Bacvice

Met Ivica at the Riva he took me to Bacvice, a nice beach to the east of the ferry terminal and train station. We sat in a great café looking out over the beach (one of the few in Split). Having slept decently and already had a cup of tea with breakfast, I tried the hot chocolate, having heard from previous Fulbrighters that their children had loved the chocolate in Croatia, describing it as hot chocolate pudding. Indeed it was. Whether this was the best in town, I don’t know. Nicola joined us, and I learned that it is Ivica’s birthday. – the first person I’ve met who is a leap baby. Today he turns 9!
Later as I get back to the apartment, I find the fridge delivery guy pulling up. But they only deliver to the curb. They will charge extra (“only a little”) to get it into the apartment (turns out to be 60 kuna). It looks fine, but turns out that they aren’t the ones taking away the old fridges. Both of these bulkily huddle in the kitchen by the stove, taking up most of the space.
