An air-conditioned 7 hour train ride to Split. Very relaxing. For the first time I feel like I'm starting to get to somewhere. I tried two hostels in Split but at both places there was no receptionist so I traipsed back to the train station and found a little old lady renting out a room. She speaks no English but we got by.
This is a different sort of city from Zagreb. The latter place is inland and insulated from the corruptions of foreigners. Here we are a short ferry ride from Italy. This place, I think, will have all the warts that Zagreb lacked, and will be more interesting and more blighted by commercialism. I plan to settle in here for two days, then, maybe ride a ferry to Vis. But lets see what happens tomorrow.
The sea breeze is cooling things this evening but I get the impression that even here it will be over 90 degrees tomorrow.
