Road Trip, Part 2

We left Dubrovnik on Thursday around 2pm after we went to the Dubrovnik Airport and picked up our rental car... a modest Fiat Punto. Just as an observation, I think the standard European rental car is some sort of Fiat. Every time I've been to Europe with my parents, we've hit the road in a little Fiat. So here is ours, this picture was taken on an overlook on the way to Split:


View from the overlook, not of the Fiat:


With our trusty Garmin GPS, we arrived in Split that very rainy night. We had a little problem in that the hotel wasn't actually located on a road, so we ended up circling around a taxi stand a few times before we realized what was happening. Once we found the hotel, after a lot of searching, we unloaded the Punto and got something to eat. The next day we wandered around Split.

(This was some sort of art installation in the Palace, which haunts my dreams):

These are some from the Town Centre:
 







And so after our sightseeing, we had some coffee and burek on the waterfront and hit the road to Nikola Tesla's house...
