We just arrived, but time to Split

After a very gentle overnight passage down the Adriatic Sea, we docked this morning in Split, Croatia. We didn’t have any formal excursions on our agenda today so we just walked off the ship and poked around the old town and port area.

The big thing in Split is the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Roman Emperor Diocletian’s Palace, who had his retirement “home” built here after he left Rome & politics behind him. It comprises the Old Walled Town centre of Split and is an impressive place to wander around for being 2000 years old

Split has an exceptionally busy port, there are boats and ships of all sizes everywhere. Tons of tourists downtown today and the bars and restaurants were very busy taking advantage of the late summer weekend crowds

Another “warm” one at 33C so we got ourselves back on board by 2pm to chill out. We have a new entertainment team onboard and their first show is tonight. We met one of the performers of the new team in a lounge yesterday and recognized each other . . . she was on our Amazon River cruise last year so we look forward to seeing her perform again

Sea day tomorrow, Greece is coming up next.Read more
