    Day 1-Split city

    April 3 in Croatia ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Arrived in Split City and had an hour to wait before we could check in to our Airbnb. Limited cooking options so we plan to buy fresh fruit at the local market which is very traditional so cash required. ATMs charge a flat fee to take out any amount of currency so we are going to go into a bank and see if that option is better. We haven't come on holiday to cook so DIY breakfast and eating out will be the norm whilst away I think.
    After a siesta (we were up at 2am to get the flight early), we went out to the old town. This place has charm in abundance with it's quaint little streets and alley ways. It looked even more pretty once the day light dimmed and the lights illuminated the old buildings and streets. Add to this the promenade with all the restaurants having outdoor seating arrangements to tempt you to sit and eat. We did eventually settle on a waterside restaurant and had locally caught fish dishes. Be warned though a glass of wine is only 0.1 litres size, puney even by my standards.    Read more

    Day 3 Split

    April 5 in Croatia ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    We caught the set of a live blues band (and danced some tracks. Blues really isn't a defined music type, anything goes as far as we can tell. Met a nice German lady who wanted me to teach her to dance but her recently repaired hip put a stop to that once I showed her some steps.... Feeling thankfull we are old but generally fully functioning body wise. 

    Then off by bus to Kasuni beach for a few hours.  Andy may turn into a pizza as he had another slice on route 😂 

    Kasuni beach is very peaceful and has amazing blue water. We did go in despite my 'ooos and ows' from the stones. It's definitely refreshing but pleased I was prepared by bringing my swimming costume. Lovely breeze as well. 

    We decided to walk back and put the bus fare towards a beer! Found a lovely stop to have said beer right on the water front and comfy chairs to boot 😁. 

    The eve was a sunset excursion to Klis fortress. It was pretty good to visit. Game of Thrones used this place as a film location.  Loved the church at the top. The acoustics sounded amazing, even our voices sounded acceptable. 

    When we got back to Split we went in search of vegetables to cook up at the Airbnb as it's fair to say our bodies were craving them. We only found mushrooms, courgette and a sad red pepper but they tasted amazing once cooked up. 

    Last day in Split as we are taking a ferry to Dubrovnik tomorrow, our stay in Split was pretty good.    Read more

    Day 2 Split (eve)

    April 4 in Croatia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    I think the sun and the atmosphere of these bars in the side street got us drinking on empty stomachs... Unknown to me Andy was 'helping' me out with my 3 pints but Andy also had 4 pints. We still managed to dance to the danceable tunes from the live band however which is quite remarkable. We got loud cheers and clapping from the crowd after dancing which was unexpected and enabled us to start chatting to a few others around us. Met 2 Canadians where one had a very impressive moustache. Even more amazing they had been married for 41yrs!!! How does anyone do that. Also met 2 brilliant Yorkshire gals who were about to start their training to become taught staff. They are so going to be on 'below deck' soon.

    Due to spending the meal budget on beers we ended up having takeaway pizza on the waterfront which was really nice. 

    Andy was very drunk and he ended up falling asleep on the sofa and I placed a bowl near him just in case. Great day!    Read more

    Day 2

    Day 2-Split City

    April 4 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    We paid for an all attraction ticket for the cathedral. The bell tower being the main attraction. Lots of steep, large steps later we arrived at the top. Amazing views rewarded us and as usual the notes of music from somewhere below pricked our ears up. We both said ' we can dance to that' and realised it was coming from a square we had seen last night that had a stage set up in it. So we hoped it would still be going on when we got down (spoiler alert, it was).
    The bells went off due to go off at 12 as they did yesterday so we got closer to them in anticipation (why not!) then waited. Andy pretended he was a cat whilst waiting, basking in the sun having a little snooze. We still had a shock at the loudness when they started (video of the cat being startled, added for comic effect).
    We then carried on with using our full ticket well. The cathedral is very beautiful and peaceful and the crypt also had its own beauty as well as it's own eeriness. Andy was keen to visit the treasury (maybe he thought it involved numbers) and as we were going around we said 'is this like an actual museum' 😱. One of the lovely things about being with each other is we both dislike similar things and museums are one! No long drawn out visits pretending to be interested for us anymore. We got out of there quickly and out to the violinist playing in the square again. So beautiful.
    We then took a walk via a gelato kiosk to Bacvice beach. Andy had a swim in his pants hoping no one noticed. He said the swim was refreshing (dipping my toes was refreshing enough for me).
    We stayed a few hours very nice indeed taking in the view. We wanted the return walk to be different so having watched people go up to the headland in the distance, we realised, majority retraced their steps. One didn't so that was enough to convince me to try it. The small cliff did slightly put me off, yes. After the goat aka Andy, managed to get up and over I followed, after several 'oh shit' moments.
    We got back to Split old town and eventually arrived at a small side street that had live music. All weekend there is a Blues festival and these bars had a band playing. Beers flowed and yes tipsiness started....    Read more

    To Split

    October 8, 2024 in Croatia ⋅ 🌬 23 °C

    Well, cruising in to Split, seeing the size, the high-rise buildings etc, we just looked at each other and said ‘I want to go back to Hvar - it’s only 1 hr away!’
    Nevertheless, we spent that afternoon mooching and shopping about the place and found the ruins of the Diocletian's Palace quite intriguing.
    The palace was a Roman fortress and palace which Emperor Diocletian built late 3rd century as a place to retire. The only Emperor to ever ‘retire’ by the sounds. It's the only living monument in the world, with people still living inside - 3000 of them still.
    It seems the medieval buildings around here are more prone to sideways movement and bulging. Some are braced up. Movement in buildings or ground?
    We have another ‘special’ accommodation. I’ll post videos at the end I think as Nicki has dutifully filmed most I’m pretty sure. This one is across from a music school so we have almost a symphony orchestra playing to us from early-ish till in to the evening.
    We were feeling over sharing city spaces with fellow tourists so made a plan to ‘get outa town’ the next day.
    Sadly I’ve not got photos of the waterfront of Split or the Port - we were just in a despondent mood and overlooked it simply because we loved Hvar so much.    Read more

    Split – Perle an der Adria

    September 28, 2024 in Croatia ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Split bietet eine faszinierende Mischung aus Geschichte und mediterranem Ambiente. Beim Spaziergang durch die engen Gassen entdeckten wir historische Gebäude, gemütliche Cafés, Restaurants und kleine Geschäfte zum Bummeln. Ein Highlight war der Diokletianpalast mit seinen beeindruckenden antiken Mauern, bevor wir an der Riva-Promenade entlangschlenderten und die Palmen, Yachten und das glitzernde Wasser in der Abendsonne bewunderten.Read more

    Trogir visit plus Split 2 nights

    September 21, 2024 in Croatia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Tired feet as well as the rest of my body. Easily did my 10,000 steps on each of the last 2 days even when not feeling great. Trogir is a beautiful old but small port town that was over run by tourists. 2 huge tour ships moored just out side the port. Plus many buses like ours (we’re part of the problem). It was quite unpleasant. No photos of Trogir
    Managed to catch a wedding on it o the way to the restaurant last night. Lots of flares.
    Split suffers from the same problem but it’s ok before 10am and after 4pm when people head back to their ship. Most of the photos are of the huge palace complex.
    Tomorrow we have a one nighter in Bosnia.    Read more
