Croatia Sailing: Split

Suddenly it was the last day of our Croatia Sailing tour. We were headed back to Split, but not without a final swim stop.

This meant everyone on deck for a final plunge from the top of the boat. It also meant some hilarious pictures.

Ready... set...

Gooooooo!

Synchronised divers, kind of 

What a splash

Where are you going again starfish?

Solo jump from the roof, ahhh!

We lay out on the top deck for a last time, pumped some tunes and caught a last bit of sun. But it wouldn’t have been a proper last day without some rapping from Agenda MC.

Yes, we were about to appear in a hip hop video – you know the ones set partying on a boat with bikini clad chicks hanging out in the background? Yep, that was us, featuring Marcus the pirate cracking us all up.

Dobar dan I’m on a boat

We arrived in Split later that afternoon for a walk around town, some sneaky gelati, and to hit up the ATM. It was time to settle our bar tabs on the boat. Mine wasn’t as bad as expected, rounding off to about $200 for the week.

Hanging with Gandalf the Grey

We had a final group dinner at the Goli and Bosi hostel restaurant, where we celebrated Jesse J’s birthday with tequila shots. It was happy hour and they were so cheap! How could we refuse?

Bottoms up!

The celebrations continued at Charlie’s Bar, where we drank cocktails outside on the street and good old cement mixer shots inside at the bar.

Always a party

Ready to mix cement

Shaaaaaaaake!

Next up was the more chilled Red Room, followed by a walk to the Beach Club nightclub overlooking the water. This was probably the busiest club we’d been to all week. We danced the night away with our new friends before calling it a night and making the walk home to the boat.

It was sad to think we would be leaving so many great people the next morning, but have made plans to catch up with many of them back in Australia. A big thanks to Grace and Trev, Steph and Andia, Marcus and Jesse J, Cara, Jimmy and Shelly, Emma, Lani, Courtney and Sally for a fantastic week. And especially to Adam aka Agenda MC, when you become famous remember us!

I would strongly suggest picking up a Busabout or Sail Croatia tour around the Dalmatian coast, it has been an absolute highlight of the trip so far. Everyone I know who has done one of these trips has had the most fun, and the scenery alone is to die for. I would definitely consider doing this or a similar trip again, and hope I can make it back to some of the stunning Croatian Islands. I will miss this place.
