Marjan Split

... day and the first day I've worn thongs since Bruges!!!!<br>Walked to the beach and waded in the water but too cold to go swimming.<br>Went to Fife for dinner which was recommended by Peter from the hostel and also the barman on Friday night as the best place in town to get good local food at local prices.<br>Had an awesome meal of Sarma (mince wrapped in cabbage leaves) and Fozol - bean and ham dish.<br><br>Sunday went to market ...

... English, all at once, telling us either &#8220;1 minute walking&#8221; or &#8220;city center&#8221; or &#8220;50 meter to beach&#8221; or &#8220;nice room&#8221; or &#8220;come see room&#8221; in broken English. We finally settled on the guy who spoke the most English and promised us the lowest price. Of course, when he took us to his apartment so we could check it out, he had &#8220;forgotten&#8221; his low price at the dock and Andre had to ...

... who actually retired in Split. (Most emperors rule until they die but he actually had other plans for his life.) He built an enormous palace/retirement home right on the water in what is now the main town area of Split. Most of the palace is still intact yet over the years, people have been allowed to move into the walls of the palace. So now what you have is medieval homes built in the middle of the palace. Some aren&#8217;t even that old looking. There are also ...

... the town just around the bend and there is a promenade that we are looking forward to walking along&#8230;we are also hoping for some seafood for dinner! <br><br>This campsite is along the coast of Croatia just before the bigger town of Split. Yesterday, we drove from our campsite near Zadar along the coast for a couple of hours and found this spot&#8230;we wanted something that was close to a small town and also to Split, but ...

... to the winery but didn't even sample. We all went off board and had a couple of drinks on the beach before heading back onboard for a bbq.<br><br>Dubrovnik - Such a beautiful city. We wandered around the Old Town district which has a wall surrounding it. Climbing the wall you get to see the beautiful coastline on one side and the town on the inside. Filled with alleyways you can get lost in the maze of this gorgeous town.<br><br>Mljet - It is a national park. So we paid the entry fee ...

... to be pounced on straight away by old ladies wanting us to rent their room off them. We fought our way through and found our hostel which was in a awesome location right in the middle of town. To get our bearings we wandered down to the waterfront and entered the Diocletian's Palace with its maze of tight passageways. Split is really touristy and very nice indeed - the whole centre is paved with marble and palm trees help shade the numerous ...

... On the way back to the old town, I was detoured due to some road construction and of course I got a little lost, but I found an old roman aqueduct! It pays to get lost sometimes! Well, I have been waiting for this beautiful weather to arrive so I HAD TO take advantage of it and go to the beach! I followed the advice of the receptionist at the hostel and headed to Bacvice, but I did not care for it much ...

... expensive museum trip in the world when we visited these remains!! Whilst having a piccy taken, stood next to the priceless and ancient sculpture of King Dolcetian, Heather leant back of the stand, that the statue was held on.......it wobbled........it swayed.....then it rocked from side to side........Hearts in mouth time.....before it settled back......PHEW!!!! See ...

... that cost 20K and took 40 mins. 10K for accommodation. Chilled out on Bol beach which is by far the best in Croatia. Golden Sands and Blue Sea! :o) Saw 2 of the fittest little blonde bunnies in front of us who were happy to change in to thier skimpies - topdollar! Went to "Pizza Tony's" for grub and walked around the very quaint town. Sampled some lovely local fresh fruit. Our was right on the beach ...
