From Bryon’s blog:

This morning, we rode a bus from Dubrovnik to Split. With stops, the ride lasted about 4 hours. The bus/train/ferry station in Split is very convenient to all the tourist sights in the harbor area and is located just off the east end of the Riva (main pedestrian street of the harbor area).  Valerie and I lugged our backpacks about 15 minutes to the other side of the Riva to our apartment, Peruzovic Rooms & Apartments. The son of the owner of the apartment was extremely helpful. He walked us around the neighborhood and showed us how to find the local restaurants, supermarkets, and attractions. The apartment is huge compared to yesterdays sobe and extremely close to the Riva (just a block away).

After settling in, we walked around to Diocletian’s Palace, which has morphed over the ages into an eclectic mix of Roman, medieval, and modern architectures. For example, the modern Split Bank building with a glass facade has a giant Roman column right in the middle of the teller area. We toured the palace cellars (one used for water then used as a dump) and the “smallest cathedral in the world”.

As Valerie pointed out, Split feels more crowded and less crowded. There are certainly more people, but the roads are wider and there is less human and traffic congestion. Overall, I like the feeling of Split more. It feels more relaxed.

Would I visit again? Probably not unless on a cruise. While Split is nice, it’s just not so amazing that I’d travel around the world to see it.
