What's that got to do with the price of bananas in Australia?












The following afternoon we caught a bus on to Split and walked to our home stay type accommodation before heading to a nearby beach for dinner. Looking out over the sea as night fell was really beautiful and relaxing. After tea we headed into the old town for a coffee. The old town which is enclosed in a massive roman palace complex is littered with ruins. We had a coffee in a cafe which used nearby steps and cushions as seating, overlooking some of the ruins. It was a very hushed atmosphere and really quite cool.
The next day we did a bit of a walk around the old town, rubbing lucky toes and trying to find various sights down sooooo many narrow, twisting romantic streets (so many, many photos). Mum found a path heading up and up we went, out of the old town and onto a great panorama of the city. You could see from the industrial/high rise part of town around to the ancient town centre and waterfront and then to some of the islands just off the coast. This is where Adam lost the bananas.


Photos: The cafe overlooking the ruins (sorry for the blurriness), The view to the waterfront from the lookout, Adam left the bananas on the bench beneath the flagpole, Somebody's bathroom window peeking out from the walls of the ancient city, This is supposed to be lucky but Adam can't help thinking how much it would tickle.

I can't believe you wasted bananas like that! They probably could have paid for me to come and visit too!!
