Split, Croatia
The beautiful Croatian coast heading north from Dubrovnik to Split
Traveling north along the Croatian coast (taken from the bus)
Huge alluvial plain on the Croatian coast, with rows of mandarin and avocado trees. The Adriatic is just barely visible beyond the mountains a little in from the left
Split: the statue of Gregorius of Nin, who, in the 10th century, fought the Pope for the right to use old Croatian in liturgical services. To his left is a corner tower of Diocletian's Palace
Another view of Gregorius, who faces the wall of Diocletian's Palace. The plaza in the foreground was often filled with skate boarders
One of the entrance gates to Diocletian's Palace
Street scene inside Diocletian's Palace
Street inside Diocletian's Palace
Cathedral tower inside Diocletian's Palace
Wall of Diocletian's Palace with cathedral tower in background
Harbor front buildings in Split. The entire row from the right edge to the tall sand-colored building just to the left of center incorporates one of the walls of Diocletian's Palace
One arm of the harbor in Split
Cafés built into the wall of Diocletian's Palace. The one with the blue awning reminded us of Laurie and Steven's favorite café in Cusco, Peru
Leaving Split on the ferry to Bol
