The train pulled into Split at 6:05 and I awoke a tad hung-over having rather over imbibed the night before. I'd managed to spill cherry brandy all over my shorts, so I had to change into my swimming shorts before we got off the train. The weather, like my stomach, was a bit unsettled as we left the train station.

The first port of call was the hostel to drop our stuff off. We then decided to try a taste of Split's cafe-culture and spent the next few hours talking off our hang-overs on a swing outside the cafe. I had a cup of Croatian tea - a type of fruity herbal tea served with lemon and sugar; very refreshing.

We then went back to the hostel for a nap before lunch. Unfortunately lunch was rubbish, but being British we didn't complain, kept a stiff upper lip, and headed down to the beach. The weather had cheered up and I had a swim in the sea. The water was very calm and it was very relaxing to just float next to a buoy and think about life.

After the beach we grabbed some takeaway pizza and spent the rest of the night in our room watching the football. We had booked a private room so we were guaranteed a good night's sleep for once! After the football we had an early night to top off a very lazy day, which was much needed!
