Split and environs




Drove down the coast from our little village of Serget Donji to the Makarsa Riviera, 60k's of coastline dotted with beaches and bays and coves and beautiful blue water.  It was hot, hot, hot so we swam along the way...gorgeous water. It's a tiny strip of land between the sea and the towering mountain Biokovo .  Really stunning.  







Refreshed from our dip we headed back to Serget but stopped at Split along the way . 






Split is a big hub for  all the ferries out to the islands. We had thought of going out to an island from Split but think it's very touristy and will go from Trogir or from Serget...the ferries are close by leave  so may be  easier .  That said , the old town and Diocletian Palace ( erected in the 4th century)  behind the old city walls has to be seen to be believed, it's incredible. It's the second largest city in Croatia, behind the city walls is a myriad of ancient buildings, over 200 buildings of significance and more history than you can shake a stick at.  And there is still washing hung up in the alleywaysđź‘Ť.


Sculpture of the day....Gregory of Nin ....Google him....very interesting.
