Typically, we would make an effort to find a place that we really liked for food but with this, we just decided to wing it and see what came up. (We did leave Zlatni Rat for this though – we were feeling lazy but we definitely knew better than to try to get food at a popular tourist hotspot).
The airport was pretty quiet, the lounge the same but somehow our flight was pretty full.
Anyway, a few hours after, we landed in sunny Split.
The plan was to explore Split but we decided to leave that till the last and head over to the islands nearby instead. (Made more sense than trying to catch a boat from the islands on the day you need to catch your flight).
Brac was our chosen island and we just left the airport and headed straight to the ferry terminal where we picked up our pre-booked tickets and made our way over to Brac.
Now we would have driven but seeing as everyone wanted to be able to freely indulge in a tipple (and we had no real plans on straying too far on Brac), we decided to get a taxi to take us to Bol on Brac island.
But yeah, enough about logistics, all in all, we arrived in Bol sometime in the early evening and we arrived starving. We quickly checked in to the Hotel Vitar (we picked this one almost solely for the rooftop pool ???????? ) and headed straight out to Ranc Restaurant in Bol (based on a local recommendation) for dinner.
Many-a-pasta, calamari, wine and grappa later, we piled into bed, thoroughly exhausted but excitedly looking forward to exploring Brac island.
The next morning started with a lazy breakfast at the hotel before dousing ourselves in sunscreen and heading down to the famous Zlatni Rat beach.
