Gorgeous Views - Split

Hello Split! We walked to the promenade at dusk and a beautiful double rainbow greeted us. The second rainbow isn't visible from my photos. Split looks vastly different from the european cities and this was a really refreshing sight. A fishy smell hung over the area close to the sea so that was a tad unwelcoming. Perhaps it was due to the fish market that closed just before we arrived. Nevertheless, our breaths were taken away by the beauty of this place. I've heard from others that Dubrovnik is more beautiful than Split so that place is next on my must visit list.

En route to Split. Just a side note that Croatia is difficult to get around without a car. We rented one and that inflated our budget a bit. The alternative is to take a bus via plitvice but we decided against it due to a variety of reasons. I wish there are trains linking the different cities. But nevertheless, it was fun going on a road trip, taking detours due to accidents on road, getting lost and going through dilapidated towns that looked frozen in time.

So there, more lovely pictures to capture the beauty of Split from the promenade. I really enjoyed the view from here. We ventured on to the Diocletian palace after dinner. My camera takes poor quality pictures in low light so I dont have any nice ones to share. Most of the shops within the palace compound were closed at night so we didn't get to see much. Due to unforeseen detours enroute, we arrived in time only for dinner in Split which was really a pity. We could have done a day trip or two to Hvar island which is again highly recommended.

Viola, here is our dinner place -Fife, recommended by the lady at our hostel. It was a bustling place, filled with tourists occupying two seating areas. The prices were reasonable but the food wasn't that tasty.

The gnocchi was really tasteless and unappetizing. It was edible when dipped in the sauce from the beef stew below.

This was a good old comforting stewed beef in sauce. 

Here's their mixed fish grill with calamaris for three persons. The fried calamaris were crunchy and salty. A little too salty towards the end. The trout and sea bass was too fishy. All wells, dinner was passable but I wouldn't return to Fife the next time I return to Split.
