5) SATURDAY, 2 JULY
1977 : 188 KMS. - SPLIT
Around noon, leaving ZADAR along the Adiatic coastal road to BIOGRAD, PIROVAC, SIBERNIK until we reached SPLIT. Almost every town and city along the coast, with beaches or rocky shores not too steep, there were people swiming in the sea and sunbathing everywhere.

Yugoslavia is popular with those who enjoy the sun without wearing clothes but lying naked on the beach (FKK), no less than in the Scandinavian countries. If we intentionally looked in between the rocks, we might have spotted naked people.

SPLIT is a large city, many people strolling on the road along the shore, lining with palm trees planted on both roadsides. It looks so beautiful like the Mediterranean atmostphere. There were many souvenirs available, probably because of a lot of tourists there.

I spotted nice sandals with interesting weave
pattern and a single leather thumb strap, it should be traditional style. There
were also nice
decoration dishes for wall hanging, painted in a pattern with exotic color
inviting shoppers to buy. I asked for
the price of a very beautiful blouse, full-front Cross Stitch embroidered with indigenous
design, it costed up to DM 50.- ! So I
did not think to buy one. Other well-known souvenirs should
be carpets with geometric design, carved woods, table-linen
and crocheted napery. But prices were
not cheap as they are all handmade.

Here in SPLIT, I met a Yugoslav
who has worked in STUTTGART accidentally and found out that he knew my junior friend Marinsa
as well. He asked me if I wanted to join
with him and friends for sun–bathing in the morning at the end of the city point, a popular
spot for naked sunbathing and swimming.
