I mentioned this offhandedly the other day, and it’s something I have to remind myself of whenever I’m tempted by a resort type holiday. Let me explain. It all started in 2011, aka that time we stayed in a resort down the road from Split, in Croatia… It had been a busy time (I think; I honestly can’t remember) and we thought we’d give a beach holiday a try, having been city break people up until that point. I found a hotel deal, off we went, and then we realised there was an actual real life living breathing Roman palace…
What do you do when you’ve got three hours before your flight leaves from Split airport, and you’re about 45 minutes drive from Split itself but passing the motorway exit for somewhere called Trogir? If I’d been behind the wheel that day, I’d have put my foot down and gunned it for Split.
