We took the road train around Split and the peninsula.

The area is called Marjan Hill. It was scrubland until the people of Split developed it into an area for leisure pursuits.

The road train dropped us at the entrance to the Diocletian Palace and the statue of Gregory of Nin, a 10th century Croatian Bishop. If you rub his toe it is said to bring good luck so he has a very shiny toe!

Then we walked along the waterfront back to the ship, getting caught in a shower on the way!

Sea day tomorrow!

We docked at Zadar, a town on the Dalmatian Coast.

We took a coach trip to Sibenik and had a guided walk through the old town.

We drove up in the mountains to the village of Burni. Where we were welcomed by a local family with a home made lunch with wine and entertainment.

We ended up back in Zadar.

We arrived near the island of Korcula. Could not get close to shore so everyone had to get a coloured ticket to get a tender boat to the shore. 2000 people wanted to get off.

It was misty and raining with a storm forecast so I decided not to attempt it and I had a relaxing time reading, chatting to other passengers and drinking coffee.

Andy got a ticket and waited 3 hours! Then they decided it was too rough to go.

They then had to get all the people who had gone earlier back to the ship. There were hundreds waiting on the dock in the rain. One lady managed to get on a tender. It was too dangerous to get to the ship and too dangerous to go back. So they spent an hour in the little boat with people screaming and being sick!

So glad I didn’t go!

This was earlier when the sea was calm.

This is what Korcula looks like!

Weather tomorrow looks good!
