The town of Split with some of the remaining walls
of the palace in the right foreground, built
around AD 295 by Diocletian who was Roman
Emperor from AD 235 to 316. He was the only
Roman Emperor to "retire", and this was the place
he chose to go and grow cabbages.
 The main reception/entrance hall of the
palace

 The Croation navy comes out to take a look at us in
their submarine. Unclear whether it's an umbrella to keep the
sun off, or keep the water out when they
dive.
