On the move ..... and the rain continues

Still raining as we move on to Bol on Brac Island (keen readers will recall that we previously visited Supertar on this island - and we swam!!!!!!).  A quick wander between showers in a very nice town built around its port, but the approaching season end, and the Independence Day public holiday, meant it was quiet.

Sailed past Zlatni Rat beach (Croatia's finest) but the weather ensured it was bereft of sunbathers and swimmers (us included).  Onward to Split via another 5 course lunch and easing weather - about 19C and improving a little.  Lost 6 of our passengers in Split - Australian travel agents undertaking research, at least that's what they call it!!!!

Walking tour of Diocletian's Palace in Split, to those parts we had earlier kept in reserve, including the massive Basements, Cathedral of St Domnuis, mausoleum and the Temple of Jupiter.  Martin, our Cruise Director is very knowledgeable and is in his element as a guide. 

The Palace was constructed over 10 years, covers 31,000 square metres and contains 220 buildings.

Wandered the streets and the alleys of the Palace before a slice of pizza (need to make room for two 5 course feasts tomorrow) and a coffee for some final people watching on the Riva.
