    Split sightseeing

    We left the ship at 9.00 this morning not sorry to be back on dry land. I think cruises of any size are just not our thing. We went to our apartment expecting to leave our bags until check in at noon but we're able to check in immediately. It's a lovely light filled room in an old house built against the Roman wall. It has everything thoughtfully provided and our own terrace.

    We split the sightseeing into morning and afternoon sessions, returning for a rest in the midday sun. This morning we ticked off the Treasury with some lovely medieval paintings, the cathedral crypt, the vestibule of the palace (where a quartet sang 4 part harmony a capella), Jupiter's temple and the imperial dining room. All of these are basically parts of Diocletian's palace that have been reused without knocking down the original buildings.
