We changed our itinerary to spend one night in Split and only two nights in Zagreb.  We collected a hire car (a nice little VW Polo which behaved perfectly) in the new part of Dubrovnik which we thought looked really attractive.  We instructed Dulcie to take us to Split, and away we went.  The drive takes about three and a half hours and the road hugs the coast, which is absolutely spectacular.  If there had been opportunities to take photos we would never have arrived at our destination but the road is windy and we were against the rock face so couldn’t stop.  We have never ever seen such a gorgeous coastline.  We took a lunch break at Baska Voda where there were lots of tourists enjoying the beach.  The rocky mountains seem to be part of film set.  They stand out so clearly against the sky.
