Split was one of those surprise packages - a city for which I had no real expectations, and proved itself brilliant in all sorts of ways, from the very understated, cool vibe through to the incredible wealth of architectural history. Built basically from Diocletian's retirement home, the amazing old town has something new and fascinating around every twist in its alleys. My kind of place.
We spent a lovely evening watching the sun come down on the wanderers down at the harbour, and were lucky enough to run into a few bods we'd met at Plitvice. The luck was well distributed, as they had managed to get in late enough for all the places in town to be closed. So in the spirit of Nazareth, they agreed to stay with the barn animals (well, I'm pretty sure I snored like one after a couple of beers watching the Croatia Euro 08 game on the screens down at the water front). A great couple of days, Split definitely gets on to the return list.
