Day 50 Split

📅 Friday 29 May 2026

It's another rest/work day in sunny Split. Mat had a follow-up appointment for the cyst drain he had on Wednesday - the doctor was very positive about the healing and so we should be good to ride on Monday, for our next leg of the trip down to Dubrovnik. You may also notice that Mat's hair has been reinvigorated. It's pinkissimo! One of the things that really stands out about Split is the Torcida graffiti absolutely everywhere. Torcida Hajduk is the Split football team's supporters club, and the entire city is blanketed in their red and blue palette. Torcida is Europe's oldest supporters club, formed in 1950, and this number is written over every public surface. Their coverage is quite impressive.

Mat had a follow-up appointment for the surgery he had on Wednesday - the doctor was very positive about the healing. We celebrated with a bottle of Mat's favourite, Lambrusco amabile.

The Riva is the sea front promenade, lots of people go there in the evening to watch the sunset. When we visited we thought there were nasty overflows into the water but it turns out they are from the sulphurous springs under the palace.
