16 August, 2006
We woke up exhausted and got to the Laundromat 1 minute away to do our washing. Our villa was really in a good location and we thought we would abuse it whilst we could. We then set off from Split to Makarska. Nobody told us that the traffic would be hectic in Omis- a fairly big town along the coastal road. So we got stuck for over an hour! We finally arrived in Makarska and we found a reasonable hotel but well over-priced! I managed to have a leg wax in the town- big thing! We sat at the pool relaxing the rest of the afternoon- had a snooze- and managed to connect on wireless from the pool terrace. There happened to be an internet café just below so we were all sorted. The staff at the hotel were so rude and did not want to assist us in any way. We had a late pizza- naughty naughty and walked around until 1am. Everywhere was buzzing! Oh, around 12h30 we went to the police station to ask them if I would have a problem crossing the border in Bosnia and they guaranteed us it would be fine. So, we were heading to Dubrovnik the next day across the border! Makarska is a buzzing fairly small beach town if you want to relax. It is pretty but there are no major cultural sights or museums to see. I guess if you have time it is a good place to just chill and catch up on things.
