We took the 4:30 pm Ferry from Dubrovnik to Split. We were the 5th and last stop of the 4 1/2 hour trip. We were picked up and checked into our hotel, Marriott Le Meridien on the Adriatic Sea beach.

Our hotel is a ways outside of Split, so we took a taxi into Split for our walking tour of the old city. We entered through the Golden Gate. The whole area was once the Diocletian's Palace, both public and residential areas. We were walked through this city to the other three gates - bronze, iron and silver.
After the walking tour we bought tickets to climb to the top of the bell tower, go in the Split Cathedral and the Temple of Jupiter.

We had a wonderful late lunch in the old city. Don had seafood fettuccine and I had risotto d'imi (risotto with seafood.
We took a taxi back to the resort and had time at the pool and the Adriatic Sea. We had a delicious dinner at the resort at 7 Palms.

Friday, August 26 - Our 50th Anniversary!
We so looked forward to just hanging out at the beach and pool and that's what was planned for our anniversary day. For 3+ weeks we've been on the go with excursions, walking tours, cathedrals, ruins, and more ruins. The hotel surprised us with a delivery including a cake and champagne. We had dinner at a lovely restaurant at the resort at the harbor area.
