Going To Trogir

Yesterday we went to the bus station to see if we could get a bus to Trogir, a small old town reached by a bridge with narrow streets of houses made from white limestone. 

The fort at Trogir

We found out that the there weren't any seats available for an hour. So we went to the local bus station and caught a local bus there instead.

The bus ride took a long time and it was quite boring.

When we got to Trogir we walked around a bit and looked at an old run down fortress and climbed the highest tower and got a great view of the town.

When we were done looking at the fortress we went to a small restaurant and had pizza for lunch. The pizza was a little bit salty but it was ok. 

Then we went to the bus station and and caught a bus home after walking around a bit. 

When we got off the bus we went and had ice cream. 

We went back home after the ice cream and had a rest.

Later in the evening we went out for a stroll and had a small pasta dinner, in a friendly restaurant in a small square with someone around the corner playing guitar atrociously.  

We Go And See Roman Things

Did I really climb this?

Today we went to a palace that had been turned into residence that had been built for the Roman emperor Diocletian who ruled for 26 years.

We saw two people dressed up as Roman legionaries.

We went up the bell tower. It was really difficult to climb the bell tower because the steps were really large and steep. It was a fair bit of a hike to get to the top. It was worth the climb because there was a great view and you could see the whole town.

After the bell tower we went to the cathedral but it was really small.

We went to the cathedral's crypt which was nice and cold. It wasn't very interesting but there was a well full of cash.

Even Lucy made it.

The view made it worthwhile.

When we got out of the crypt we sat down and had a drink of water. Meanwhile the man who was letting people into the crypt caught a small lizard and gave it to me to hold. It was a type of lizard which could regrow its tail. The lizard was fine but a little bit of the tail was gone but the tail will grow back.

No lizards were hurt in the
making of this picture

After we saw some under ground tunnels which was basically a mini tourist market.

When we had finished looking at the palace we walked around a bit and found a place called Chop's Grill and I had some chicken fingers. What was funny was that under the title of the dish in the menu it said better then McDonalds... it was the funniest thing I heard that day.

Then we went to the apartment and had a break and then we went out for ice-cream.

Off To Split!

Today we went to a museum called The Mimara which had a private collection of statues, glasswork, and paintings. We saw a really big Greek statue that had been recovered from the bottom of the ocean and was very well preserved. It had only one finger missing. 

After the museum we went back to the hotel and got our bags and headed off to the train station to get our train from Zargreb to Split. 

When we got to the train station we found out that something was wrong with the train tracks and we had to go part of the way by bus. 

After the bus ride we waited around for the train and had a simple lunch.

Finally we got on the train and I read my comic books and looked out of the window a little (mostly the only things I saw were trees and mountains).

When we finally got to Split we checked into the hotel room and went out to a nearby restaurant and had pizza. The milk in Split tastes horrible by the way so don't have any milk while you are in Split.
