Split 11/09

Cool day in a super cool place today.

Arrived in split yesterday on the bus, all a bit sticky and uncomfortable, but having found a hostel close to the old town and enjoying the first bed in a week we headed out early this morning to check out the town.

Although it seems a little rough around the edges coming into town by land, the old town and the docks are just a little bit special. Even an adventure man such as myself was a little taken aback by the purity of the roman ruins as we wandered around, and some of the views from the hill that overlook the town ALMOST took the words out of nicks mouth of all people.

What has made me love this town so much is the mixture of ordinary people and sheer beauty, right in town is yet another fantastic crystal clear sea, only five minutes walk from the markets and housing blocks.

Never do you feel threatened, and the place is dirt cheap. Tomorrow we're off on a boat trip to the blue lagoon before saying goodbye to nick on Thursday. After our final bed-sleep before the arrival of miss brown!
