Our last day in Split

We wake to thunder and lightning and rain on the Croatian coast this morning far different from yesterday's glorious day, as I lay here crashing the keys on my iPad trying to reschedule today's activities the weather begins to break . We fuel up with the big breakfast and decide that the shopping mall should keep us dry,as we ponder the taxi option a taxi driver awaiting another pick up suggests we go to another historical town some 30 minutes out of town, he knows another bloke with a taxi happens to be his brother. Soon we a speeding our way toTroji with the freeway speed limit of between 60-80kph due to roadworks but our driver thinks 110-120 kph is a safer speed. Also a chat on the mobile phone is another thing they take pride in doing whilst driving, but we do arrive safely. The driver say he will wait 1 hour then take us back to Split we like this cabbie a lot, and the weather is starting to look promising as we climb aboard for our return to Split. The tipping is getting out of hand as WADDA is still coming to terms with this one country two currencies fiasco, and at the moment I'm being very generous to all who cross my path. Miss Denny stares me down when I reach for my wallet and say that this generosity cannot continue or we might have to busk on the boat. I ease into the afternoon with a couple of ciders and some rest time, the evening is soon with us and we settle on a last supper in our luxury apartment . WADDA and the St Kilda supporter head out to gather the evening meal from a nearby supermarket which consisted of 2 stubbies of beer 2 stubbies of cider 1 tomatoe 4 very small bread rolls and a kit Kat for sweets, we also boiled some water for our wives. The boiled water will prevent any illness and can also be used for our road trip tomorrow, so I hope these precautions are ok. Tomorrow we head for Zagreb via Plitvice national park ,this is one of the parks in Croatia under UNESCO protection,the trip is about 400ks in distance with a 4 hour stopover at Plitvice. As the sun sets over the Adriatic coastline we begin to ready ourselves for the next phase of this fabulous holiday,so I'll be back tomorrow........maybe.......WADDA
