Split, Croatia

So, this is a very short blog tonight because we spent 6 hours driving to Split from Rovinj.  By the way, we had a great driver the last few days.  He goes by the name of Dom and he was terrific.  He actually learned the locations of two new hospitals thanks to Tom Roddel.  At breakfast this morning, Tom's hand was more swollen and his discomfort was really escalating.  We all decided we needed a second opinion!  We feared the first X-ray machine might have been so old that you wouldn't be able to see a hairline fracture.

So our terrific travel agent, Arlene Feen, contacted our guide in Split.  When we arrived this afternoon they took Tom to a private clinic for another opinion.  And no, it really isn't broken... It is a very bad contusion and it's very inflamed and swollen.  He's on a prescription anti inflammatory and pain meds. He should recover in the next 5 days.  Whew!  Everyone couldn't have been nicer or more helpful!

We have delayed our walking tour until tomorrow.  I'll have much more information tomorrow night!  We are staying in a hotel that was part of the palace grounds that were here.  It's charming and the pedestrian only streets are filled with shops and restaurants.  We are staying right on the harbor.  

Dinner at a local restaurant.  Yum!  

Studying the menu!

Driving to Split, a glimpse of the Adriatic Sea.

Lunch at the hotel with a modern menu on a mini iPad, while we await the news from Tom on his hand!

No, he's not pregnant!  This is the ultrasound they did on his hand!  Lol!

Night until tomorrow!
