Mid morning has us driving through a deluge of biblical proportions. The 130 km/h motorways are reduced to 80 km/h and even at that the bucketing down rain and aquaplaning surface water make even 80ks dangerous.
The morning out from Plitvice started out with low cloud and no rain. The first 90 minutes was over winding rural roads up and down over successive foggy ranges. All seemed easy until the motorway . Close to our destination of Split and through the rain bands we stopped at a petrol station for a toilet stop and some drinks. Bad call as the toilets were outside and we emerged soaked as drowned rats from the experience.
Nonetheless our smart Air BnB priced at $70 per night is 10 meters from the beach and the Adriatic see and we made it on time for our guided walk through the centrepiece of this town Diocletian’s palace dating back to the 4th century AD.
