We (Jess, Dee, myself and others) had planned this holiday sooo long ago and now finally its happening! It started with an overnight stay at the airport, around midnight we left home and headed down to Gatwick on the last train of the night. Funnily enough, there were not many people around at this time of the night. We checked in and went through security. The plan was for us to find somewhere to have a bit of a sleep, but I was not tired, so no-one got any sleep. Then I was hungry, Dee heard me mention food and she agreed it was time to eat. Luckily there is a McDonalds here, unlike the other London airports. After a slow and yummy breakfast, shops began to open. We had a browse of duty free and filled in our time until we could board at just after 6am.
As soon as our heads hit the head rest, we were asleep. I slept really well and more than likely dribbled! I woke up just as we were coming into Split. I could see the Croatian coast and the island of Trogir as we flew over. From the airport it was a short bus ride to the centre of Split.
The plan was to meet Andy at the bus stop in town and we saw him when we got off. From here I lead the way to our accommodation- it was an apartment and quite cosy, but in a great location. As soon as we saw the beds and got the air conditioner working, we decided we needed a nap. A few hours and showers later, we were ready to go for a walk around town and eat a late lunch.
It was nice to be back here and show my friends around the town. We found somewhere to eat and escape from the heat. We made a pact that each day we have to eat ice-cream at least once each day. We then went in search of the bar on the beach. We walked down to Bacvice- an area known for bars and beaches. We sat at a table and watched the sun set while enjoying the first of many drinks for the summer. We still weren't 100% after our sleep over at the airport, so it was an early night.
