Day 13 - Waiting for the Silver Lining in Split

Split is another jewel along the Adriatic Sea. It has a population of 170,000 people and is the second largest city on the Dalmatian coast. On the bus ride from Trogir to Split this morning, we saw lots of skyscrapers, a sight we had not seen at all on this trip. We of course, avoided all the industrial part of the city and headed straight to the Diocletian Palace, a walled old city of over two hundred buildings that still kept its medieval charm.

It was drizzling on and off throughout the day. We did not get much sunshine we had hoped for about six months since starting to plan the trip. The town would have looked picture perfect against the blue sky. We were a little disappointed. However the weather did not dampen our spirit, we still enjoyed the picturesque old town with all the quaint little houses, cafes and cobbled streets.

I completely fell in love with all the pretty windows of green and blue shutters and flowery plants hanging from the balconies. I would have to post pictures later since pictures are better than a thousand words.
