Friday evening June 29 back at Komiza on Vis.

Written by Jack van Ommen on June 29th, 2012

I spent a couple more hours early this morning in  Split. And then headed back for Komiza, where I was the previous weekend, participating in the annual regatta of the Sardine race to Palagruza. I plan to clear out of Croatia here, tomorrow or Sunday morning and head for the Italian east coast. The two weeks I spent in Croatia will for ever remain highlights in my voyage. Particularly the short visit I made to Sumartin, on the island of Brac, where many of the Puget Sound Croatian pioneers have their roots.

The Split Cathedral of Saint Domnius is unique. Photographs are not allowed in the cathedral. It is one of the oldest churches in Europe. Built on the foundations of a Roman Palace/Mausoleum of the third century. The Aya Sophia in Istanbul is from the same era but of a higher pedigree.
