Day 8 Split
After breakfast today we left for Split, on the way we stopped in the town of Sibenik. We had a short tour of the town and visited St Jacob's Cathedral, a 15th century UNESCO protected building. As it was Sunday there was a service starting and we listened to the choir before leaving. A short stop for refreshments and a walk around to soak up the atmosphere in another beautiful old town, where they were the first to get electric light.
We then drove to a beautiful seaside town called Primosten, one of the most famous and picturesque small towns on the Adriatic. After walking up to the top of the hill to view the town we explored the stone houses, churches, narrow alleys and lanes around this old town. The beach was very stony but beautiful, the day was warm and sunny. We had lunch right on the seaside watching the flash boats come in and out.
Then we were onto Split, the second largest city in Croatia, located in the heart of the Dalmatian coast and set on the azure waters of the Adriatic Sea, with the coastal mountains in the background.
We ended the day with dinner at a restaurant in Split with our group as two ladies leave us tomorrow and two couples joined, one from States and one from Sydney, so we will enjoy getting to know some more people. The two ladies leaving (Annette and Diane) have been great fun and we will miss them, but will keep in touch I'm sure.
