On Saturday evening, I caught an overnight bus to Split. The ride was infinitely more comfortable than my last night bus, seeing as we were driving on paved roads the entire way. Everything went smoothly until we stopped at the Croatian border at around 5 in the morning. I was still sleeping when the guy behind me shook me awake to an unhappy border control officer standing over me. Being the only non-European on the bus, he took my passport to go stamp it, and before I had it back in hand, the bus started moving again. Cue panic on my part. I started up the aisle, but everything ended up fine since they had given it to one of the drivers before they left.
The rest of the trip was uneventful, other than my awe at the beautiful land and seascape of Croatia. I arrived in Split and found Tea without trouble. After getting settled in, eating, and meeting her parents, we all drove to Trogir, on the other side of the bay from Split.
