Day 6: Kostrena, Krasica and Skrljevo and a drive down the Damatian Coast

We fell asleep pretty easy after our travels and visit with cousins.  We were invited to breakfast at Teta Anica's.  After breakfast the plan was to go to my grandmother's house and gravesite of relatives.

Thank goodness for google maps, Drew got us to Kostrena, where everyone was waiting for us to have breakfast.  Great cheeses and meats, lots of laughs, hugs and tears!!  Anica made coffee just like Grandma Randich, 1/2 milk 1/2 sugar and 1/2 coffee!!  Loved it!!

We enjoyed our time and then Franjo and granddaughter Antonija (20) took us to Grandma Randich's house in Skrljevo.  We met up with an aunt living in the house.  This is the house my grandmother was born in 1899...

Then we visited some gravesite and learned more about family lineage.  I need to get back to do family research!!

Drew and I finally got on the road to Split around 1:00 and drove the coast, arriving around 5:00 to a Airbnb location within the walled city of Split called Vida.  Very very nice!!  Had a wonderful dinner inside the wall and crashed into bed!
