Greetings, two posts for the price of one today. We arrived in Split yesterday, jetlagged and hungry. After a quick bus ride we arrived at our hotel. What made the hotel special was that it is part of what was once Diocletian’s palace. What I am told, Diocletian built the palace as his private residence, this palace is the backbone of Split today.

My new friend for the next 11 days, it is pronounced O-shusk-ko, Pivo means beer.
