Today we are in Split, Croatia for our final port day and was expecting all little rain in the morning.

Luckily we were not planning an early departure this morning and arrived at the breakfast buffet to see some incredibly dark skies before the rain started. Well we got rain, almost horizontal rain, for at least a half an hour. Once we found a table we grabbed some breakfast and settled in to wait for the skies to clear before heading in to town.

Since we were docked close it was just a short 15 minute walk to the edge of the old city and the market stalls.

We toured the Diocletian’s Palace along with its [Basement Halls](https:/ visitsplit.croatia.hr/en-gb/diocletians-palace-basement-halls) built in the 4th century AD. After the palace we wandered through the old city, souvenir hunting and trying the local gelato before returning the market stalls for more souvenirs then back to the ship, the pool deck and the bar.
