Split…actually I’d like to stay

So, after all that food we still managed to waddle around Split. what a beautiful city ! I’m always fascinated with port cities. Especially those with lots of ferries taking people to all sorts of places. Cities like Istanbul and Seattle and Hong Kong where I can literally just sit in a cafe by the port and watch ferries depart for places I’ll probably never get to. Split is that kind of place.

Split also is a place to wander. Evolved from the Emperor Diocletian’s palace built in 305 AD the city was literally built on top of the old foundations. Building spurts from Persians and the Venetian Empire have created a hodge lodge of beautiful buildings

Of course , Split was also where they filmed a lot of Game of Thrones. It was the setting for the slave city of Meereen and the site where the dragons were caged up until freed by Daenerys . It was fun to ramble through the ruins of the castle and remember the various scenes filmed there

Loved Split and will definitely put this on the return list. Maybe , I’ll even take one of those ferries someday.
