Split















Split is a very large plce, second largest in Croatia. The harbour in the old town was stunning with a new promenade next to the Diocletians Palace. As usual every one and his dog has taken over Croatia at some time in its past.

Diocletians Palace is a Roman ruined town in itself. 3000 live in it, so it is a living mesuem. At night, having a coffee on the steps facing the still standing facade was a great experience. The footpaths of the towns we have visited have all been paved in marble, and one can't dismiss the fact thet this is the same marble those Romans were walking on. And while talking about beauty the tourists are dressed immacuately from Italy, Germany and France. We stayed in rooms which were in an apartment block only a couple of km from the coast. That gave us a lot of exercise. we are eating and drinking well. Seafood is abundant, so we have been taking advantage of being on the coast and eating lots of it. The beer is great. The Dalmatian ham, similar to prosciutto, and cheese are fantastic. Yum..
