Day 4 Morning - Wednesday 12 July - Split

We woke up to Split today, which is at the heart of Dalmatia and is famous for the World Heritage site of the roman Emperor Diocletian's Palace. We visited the cellars, which are well preserved and I stood on the raised steps where Diocletian would have looked out over the Forum to his citizens as well is the roofless room where he studied the stars. Across the Forum a group of men were singing acapella Dalmation songs. Their music was charming and they were doing a brisk trade in CD’s as they sang in their traditional blue and white striped shirts. We had opportunity to wander around the old city by ourselves. Watch out for the fabulous Gelati ice-cream stands!
