BTA part six - Split - Croatia
This place was a complete surprise too! A beautiful port with huge ships docked along the quay, an impressive marble walkway and more of the markets, tiny streets, sunny squares and interesting shops that I love.
We were here for one night and most of a day waiting for a ferry to the island of Hvar. A day spent pottering round in the warm sunshine with the inevitable coffee stop now and then.
blue skies
beautiful coast
we were going to spend two days in a real house with a cooker so I bought vegetables, fruit and salad - all so fresh and wonderful.
John decided it was time to part with the beard
this was very brave as the barber had no English and a cut throat razor - but he was really good - no blood!
and yes - the sky really was that blue
off on this one for the next part of the journey
more on Flickr!
The photos are lovely and John was so brave.

How beautiful! I'm so glad you posted this because in my mind Croatia is war torn and ugly....such a beautiful place!!!
Thank you for changing my attitude with your latitude.
