Good morning good morning.
Good morning guys.
Someone has had a transformation since the last video.
Yeah.
From Wolverine to clean cut.
I do this about every 2.5 months I'd say.
Yeah.
How was it going to the barber in Croatia?
Oh, it was awesome.
These guys were true professionals.
Yeah.
Like these older gentlemen they wore like white it was almost like lab coats and they
took their job seriously.
They did a great job like I really like what they did they even put a little bit of cream
around the sides and they were using their razors, splashing some alcohol on after.
Like these guys knew what they were doing.
So you got pampered.
Yeah it was a really good price I think it was 5 or 6 Euros or something like that.
Oh nice.
In local currency it was 40 Kuna.
I remember now.
Anyways today is a travel day.
We haven't didn't spend much time in Split.
We only had 4 nights here.
Mmmhmm.
Um and so we're moving on to Dubrovnik.
Mmmhmm.
Really excited about that.
This is the one city in Croatia that we really really want to visit.
Yeah.
Everyone raves about it.
We've been watching a couple of videos on it and it just looks absolutely stunning.
So we're really excited to be going there today.
And yeah we're taking a bus.
But anyways before we do that let's give you a tour of our apartment.
Yep.
So as you know we're traveling with my parents.
My Mom and Dad and also Val.
So we got this was our coolest apartment so far.
We got three bedrooms that had 3 bathrooms.
What a luxury.
Yeah we each had our own bathroom.
Like my parents had their own bathroom, we did and Val had her own bathroom.
Yeah.
Which was great.
Anyways they are in their rooms but we're going to show you our rooms.
The living room, the kitchen and common areas.
Yeah.
Alright, let's begin.
Okay so this was our nice big bed.
Our bedroom.
It was awesome.
Nice big bed.
Oh it was so nice after sleeping on like a small bed in Venice.
Oh yeah the bunkbeds.
And also on the ferry.
Little desk area.
Yeah I utilized this as my workspace and then here we had an armoire.
We didn't actually use it we just lived out of the suitcases.
Yeah we didn't use it at all for a few days.
Some hangers.
Yeah it was very spacious.
Nice spacious room and I'll take you into the bathroom now which is right over here.
Okay.
Backtracking.
So backtracking.
Come into the bathroom.
Yeah we had a nice shower.
Walk in shower.
Really good water pressure.
Lots of hot water.
Yeah.
So big time bonus.
Um we also had our washing machine or two washing machines.
Two washing machines in the apartment.
Yeah.
My goodness.
It was awesome.
Again we didn't have a washing machine in Venice so we were doing a lot of laundry here.
Yes.
Um yeah so we'll go on and show you.
This is just the entrance.
Yep.
Into the house.
So it is one the 2nd level.
Lots of luggage here at the moment.
As you can see we are almost ready to leave.
Yep.
We have the 10 o'clock bus to catch.
Um so yeah a nice alleyway leading into here.
We had a courtyard here.
Yeah we did.
We could have hung our laundry out there.
Yeah but we had quite a bit of rain.
So come over this way you were backing up.
This over here would have been Val's room.
A one bedroom.
This is a little desk.
I don't think anyone used this because we had a nice big living room.
Come on in here and you'll see the kitchen.
Again we had another washing machine.
Nice.
We had a nice sink.
We had a microwave.
Yeah it was just fully equipped.
You can see in here they put a really generous amount of just everything.
Lots of wine glasses.
Yeah like they this was just a really nice place and the lady who checked us in I've
got to give her big time props because she let us check in at 8 in the morning after
arriving by ferry.
Mmmhmm.
And that is so nice.
Some airbnb hosts try to charge you for an extra night or try to get extra money.
None of that was asked.
She just gave us a super early check-in.
She was so nice, so friendly.
Um she explained things like what a lovely host.
Just makes me really you know excited that we do often choose to stay in apartments over
hotels.
Yes.
Come on in here.
Now the living and dining area.
This place was absolutely awesome.
A huge living room.
Loved it.
Really comfortable couches.
This is a couch basically.
That was the best one.
Yeah.
Some of us were sleeping on here.
We had a big TV.
I don't think we used that at all.
No.
And then we had a really big dining table.
Yes.
We actually had 6 chairs but I'm drying my jacket.
I went out for a jog to pick up bread for our sandwiches.
It has been raining this morning for lunch and I got caught out in a almost like a storm.
It was really coming down hard some I'm trying to dry my jacket before we leave.
And yeah that is it.
So what we're going to do now is basically we have to walk to the bus station which is
really close and we've got a 4.5 hour bus ride.
We'll tell you a bit more about that once we arrive at the station.
Alright Audrey and Pumpy.
We are about to say fare thee well to Split.
What did you guys think of this place?
Uh beautiful little coastal town.
Yeah.
Great for sailors, great for walkers, great for cyclists.
And in the summertime probably great for beaches as well.
Yeah.
This time of year it was just perfect for us because we were leaving cold Italy.
Yeah.
And uh leaving it behind.
It was when we left Venice we were escaping the Beast from the East in terms of weather
and we came here and it was at least like 14 or 15 degrees warmer.
We were going from like sub-zero temperatures to like highs of 15 or 16.
So it felt very very relatively warm.
Yeah.
What did you think Audrey?
I really enjoyed it.
I'm still thinking about that burger with the truffle mayo.
Yeah.
That was the highlight right there.
And we also had that great seafood meal as well with fish.
And we also it is fascinating like the historic place to explore.
Inside that castle.
There is a number of day trips you can take from here.
Like you can actually go to Mostar in a day.
Some companies run that.
And some islands from here.
Yeah you can go island hopping.
Last year we went to Hvar from here.
So it is a great launching point.
It is also not too far to Dubrovnik.
We only have a four and a half hour bus ride.
And do you remember the price of those tickets?
Or do we have to look that up?
I do not.
16 Euros each.
Oh yeah.
Because we asked everyone for money.
It came to 16 Euros I forget the price in Kuna but yeah it literally came to 16 Euros
per person.
Yeah.
And uh it should be good.
Um and unfortunately it appears we're arriving to rain and Dubrovnik.
But we have beautiful weather here.
Absolutely stunning.
Stunning right here at the moment.
Maybe the weatherman is wrong again.
Yeah hopefully.
He's been wrong several times on our trip.
He has.
I hope he's wrong in the direction that we'd like.
I hope we arrive to sunny weather but anyways it is looking good.
The two days that we have in Dubrovnik are scheduled to be sunny.
Tomorrow and the next day so yeah we'll make the most of those.
Really looking forward to it.
They say Dubrovnik is the jewel of Croatia so yeah.
What is it the pearl of the Adriatic?
It has been called.
The pearl of the Adriatic.
Haha.
There you go.
So yeah we're looking forward to it and we will be boarding the bus in probably like
5 to 10 minutes.
Right.
Time for an update.
Good morning.
I've been catching up on my beauty sleep.
You have.
What time is it?
Actually it is not even morning.
It is 12:30pm.
Yes.
So we're about halfway there.
This is just a five minute rest stop.
Mmmhmmm.
Um I've been awake the whole time.
This has been one of the most stunning bus rides we've ever taken.
I caught a few glimpses.
I keep waking up every once in a while and being like oh wow coastline and water.
That is nice and then I just go back down on my pillow.
Yep.
That sounds about right.
It has been a good journey we are in Bloche.
I guess about halfway.
About halfway there.
Yeah, so getting back to talking about the stunning scenery.
Like it is just incredible there are parts where you are up high in the mountains and
then you come down low by the coast.
You go through sleepy fishing villages and resort towns.
Resort towns even some industrial towns and other parts where you sort of veer away from
the coastline a little bit.
So we have even seen some rivers and lakes along the way.
Yeah, yeah we have.
It has just been sunny and gorgeous.
White cotton candy clouds in the sky.
Like I couldn't have ordered up a better day for this route.
Mmmhmm.
Urgh.
We made it.
Made it to where are we?
Dubrovnik.
Haha.
You don't even know where we are.
We're in Dubrovnik.
I guess we're just tired because we had to climb up a lot of steps.
Yes.
We had to go up some hills.
And then I just had to go get groceries and go up and down like 10 flights of steps.
Back and up and up and back.
I'm tired.
Okay that sounds really whiny.
Yeah.
We're staying on a hill.
Like if you stay outside of the city walls you're going to be on a bit of an incline.
So we have some incredible views.
Yeah.
Like we have a balcony we can see the whole Old City and the harbour and the boats.
The views are amazing.
The sun is about to set.
Yeah.
So we have a lot to be thankful for.
Exactly.
We can't wait to explore.
We only have two full days starting tomorrow.
It looks like we're going to have nice weather.
And yeah let's go out to the balcony we'll just turn this camera around and walk out.
Waddle out.
It is locked.
Lets unlock this door.
That will unlock it.
And this is how we will end guys with some views of tada.
Look at this.
Hello.
So let's start on this end.
Yep.
And pan.
Pan.
There is like a vine and an orange tree.
But check it out that is the old town over there.
It sure is.
The walled city.
We'll be walking down there tomorrow.
That is the plan.
Definitely excited about that part.
Yeah.
So tata for now and we will see you with a food video and probably a city guide from
Dubrovnik.
Yeah, right now we are just going to have dinner in our pyjamas in our apartment so
yeah exactly.
See you later people.
Tata.
See you later.
