As planned we dropped Teresa and Greg at the airport at 1:00 I must say I felt really bad as their plane did not depart until 4:00. The drive to Split where we drop the car and catch the ferry is suppose to be about 3 hours and everyone assured us there is a nice freeway. What people didn't tell us is that for several miles we would once again be on country roads with limited passage and marginal guard rails. After a grueling 5 hours of driving we arrived at Kastel once again in search of the Villa Sullay where we had been just a week ago. As we turned down the street to approach the area of hotels we were stopped in our tracks by a wedding party marching up the street with all their finery. The next street we took was a dead end and when turning around without Greg directing, Bob managed to plow directly into a little old lady's flower pot. She was screaming at him and Bob is telling me to not worry. I got out of the car and scooped the dirt, rocks, plants and little twigs back in the pot for all I knew she could have had the ashes of some animal in there. Proceeding down the road we past the Pink Panther one of our choices a week ago but that is where the wedding party was staying. The Villa Sulluay was dark and no one was home so we ended at the Villa Katel right up the street. Upons arriving we were informed a handball team was staying there consisting of 20 young men ages 22-25 and they were on their way to a local soccer game. Sometime about 1:00 they all returned and continued to party like rock stars, not a restful night but nice hotel. Once again the weather has gone sour on us and it is raining and really windy the ferry ride on Sunday could be very interesting. We certainly miss our navigational team and I really don't care for the front seat.
