Split - night 1
9. juni 2024, Kroatia ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F
What a great way to start our first night. Easy 3.5 hour direct flight from Edinburgh to Split. A driver who picked us up and a quick dinner and to bed.

We really love that it’s a 1 hour time difference unlike our last time in Europe from the U.S. and a 9 hour time change.

The view from our balcony sets the tone.

Welcome home to Split.Les mer

Walking Around our Neighborhood
10. juni 2024, Kroatia ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
Marc headed out early today and did some shopping for our “regular” house basics. Bread, meats, cream, coffee, yoghurt and juice.

Then we both did our walk about through and around our neighborhood. The town has an amazing first feeling. Our home is a penthouse with a balcony. Sitting here I can see everything that makes Split so interesting. The Coast in front and right, the hills behind, and the beach and sky and the old town built by Diocletian between 295 and 305 ce.

This will be an interesting month.Les mer

Rain in Split Doesn’t Fool Around
12. juni 2024, Kroatia ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
When it rains in Split in the summer it rains! Buckets and buckets and huge rain drops. We are staying in for a while but I’ve got a craving for Mexican food. If it clears up enough we will venture out on a quest. There are several options nearby that claim to be Mexican and not Spanish, we will see. In the meantime comfy and dry indoors is good also.

Here’s photos from our balcony of the progression of the storm. 8:30 am-9:30am. What a changeLes mer

I’ve been lazy and have not posted since we arrived in Split. Sometimes “Slow Travel” is just about hanging out.
I have been walking around and exploring our new home. Here are some photos that I think are interesting and fun.

Krka National Park
14. juni 2024, Kroatia ⋅ ☁️ 77 °F
A bus tour with 40 complete strangers is not our favorite way to visit anything, but I can honestly say this one was amongst our best.
A reasonable start time of 8:15 was a good start.
Hour bus ride to Krka National Park where we had tons of time to walk the boardwalk path and view everything.
A 30 minute boat ride to the town of Skradin.
Here we had an hour to eat lunch and then 2 hours of wine tasting.
Everything flowed smoothly and the view and wine (actually) were really nice.
An hour and a half back to Split and we wrapped up our day.

Krka is an incredible place with waterfalls and streams that flow down. Yes, I know you are thinking gee, don’t all waterfalls flow down? Well yes and these do that, but the area is also very flat so the waterfall goes down then the resulting stream goes in several directions. Occasionally the stream does a loop. Somehow forming up with the stream again and flowing back over the waterfall a second time. It must be the flatness of the pools and streams that does it.
No fishing or swimming allowed so the fish (might have been trout) are large and very calm and happy to swim in schools.
The frogs are also cool with crazy rrrrbit, rrrrbit that kind of echo in a way where one frog sounds like several.
I highly recommend this adventure.Les mer

1 Planet 1 BagVery pretty and a boardwalk path to walk above the water. The walk didn’t have a handrail or a toe kick so it would have been very easy to fall off at any moment. The safety rules outside the U.S. are so different

In the other side of the bay is the town of Trogir. It felt similar to Split without the Palace and without sooo many tourists but still many.
Lively narrow streets and a central plaza with government building, court, and church on three sides of the plaza.Les mer

Klis Fortress
18. juni 2024, Kroatia ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F
Bus tour stop at Klis Fortress. Originally built by the Romans but added to over and over by each subsequent army. It’s such an obvious spot for a fortress.
The walls and structures seem pretty well preserved but there isn’t much substance within the walls. One room of swords and weapons and a few items in the building last used as a Christian church.
Nice views but it was very hot 36c when we were there.Les mer

Salona
19. juni 2024, Kroatia ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F
This is a Roman archeological site. Salina had an interesting history of growth and then abandonment. At its height it was home to 60,000 Roman’s but after Rome fell, the people didn’t feel safe and moved into the protective walls of the Diocletian Palace in Split about 5 km away. There are lots of walls, a few arches, the remains of a cemetery and divided out farm plots.
There isn’t a lot of explanation of what you are looking at which made the site hard to understand.
Here is some background…

Salona was first mentioned as an Illyrian town in 119 BC and it's thought that it already had walls by then. The Romans seized the site in 78 BC and under the rule of Augustus it became the administrative headquarters of the empire's Dalmatian province.

The original city spread west to the 2nd-century amphitheatre, destroyed in the 17th century by the Venetians to prevent it from being used as a refuge by Turkish raiders. At one time it could accommodate 18,000 spectators, which gives an idea of the size and importance of ancient Salona.

It was interesting that the amphitheater and the entire site was wide open. I walked down and into the center. And was able to walk in the same steps as those spectators from the 2nd century.
Very cool.Les mer

Shopping Mall
19. juni 2024, Kroatia ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F
I, Pam, have worked out that what is considered hot weather clothes in California is NOT hot weather clothes in Croatia. In other words my cotton shorts and t shirts, are too hot and too “in-styled”. I’ve decided to “cool” my wardrobe and style it up. Luckily, there is a shopping mall in Split and a free shuttle bus from the port that will get me there.
It’s taken a couple of trips on the shuttle and adventuring in the mall to buy a few things.
Linen shorts, linen pants, lighter weight shirt, pair of shoes… and I’m now styling like a European!! And much cooler, (in temp and looks).
So, clothes shopping was a bit odd as the sizes are all European, even the adidas tennis shoes I tried on were all different sizes and don’t ask about the shirts. Everything I tried on had to be in XL!
On the other hand the mall had an excellent assortment of shops: H&M, Guess, jewelry stores, electronics, a super market, flower store, butcher with fresh meat, butcher with dry aged beef, vegetables, penthouse balcony sit-down restaurant.
I jokingly said if the zombie apocalypse happened that mall could keep you happy for years.Les mer
