They were filming Game of Thrones while we were there
We were up very early to make sure we left the hotel by 7 to catch the ferry from Stari Grad to Split. We found it easily and once aboard, we both fell asleep for the entire 2 hour trip. We arrived in Split and exited the ferry and parked immediately. We went to the palace with was neat, but you are only able to tour the basement remains. The taller parts have been reconverted into office buildings and apartments. Next we went to the cathedral, which was also neat but again, a very quick tour. We had lunch at a small cafe on the water and then hit the road to drive to Zadar. The drive only took us about an hour and a half and we were on a really nice highway (compared to our last one!). We found our hotel easily and checked in - the Hotel Bastion. It was incredible! We were greeted with Croatian champagne, roses and fruit and were taken to our room. It is a very neat (and small) boutique hotel who's previous guests include Seal, Anthony Bourdain, and many more. We walked the town a bit and went to the Sea Organ. It is an architectural object and an experimental musical instrument which plays music by way of sea waves and tubes located underneath a set of large marble steps. It was very neat to see and experience. After dinner by the water we retired contently to our hotel.
