Woke up early in Split and left for the bus station. I had originally only thought the bus ride would be 3ish hours, then when buying the ticket they tell me it's 4 hours. And when we finally rolled into Dubrovnik it had been an almost 5 hours bus ride! With little air conditioning and a full bus of people! So really warm and stuffy but finally made it to my next city!
I'm at another air b&b and the host said not to worry that I only have a day and a half because that's plenty of time to see the old city. I have another private room thank Jesus because there is yet again no air conditioning in the house. But I got a fan!! So that's something at least.
I left for the beach, about a 10 minute walk each way. It was the best water I have swam in so far, completely clear water and the temperature was perfect! However they don't have sandy beaches. I believe they only have a few sandy ones compared to the dozens of beaches They have. So instead of sand it's pebbles and rocks of all different shapes and sizes. So getting in and out wasn't the funnest.
Back to the house to change and then leave for the old city. The hosts name is Irena, she's very nice doesn't have the greatest English so getting directions is a bit of a nightmare. But we managed and she told me where the bus stop was. Another 10 minute walk each way. I left for the bus stop to go to the old city.
When I got there it was about an hour from sunset so I thought perfect time to do the cable cars (where you ride to the top part of the mountain and can get the best view of the old city) I did that and got to the top, unfortunately I'm not sure if it was because it was so close to sunset, or because there was a weird fog/ smoke in the air, but the water wasn't as blue was it normally is. Which made the tops of the roofs not looks as orange as they normally are.
Oh well though, it's not going to be perfect all the time, and at least I got to see it at sunset and in the dark aswell! The top of the view was amazing, Such an beautiful view!
I rode it back down and then walked around the old city for awhile before heading back to the house. Tomorrow will be a long full day of being outside because I'm catching a bus at 10pm heading for split because I have an early flight the next day and that's the only bus that will get me there in time. So I want to be out and seeing the old city as much as I can.
