    Split. Home of the Diocletian palace. Guess where we stayed? The Palace was a maze of old buildings, stairs ( always stairs) alleys and architecture of Roman times long gone. We stopped here for just one night. It was a great opportunity to say final farewells as Angie departs for home the next day. We enjoyed a very informative walking tour of the Diocletian Palace , the Cathedral, the only surviving sphinx and a fascinating history of Romans, Venetians and Christians. We enjoyed a walk on the beautiful Split Riva in the evening, watching the mix of tourists young and older, and admiring the fashionably dressed locals. From Split we hired a car the next day and drove to Zagreb , our final destination before flying home. In Zagreb we caught up with Kostana and her sister in law at a very authentic Croatian restaurant. The meal was truly magnificent and followed by a night tour of Zagreb. It was a great way to finish an amazing trip of this tiny but exceptionally gorgeous country. We saw some fabulous sites, stayed in amazing places, met gorgeous people, ate delicious foods , journeyed the footsteps of our parents , walked 100’s of kilometres and loved it. What a trip.Meer informatie
