Morning Walking Tour

Our walking tour with Marco was a hit - he is in his 20s and just received his tour guide license - and brought a fresh and cheeky perspective to life in Split - where education and healthcare is "free," but at a cost; the young want to leave for life in growth opportunities; and everyone knows everyone's business.  We learned about the history of the romans, followed by 1000 years of being ruled by foreigners (French, Venetians, Italians to name a few) - and recently independence has brought a true sense of pride.  The Bosnian border is just a few steps away, which is why boat travel is necessary for our next stop - otherwise we would need to go through Bosnia to get back to Croatia, along the same coast.   There are just a few shots below of the tour.  The first is the market - and it is massive going on for several city blocks - with the most appealing fruits and vegetables; the second is one of four gates into the city;  the third photo is another music group, singing acapella - beautiful; and finally, the clock tower.
