Friday 4th September - Wall Walk Half way around we came upon this lovely roof cafe so we stopped for coffee and found that here unlike Split they used either the Euro or the Kona and quoted either as a matter of fact. We continued our walk passed the port and on up then down and there was an exit that we could have taken but continued on to the finish.

The space is surrounded by a series of columns, six of which are m...

We boarded the bus and it went about 500 metres from the wharf to the Southern Wall of the Old Town and then we all hop...
