Searching for
Split

Split, Croatia By now we were mostly acclimated to the Croatian heat. We stayed in a very nice apartment and spent the day exploring the Old City. Many ancient things to see, including the old walled city upon which the city was built. From Split we took a day trip to the Island of Hvar. - (87) - (1) more edit 2019-06-23 - rec# 605

We stayed at an airBnB in Split. We had a great apartment with a balcony where we ate our breakfasts. The owners of the house lived there with the wife's mother. A delightful old woman who spoke no English. She spoke Croatian and Italian, and we spoke nether. But we were able to communicate just fine. There was a nice restaurant down at the marina (where Deb could get her greens), and there was a futbol field just across the road. Just past that there was a beach where you could swim. Split is built on the ruins of an old Roman palace. We walked to town to fine the old palace. It's a whole different world to be in a city build around structures that are thousands of years old. Most of the Old City was re-constructed and was a great place to explore. From the city of Split one can take a ferry to the island of Hvar. It's a place where the mega-rich like to party. It's also the location of a monastery. Life is full of interesting contradictions. We wandered around looking at churches, and then stopped for lunch, and returned to Split.
