Split

A quiet day wandering the streets and discovering most things closed ten minutes before I arrived at them. I did get to walk through Diocletian's Palace though, which is not quite as described in the guide books. These always make it seem as if shops and cafes have been set up inside an actual surviving Roman building but in fact it is more like the walls of the palace were used to mark out the later streets but most of the buildings are quite a bit later. There do appear to be bits of the original structure, particularly round the cathedral though.





Thanks to being out of season I appear to have an entire hostel to myself, even the manager is only here intermittently.
