Wanderlust Wednesday - Split, Croatia

The Green Market in Split is a bustling epicentre of trade. It remains a traditional and cheap marketplace, where stall holders use scales with real weights to measure your purchases.

The image that stays in my mind the most are the 'garlic ladies' who hold strings of garlic to sell, shouting at their customers. The Green Market is a must visit for the freshest fruit and veg in town.


(Sorry for the delay in posts, irregular internet and a tumultuous month in London are my excuses but I'm now back on track!)

Wanderlust Wednesday - Dubrovnik, Croatia

You can't visit Dubrovnik and not complete the walk around the city's walls. Dubrovnik's walls are a UNESCO world heritage site and were constructed in the 14th to 15th centuries to defend the city.

The walk takes under two hours, depending on your climbing pace, and offers stunning views across the terracotta rooftops of the city and over the bay. During the climb you also get glimpses into Croatian life by peeking down into the backyards of locals.
