We only had a short time in Split, yet I think we've seen most of it! There isn't actually that much to see, unless we're really missing something. We've walked around the old town, inside Diocletian's palace, about 4 times and soaked up the very Roman atmosphere.
We got a bit lost finding our hostel though, but quite enjoyed walking through some very small, authentic streets until we came upon an old woman sitting on her step and ran away (it got a bit too authentic). On Saturday night, we had dinner in a little place on the harbour which was very nice (although I am still confused as to why Black Risotto means cuttlefish risotto, I didn't even know you could eat them and I am still not convinced) and we were there for a few hours catching up on each others' lives. It was also nice to share a room with someone I knew for a change.
The following morning, after having breakfast, we had one last walk around. I climbed the bell tower to see some views of the city from above which was quite satisfying but there was just too many people and I nearly fell over more than once.

Then we walked through an indoor market where I did the necessary magnet purchasing, before we had lunch (a sandwich with no butter) and then went to the bus station. If Croatia wants to continue to be a tourist destination, they really need to expand their airport and bus stations, as they were about the size of a postage stamp and about as organised as rabbit's tea party. We did eventually get on the right bus and it is quite comfortable actually!
See you in Zagreb
