Day 95: Don't make me SPLIT

This morning we got up and went to a place for breakfast Amy found as a recommendation from Rick Steve’s in her traveler’s book. It was a small restaurant attached to a hotel in the middle of square located just beside the palace. There, we essentially had unlimited varieties of homemade bread, meats and cheeses, jams and butters, fruit, yogurt, teas, coffees, juices, and eggs cooked the way we liked.
After breakfast, we headed to the harbor to and walked along the water for a while. We then stumbled upon some fried donut ball type things to have for a snack and sat by the water and enjoyed them. We then walked down along the harbor to check out the boats and restaurants down that way. I was really glad we decided to do so because the view of the water, harbor, and mountains was absolutely stunning.
We then headed back into town and grabbed some homemade ice cream from a little mom and pop shop we stumbled upon. I got the mixed berry yogurt in a cone dipped in chocolate and it was very tasty. We then headed back through the markets to see if there were any other souvenirs any of us wanted before heading towards the beach again.
Once we arrived at the beach, we headed to the opposite side of the day before where we could sit on the rocks. We were all having a great time listening to the waves crash on the rocks and soaking in the sun when suddenly we had a visitor… a man who decided to come lie down right next to us and tan… completely naked. While I luckily spared my eyes from this site because the view of him was blocked by the rocks at the angle I was at, some of my group was not quite so lucky. Thankfully he didn't stay too long and we continued to relax for a bit before heading back to the apartment.
After getting ready at the apartment, we headed to dinner at Chops Grill that we found the coupons for earlier. It was a really nice restaurant that we all could spend our leftover money on because we over-estimated how expensive Croatia was going to be. It was nice, though, because we could all relax and not worry about expenses for our last night out as a group. I ordered a caprese salad, surf and turf with baked potatoes and grilled veggies, with lemon sorbet for desert. We had a nice dinner, concluded with a free shot from our sassy (and flirty with Amanda) waiter and then headed back to the apartment to pack up to head back to Lugano for the last time :(
