The journey across the Adriatic was a little more "up-and-down" than I had anticipated. And, although I didn't get sick, I needed to detach my sea-legs before walking on land again.

I bought the cheapest ticket on board and slept on a bench in the bar. Not many people were on board, so it was quiet. When I awoke, I the Croatian coast was in sight and the sun rising slowly over the city of Split.
