Stari Grad, Hvar Part 1

Our first major day trip was to the island of Hvar. We'd heard lots of great things about it and we were not disappointed. We took the ferry to Stari Grad - a town on the north side of the island and walked the short distance from the port to the small town enjoying the views and the sunshine which were both glorious!

Stari Grad itself is one of the oldest town in Europe and although it was small, there was so much to see and smile at. The streets were lovely and colourful, there were palm trees(!), people on mopeds whizzing around and I took a lot of photos.

I love this first set of photos, there's something special about the first few photos of a new place you visit - you almost feel like you have to capture everything you specifically want to remember in those first few photos so that it doesn't become common place to you as you walk around.

Also, how perfect is the Ektar film for the location?! Eep.

Marjan Forest Park Part I

I can imagine that there will be a number of posts with photos of the Marjan Forest Park as these were just the first photos that I took of many.  Nikola - who we rented the studio from - told us on our first day that the park was mostly used by locals rather than tourists and we were surprised to find that it was true. Especially as if you look on a map at Split - the park takes up the whole of the west side of the Peninsula! In fact it was one of the main reasons that we wanted to go.

A lot of tourists in Split are missing out on an amazing place to visit don't you think?

Around our studio apartment...

Although we researched where we were going to stay fairly well, we were still surprised by how great the location we had for our studio* was. Located between the Old Town and the Marjan Forest Park, we wound around the tiny streets of Split every day and I loved all the little details we saw.

I particularly loved the fish mural, the terracotta roofs and I may have quite a few more photos of palm trees still to share too - I didn't quite get over the novelty of those haha.

*We stayed here in Studio Apartment 1 if you're interested - Thomas and I would both recommend it if you're considering Split as a destination and Nikola - our host was amazing and very friendly.
