands of passengers. In fact Tui Discovery ship was docked while we were there.
Split is yet another very hilly town, we knew we were inland so got a taxi to our apartment. It seemed a long way, but Split has a massively complicated oneway system. The apartment was actually only 10 minutes walk away.
