My lovely wife wanted to go back to Croatia, plans were made and we started our 19 day trip.
1st stop: Split Croatia - second largest city in Croatia, this lovely city lies on the Adriatic Sea. We stayed in Old Town, which is famous for the well preserved Diocletian Palace ruins. The palace was built in the third century and is the main tourist attraction.
Old Town is a maze of winding alleys, but you can never get lost as all roads lead to the sea or the famous Golden Gate.
Best to start visiting the Palace by going to the underground tunnels and then make your way to various ruins. Did not tackle the Bell Tower, but the very small Saint Domnius Cathedral was magnificent.
To get great views of the city, we felt strong and climbed Marjan Hill, visited the local beach Bacvice and often walked the Riva(seaside walkway where everyone hangs out).
Did a white water rafting trip and actually jumped from a cliff into the river (crazy Half-Day Rafting Experience on Cetina River with Cliff Jumping and more) Besides very good restaurants, we discovered one of our favorite dishes (pork knuckles) at the local market and enjoyed the meal at our lovely airbnb.
