Hi everyone! today I want to give you more details of our first day walking around Split in Croatia, and as I told you before, the first person we saw there was @ninaeatshere, who was our great companion. We got with her around 12:30 pm so it was lunch time so the first thing we did was to go eat Ćevapi. The good thing is that Nina already had located a place where they sell them called Kantun Paulina and no doubt she made a good choice because we loved it and after that day we went to eat a couple more times there in our visits to Split.

Cuando llegamos al restaurante había cola pero realmente avanzó rápido, lo único malo es que en el lugar venden la comida solo para llevar pero eso no fue un problema para nosotros, pues como ven, nos sentamos justo al frente a comer. En este momento Nina intentaba ganarse el cariño de Olivia pero Olivia no es una chica fácil jajaja por lo que Nina tuvo que seguir intentando jajaja. Más tarde fuimos al Paseo Marítimo de Split para encontrarnos con otros hivers (abajo pueden reconocer a alguno de ellos) e ir a tomar algo, aunque algunos decidieron comer también.
When we got to the restaurant there was a line but it really moved fast, the only bad thing is that the place sells take out only but that was not a problem for us, as you can see we sat right in front to eat. At this point Nina was trying to win Olivia's affection but Olivia is not an easy girl hahaha so Nina had to keep trying hahaha. Later we went to Split Promenade to meet other hivers (below you can recognize some of them) and go for a drink, although some decided to eat as well.
Después de terminar nuestras bebidas, Olivia se puso un poco irritable por lo que mi esposo y yo decidimos ir a darle un paseo, pero más tarde Nina nos alcanzó y nos acompañó a comprar un llavero de Croacia que quería, y esto fue divertido porque fuimos donde una señora que primero nos ofreció el llavero por 5 euros, y como dijimos que no porque nos parecía muy caro, mas tarde ella empezó a bajar y bajar el precio pero nosotros decidimos finalmente comprarlo en otro lugar por haberlo ofrecido tan caro desde el principio. Luego de comprarle el llavero a un precio razonable fuimos a pasear con Nina por el centro histórico de Split.
After finishing our drinks, Olivia became a bit irritable so my husband and I decided to go for a walk, but later Nina caught up with us and accompanied us to buy a keychain from Croatia that she wanted, and this was funny because we went to a lady who first offered us the keychain for 5 euros, and as we said no because it seemed too expensive, later she started to lower and lower the price but we finally decided to buy it somewhere else because she offered it so expensive from the beginning. After we bought the keychain at a reasonable price we went for a walk with Nina in the historical center of Split.
Una vez en el centro histórico, nos dimos cuenta que llegó la hora de postrear porque es que un dulce no puede faltar y para eso fuimos a una heladería elegida por Nina también llamada L'amore Per Il Gelato y donde el gelato (valga la redundancia) estaba muy bueno, sin duda ella hizo un buen trabajo como guía gastronomica jajaja gracias Nina. Mientras comíamos el helado seguimos paseando, me pareció curioso que había una tienda con muchos patos amarillos diferentes y otra cosa que me dio curiosidad fue el museo de la famosa serie Juego de Tronos pero que al final no visitamos.
Once in the historic center, we realized that it was time for dessert because a sweet can not miss and for that we went to an ice cream shop chosen by Nina also called L'amore Per Il Gelato and where the gelato (worth the redundancy) was very good, no doubt she did a good job as a gastronomic guide hahaha thanks Nina. While we ate the gelato we continued walking around, I found it curious that there was a store with many different yellow ducks and another thing that made me curious was the museum of the famous series Game of Thrones but in the end we did not visit.
También en Split vimos la estatua de Gregorio de Nin, que según habia visto en un vídeo, hay que frotar el dedo pulgar y pedir un deseo que se va a cumplir, no sé si sea cierto o no pero yo lo hice jajaja y como todavía quedaban un par de minutos para ir al bar donde sería el primer encuentro con los hivers para las bebidas de apertura del Hivefest entonces decidimos ir a tomar una cerveza con Nina y pasear por el mercado verde que por la hora ya no quedaba mucho de este y finalmente ya saben lo que pasó y como nos divertimos mucho tomando unas ricas bebidas en el bar Paradiso para luego volver al apartamento a descansar para los próximos días seguir disfrutando del Hivefest.
Also in Split we saw the statue of Gregorio de Nin, which according to what I had seen in a video, you have to rub your thumb and make a wish that will be fulfilled, I do not know if it is true or not but I did it hahaha and as there were still a couple of minutes to go to the bar where would be the first meeting with the hivers for the opening drinks of the Hivefest then we decided to go for a beer with Nina and stroll through the green market that by the time there was not much left of it and finally you know what happened and how we had a great time having some good drinks at the Paradiso bar and then back to the apartment to rest for the next few days to continue enjoying the Hivefest.
