Saturday through Wednesday was our time to sit back, be unscheduled, and try to get to know and maybe meld a little bit into Split. As I write this in the Split airport about to head back to Amsterdam, I think we were pretty successful starting with this swim Saturday morning while we were waiting to check in to our place. 
Yea, my favorite beach photo tends to be of my feet, sorry. It just seems to capture the moment for me I guess. 
And the restaurants we visited and food and drink we consumed was varied and excellent. And the best was this dinner at Portino. Angela said it was the best goat cheese salad she’s ever had, and that’s saying a lot!
And our wandering took us to many cafes where cappuccino's were frequently ordered, or in this case, an Irish Coffee. Very tasty.
We averaged almost 10 miles of walking each day and our longest day was 11 miles, 7 of which was climbing out Mt. Telegrin in the Marjan forest above. Walking is how Angela and I like to explore and experience new cities. 
Near the top of Mt. Telegrin with Split in the background. 
In the 15th century a monk built and lived in this cave near the top of the mountain, looking out over the Adriatic. It’s quite a “stoop” he had! 
And this was the little chapel he prayed in. I’m surprised it hasn’t been turned into an AirBnB!
The Croatian flag flies high over Marjan and Split. From our time in Dubrovnik in the south, to all the islands we visited, biked or hiked on along our way, to our leisurely time in Split, we have thoroughly enjoyed our visit, our experiences and the people we came to know. We are now ready to head home as we always say, “There is no place like home!”.
