I Split...to Togir!

The next morning I was up early again, this time to head to Togir. It was the town recommended by the guy in the information office. Luckily there was a bus that left quite often and it was only a 30 minute ride. As we drove along the beautiful coastline I could see the advantage of having a car. I coulnd't stop and take pictures of all the beautiful sights, and there were many! We arrived to a cute town surrounded by walls, directly on the water.

 I wandered around and there were signs with maps to show where to go. The water here is such a beautiful colour and I just wish my camera really captured it properly. 


After walking all the way around the city and through some of the streets in the centre, I decided to stop and have some lunch. I was starving! I chose to eat on the water so I could enjoy the beautiful sunshine as well as the view.
 I ended up ordering a pizza, but I also had a tomatoe salad, again, wanting some "veggies".
It was pretty good and hit the spot. I walked a bit more in the walls before deciding I had exhausted the city so headed to the bus station. 

Togir had not been a happening place and many things were closed (including the tourists offices, which by the way most of them are). It was Sunday so people may have been in church! When I arrived back in Split, I went to the cruise boat to buy a ticket. I was a bit early so I sat and waited but the time grew closer and nobody showed up to sell tickets. The plank never came down. As I headed back to my room, I passed the markets and saw a man selling strawberries. I had been eyeing them for the last couple of days so decided to buy some. Yum! Eventually I went and did some research about the islands. I had cancelled my hotel in Bol, thinking I wouldn't be able to make it work. I had to pay as it was too late to cancel but I figured it would be worth it. As it turns out, all the islands are hard to get to, and this one was one of the easiest. I was starting to regret my decision to cancel. I grabbed my book and decided to read in the sun for a bit before the next cruise time. This time, I went up to the boat and the captain was sitting inside. He said it wasn't a good day to go out and it was not running. Too bad! I did some more exploring of the city before choosing my dinner place. 

This time, I was intent on finding something with truffle oil. It's a big thing here and I hadn't tried it yet. I found a place that did homemade pasta with a truffle sauce with prosciutto and cheese. 

It was heavenly! So rich and filling! 
That didn't top me from having some desert! I am on vacation at all!
And that was the half size!
That night I sent the hotel in Bol a note saying I'd be coming after all. I got myself organized so I could leave first thing.
