Split, Croatia


Caught a ferry from Hvar to Split and stayed in a basic hostel just near the old city walls and Dioclecian Palace. It was built as a rectangular fortress with towers at each corner. The place is buzzing with walking tours in all kinds of languages and it is quite a maze through the narrow streets. The original palace was built right along the waterfront so ships could sail right into the palace. It was built by the Roman Emperor Dioclecian as a retirement palace from 295-305 AD.

Found some time to shop for replacement trousers as clothes are starting to fall apart after 18 months and daily washes! We are about to spend time at colder temperatures than we have had to date so need to look for some warmer clothes.

Caught a bus to the airport to catch our Eazy Jet flight to London.
