Kastel 1700 Split

... so a lot of people in Split would have gone back to their villages or home town for the weekend.<br>Also explains why the graves in Zagreb looked so good the day too.<br>Went to Gaga which the barman at the first bar said if any place would be busy, that place would be and it was dead.<br><br>Saturday walked around the market, got Burek for breakfast and then up a bunch of stairs to get a good look over Split. <br>Such a beautiful ...

... were stepping off the ferry, hoards of people were shouting to us, &#8220;Do you need accommodation?!&#8221; It was all the locals who have sobes. They all wait at the ferry dock to &#8220;attack&#8221; tourists when they are walking off the plank. We then had to choose between three different people who had gotten to us, all trying to convince us to rent their place simultaneously. It&#8217;s really hard to listen to three Croatians who barely ...

... our room. We arrived at night so we pretty much just got ready and went to bed. We were only staying one night because we read that there wasn&#8217;t much to do in Split if the weather wasn&#8217;t too great (and it wasn&#8217;t- it was chilly and cloudy). <br><br>So the next morning we checked out and still had a few hours before our impromptu bus ride to Mostar, Bosnia. We spent that time exploring Diocletian&#8217;s Palace. Diocletian was a famous Roman ...

... an hour as they swam amongst the few boats. The sun has been shining all day and we have done absolutely nothing! After breakfast we walked down to the beach, which is just a short walk from where we have parked at the campsite. Then, we played a board game and had lunch, followed by going for a swim in the ocean and relaxing on the rocks. We are about to catch the ferry from our campsite into the small town of Trogir; we can ...

... either a piece of fruit but some days we had chocolate mousse or some other yummy treat.<br><br>After lunch it would be more of the same boat life. Until reaching port for the evening. We would arrive sometime in the afternoon. Enough time to explore the town before the sun went down and take a couple of photos. Here is the order of the towns that we went to.<br><br>Hvar - already told you about htat<br><br>Trstenik - Very isolated village which didn't really have much to offer. We ...

26th June - Zagreb to Split<br> We stocked up on supplies at the supermarket and bakery before making it to the station to catch the train to Split. The conductor wouldn't let us on the train until we had reserved a seat so we obliged and hopped on. It was a fancy tilting train which was great apart from we were sat facing backwards and so it was like being on a rollercoaster except this one lasted 5 hours! Feeling kind of strange we got off at ...

... over 1km away I headed off to discover this ancient roman city. It looks like there still is some work being done excavating parts of the city. Some of the key stops along the route are the Baths, what looks like a burial site, a cathedral, the Amphitheater, and the theater. All in all I am glad I took the time to go and discover this site. I walked around for about 90 minutes and the time really flew by. It was very ...

... attention: The old town was formerly a Palace in which people resided in and worked and also fled from war. The palace then grew and grew over the centuries and it eventually became a town, Split. The town centre is still surrounded to this day although the centuries have taken their toll, it remains a gorgeous town. So there you go!! We did however, nearly have the ...

Yesterday we drove from Florence up to Bologna then down to Ancona to catch the overnight ferry across to Split. We woke this morning just as we were arriving into Croatia. We had to zigzag through the islands to get here and the best defining feature is that it is SUNNY!!! Split is not our final destination today ...

Walked around Split town centre whist waiting for the Boat. Split is a very picturesque town with a shedload of outdoor markets - just really nice bimbling along the streets having a nose! I made a fine purchase of a sarong (well that's what I used it for anyway) - it was actually a small towel sheet! Boat to Brac (23K) took 40 mins. Then comedy ran to catch a sweaty bus to Bol (also known as ...
