I'm ready!
This bag will make sure I am not lost in the crowd.
It made quite a splash at breakfast!

Really enjoyed the walking tour of Trogir.
I had walked it a lot on Thursday but this way you get all the history.
We saw the old gate that used to be locked at night.
Some people were locked out because they arrived late so they built a shelter so they could camp until morning.
The old part of Trogir was built around 1300 but there have been settlements here for thousands of years.
1.5 metres down they keep finding Roman ruins etc.

See the photo of the Bell Tower?
Our guide was telling us that the building looks slightly wrong because originally there were supposed to be 2 Bell Towers.
I like that photo.
I think the second Bell Tower is there in spirit.

And she particularly pointed out the washing in the courtyard.
All quite normal.
Everyone knows everyone.

When I arrived on Thursday, one nice boat pulled up and moored.
Today there are dozens of them.
Saturday in Trogir.
People had to walk across 3 and 4 boats to get to the shore.
These are all tour boats.

There were still the board games that were carved in the marble hundreds of years ago.
There was a chess board as well.
( I would have taken a photo of it but someone sat on it before I could!)

There was also a wall built down the centre of many of the narrow streets to divide the rich and the poor. You can see the marble cobble stones going in a different direction where the wall was.

After the tour, I watched the most amazing busker.
He was an older man and Croatian.
And a large group of young men had gathers around him singing and applauding.
He would be singing in Croatian and the launch into a Beatles or Bob Dylan song.
' Yellow Submarine' had them dancing in the aisles.
It was absolutely wonderful to watch!

Found an amazing jewellery shop.
All handmade by the nicest lady.
I bought a necklace.
I love it.

Fruit for lunch.
Planning on an egg and lettuce roll in Split.
Last time I had that it took 20 minutes to convince the lady in the shop that I didn't want anything else in it.
She'll probably run when she sees me.

A bit overcast, but warm.
Hope the rain holds off.
Going to Klis Fortress soon!

No rain.
Very sunny and warm.

See the next entry for the Klis Fortress tour.
Absolutely AMAZING place!

OK
After Klis Fortress, we drove to Split.
Oh ...
I want to go back and start again.
Everywhere I turned bought back memories!
And I only left on Thursday!!!

On the plus side, as our tour guide led the group down through the basements of the Palace ( the underground market ) I shot off and bought a huge ice cream in a cone and caught up with them 20 metres in.
I got some strange looks and 'where did you get that!'
And the ice cream was delicious!

The tour was great.
Learnt a lot about all the places I had wandered and gazed just a few days ago.
And I wandered the Riva.
But sad really.
On the plus side, we have a free 2 hours there tomorrow before we catch the ferry to Hvar.

Then back on the bus to a restaurant for dinner.
There are 2 couples from Wollongong in their early 50's that I have fun with so we had a funny night.

No restaurants to write home about yet, Emily.
Nothing like Turkey but just because the country is so different I think.
None of those high up restaurants with spectacular views.
The first night we ate inside the walls of old Trogir so no view at all. An outdoor restaurant. Nice place and lots of atmosphere because it was night and still lots of passing pedestrians.
And tonight had a nice view of moored yachts.

Home by 9pm.
Packing the case.
Leave for Split at 10.30am
