Balkans 12

 To Split

After the national park, we headed to the Croatian coast, specifically, to Split. This is an ancient Roman town. Diocletian was born nearby and retired to this city, so it has - still - his palace in the city center, now the home of sundry shops and apartments. 

We found, by divine grace and not by plan, a nice little hotel ON the beach, which had been a bucket list item for at least one of our group. The first evening and next day were quite blustery, so initial plans of heading to an island for a couple of days were postponed. The waves were big, and ferry boats sometimes don’t cross in all weather. 

Upon arrival, on the beach


An island across the water


The hotel was arrayed in Easter finery


Some people like sea food

And some don’t (me)

A walk outside after dinner
