Dancing Organs in the Rain
... on the way north. After an hour long bus ride from Krka, I arrived in Zadar with no where to stay. My lonely planet guide said the Zadar Youth Hostel was good so I asked local bus driver how to get there and asked him to tell me where to get off. As we ...
Speed Trap
... totally unreasonable), but for some reason this morning I was just like, whatever. I had read in some countries (I couldn't remember whether Croatia was one), you just pay the fine on the spot. I happened to have plenty of cash with me since the hotel ...
Drenched in Dalmatia
... tomatoes and basked on the terrace. Woke to a thunder clap the next morning and a torrential downpour so I took the bus north to Zadar. Probably the most scenic bus trip so far, all along the coast, although it was 10pm before I landed in Zadar and ...

Peace and stress all at once

Plitvice and Zadar
... do not do these amazing lakes justice. After the complete walk around the lakes and the bus back, I eventually caught the coach onto Zadar, arriving late at night. I found the bus stop and a japanese couple were waiting for the same bus to the hostel ...
Pretty Lights!
... largely unremarkable. Before I sign off for this post, I'd like to make a correction to my previous entry, in which I said that Zadar had recently doubled for Venice in an episode of Doctor Who, when it was in fact Trogir. After Zadar, I headed off to ...
Poca actividad
... gusto la experiencia el sitio era bonito y las vistas de la costa desde el barquito tambien. Por la tarde paseabamos por Zadar. La ciudad esta llena de vida y de turistas pero carece de interes para nosotros. Lo que nos gusto fue el organo del ...

More fun in the sun
After Montenegro it was off to Croatia with our first stop in Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik is one cool city, the old town is really special and some of the beaches there are really cool. Although I still found it difficult lying on slabs of concrete when ...
Zadar
... explain what on earth the building, painting, statue or whatever signifies - without that it's not very interesting! The highlight of Zadar was listening to these organ pipes that are played by the sea - when the waves fill the pipes they make these ...
Cruising in Croatia
We are now in Zadar having spent a fabulous two days seeing various aspects of Croatia. We spent yesterday morning further exploring Zagreb, returning to some of the monuments of the Lower Town we had only seen from the bus. These included the National ...

The rest of this awesome coast
Okay, I am smushing the rest of croatia into one entry because I am getting behind. Travelling with someone else makes it hard to go in to use the internet, there are more fun things to do! But it is totally raining today and we are fed up and ...
Sunset on our Croatian experience
... during better weather than us. Our first evening was cloudy and grey and the sunset a mere pink smudge on the distant horizon. Zadar old town is set on a tiny, well fortified peninsular with nothing much natural remaining about the shape of the very ...

Baking in Zadar
We arrived in Zadar after travelling through many hills and rivers, all very pretty to look at through the coach window. In Zadar many of the buildings are terracotta coloured and in the old town the streets were all cobbled, making it a lovely place to ...
Quiet day in Zadar
... was 2 hrs away. Had I known that earlier, I would have just grabbed a place to sleep in Plitvic. Maybe I should have bought a Croatia guidebook nstead of winging it here. Not a big deal. I would grab a bus in the early morning and just see it ...
Le vol le plus court de ma vie
... "religieusement" (ahaha), mais ce qui n'etait pas eglise a souvent ete remplace par des edifices plutot inesthetiques. Zadar a surement ete un vrai terrain de jeu pour les communistes apres la deuxieme guerre mondiale, qui avait maintenant tout l'espace ...
Zadar? Z'adore!

We're F'ing Tourists!
