OK, I know it's been a while - we're recovering, you see.
Anyway, let's get on with the catch up...
We leave the group campsite early, taking an easy saunter down to Trogir - well, easy until the last couple of kilometres down a busy narrow road, over a narrow bridge with a hairpin bend for good measure. 'Wow, haven't seen such a long caravan before' says the campsite reception girl. Wonder why. Still, there are quite a few pretty big (mostly German) motorhomes here - and very nice indeed it is, too. The site has it own private (gravel) beach and a laid back air. Perfect for the relaxation we need for a few days.
Trogir itself is a lovely little town with an ancient walled part facing onto a modern harbour with a few superyachts for good measure; just in case we'd forgotten Croatia is in the EU and prospering.
The campsite's in the woods
Trogir
Bells, big bells
Museum of sculptures
Different takes on how to design a superyacht
We take the Touareg into Split and are surprised by it's size and very high density living - outside the old quarter, that is. We visit the must sees, including a climb up the bell-tower of the cathedral for a brilliant view of the city. We buy the all-in ticket for the Cathedral and associated parts including the crypt; it's surprisingly small as it started life as s mausoleum. After the best part of a day here, it's easy to see why people are captivated by this place. After being one of only two Brit units in the campsite, we're surprised by the large number of British in Split. There again, there have been a heck of a lot of Easyjets descending over the campsite...
The Cathedral in the old town, Split
His name is on the statue... Google!
Through the city wall
Not sure John the Baptist is too pleased to see us in his Chapel... Take a closer look.
View from the Cathedral
Heading off to Krk on Sunday so next post from there, all being well.
