We left Makarska at 7.00 a.m. and arrived in a cove near Omiš as Omiš itself was too busy for our boat. As I understand it, the captain had anticipated this and had hoped to be early enough to avoid it, but it was not to be so and he needed some locals on the land to help him berth.
We rode into Omiš through the Old Town while it was still quiet.
Then along the pretty valley of the Cetina River to Radmanove Mlinice via 3 tunnels where we had a coffee break.
Back in Omiš, we locked up the bikes and climbed up to the Mirabella Fortress with its views over town. This first pikky is a panoramic by My Friend.
They love their pomegranates - many of the gardens have at least one tree.
We arrived into Split mid-afternoon and spent the rest of the day being tourists - did the Diocletian's Palace, etc.
And found a great wine bar and had the only Croatian white wine we've had. It was excellent (a 2009 chardonnay from near Zagreb, the capital). Well worth the wait.
After dinner with most of the group from the boat, My Friend and I revisited the Diocletian's Palace to find it ethereal by night. Just lovely.
