We didn't have any classes on the Monday of Easter so we had an extra long weekend! We decided to use it to go to Split, Croatia which, was a 12 hour bus ride...Once we arrived Friday morning and dropped our stuff off at our hostel (the nastiest one we had to stay in so far) we headed straight for the beach. We chose to go to the one that was all sand while the rest of them were rocks. It was absolutely beautiful!! It was really cool to look out into the water and see mountains all the way in the distance which, obviously never happens at home. The water was completely see through and very shallow. You could walk out so far and it still wouldn't pass your knees. We laid out listening to music and tanning all day. It worked out perfectly that there was a bar right behind us too. Even though it was freezing me and Alyssa even went into the water a few times. I was pretty proud of myself. At night we did the bar crawl that bus2alps set up. It was awesome because most of the bars were along the coast. I had sooo much fun! It was ten times better than the one that we did in Prague in my opinion.

The next morning we had to meet early for the booze cruise that we signed up for. Although the weather wasn't great we all still made the best of it. We stopped at two different islands throughout the day and got to explore around them for a little while. Once we got back to Split we were starving. We went to this restaurant near our hostel and I ordered a steak with rice that was probably one of the best steaks I have ever had in my life. 

We decided to go to mass on Easter Sunday even though it was pouring rain. There were plenty of churches all over so we just randomly chose one. It was packed. Somehow we all managed to still grab seats near the front. It was completely different compared to home. They literally had an electric guitar that would play each song. We all agreed that we felt like we were in a rock concert with the way everyone was singing and dancing. Even though it was in a different language we were still able to get the general idea of what was happening. I was really glad we went and tried something that was out of our comfort zone. After that we went to Diocletian's Palace where scenes from the show "Game of Thrones" were apparently shot. 

On our very last day we got to visit Krka National Park for a few hours before heading back to Florence. I honestly think that it was the first waterfall I have ever seen in my life. It was gorgeous!!
