Our gps is our best friend!
Wow!!! We drove from Pula to Zadar taking over four hours. Our accommodations in Zadar we extremely difficult to find... To say the least. If it was not for our gps we never never would have found it. We stayed in a apartment room which was above some ...
What the Plitvice?!
... we rolled out of bed at 7 am as we were taking a 2 hour bus ride to the Plitvice Lakes National Park. The weather in Zadar was perfect, but at the park which is over a mountain range, it was dreary drizzle. At least it wasn't pouring! We followed ...
Sali (Dugi Otok) - Bucht Lucina (Dugi Otok)
Sobald sich im Hafen die ersten Anzeichen von Wind zeigten, um 09.30 Uhr, legten wir los, in der Hoffnung, dass der Wind auch draussen anhalten würde. Denkste! Auf dem Meer war überhaupt nichts los. So tuckerten wir eben unter Motor gemütlich ...
Zadar and more
... way to the Port Gate, the beaches (which consisted of concrete), 5 Wells Square and of course the supermarket, Konzum. In Croatia, they continue to keep their own currency the Kuna. Inflation is quite high, but we were pleased to see how ...
Zwrot na południe
... ę i kierujemy się powoli do porty macierzystego. Po drodze mamy jeszcze w planach bardzo piękne nadmorskie miast Zadar. Próbujemy tu wspaniałych Chorwackich lodów oraz zwiedzamy historyczną cześć miasta. Miasto ma na ...
Doing a bunch of nothing
... and the sea, but it’s still really nice. It seems like the pace of life here in Diklo is even slower than in Zadar, which is considerably slower than Malta. Thanks to the easy-going nature of things here, people don’t generally mind if you ...
Port and manufacturing city of Zadar
... to Split, leaving this very unexceptional Eden Hotel, more like a huge motel, poorly run. We stopped at the commercial city Zadar, population about 90000, where we met our guide, Martina, who took us for a steaming walk to a boardwalk (of ...
Croatia (part one) with friends!
... of the track. The lady told us it would take us 2 hours. We did it in 25 minutes! We managed to get a 4.45pm bus to Zadar where we were meeting Shelley and Rory. We all went out and got the biggest pizza ever along with some beers and sat on the ...
Venice, Venice
The most beautiful city in the world. Visiting Venice back in the 18th century. So, in the past. The spirit of the past runs around every corner, bridge, "volts" ("tunnel" for pedestrians), square, masks, gondolas ... ...
Goodbye train travel, hello bus travel
This morning we bid adieu to Pula and hopped on a bus to Zadar which is down the coast. Train travel isn't as developed in Croatia, so we will be taking the bus throughout the country. It was a 6.5 hour journey along a windy road which hugged the ...
Zadar - I see the sea
We arrived by car in Zadar, having gone through some really long tunnels (one was over 5km). The land is very stony and dry and has very few plants. Our hotel had a great pool but we also spent a lot of time in the sea. The ocean was bright blue ...
Croatia!
After a crazy and exhausting night in Pisa, we arrived in Zadar, Croatia around noon on Friday. First things first, we found our way to Diklo, just a few minutes outside of Zadar to the apartment where we were staying. It was beautiful with an ...
Leaving Zagreb Part 1.
We'll be leaving Zagreb shortly for a short plane ride to Zadar. Croatia Airline's weight restriction of 33lbs per check on bag has Diane dumping shoes to make weight. She thought of wearing them all at one time, but then she'd probably be over the height ...
Omisalj to Zadar
... . Zadar has also recently installed a sea organ which emits tunes dependant on the movement of the sea. We are finding that Croatia is actually quite expensive, perhaps because of the exchange rate at the moment. One thing at least is reasonable ... ...
Chunder o'clock...
... i said i didn't have the money she stomped over to the door, opened it, and shouted at me to get out. 'Welcome to Croatia' i thought... When i got back Bryony was playing cards with the 'Irish' lads who turned out to be from Brighton and we chilled with ...
Bruges, Nuremberg and nearly Prague
... miss as we felt "citied-up" and wouldn’t do it justice, so set off for South Austria, Slovenia and finally Croatia. The journey through Austria was interesting and we stopped for the evening at a free Camperstop in Vordenberg, just ...
Rocky Mountain Way
Rocky Mountain Way - seemed like a good idea, until the tarmac finished and we had about 20km on rough unpaved single track over the mountain tops. Slightly alarmed to see signs that the countryside around may have unexploded mines – does ...
Zadar
Just 1 night here but met some lovely people, a couple of girls from Austria, and a Korean guy who had cycled for 3 months about Europe. Here close to the old town they have what they call "Sea Organs" Steps next to the sea with holes under them so ...
1. unfreiwilliger Ruhetag in Veli Iz (Iz)
Die Wetterprognosen sagten für Sonntag und Montag schwere Borastürme voraus. Heute hätte man eigentlich noch unbeschwert segeln können, doch schaute natürlich jeder Segler, dass er morgen in einem sicheren Hafen lag. All die Yachten, welche in ...
2. unfreiwilliger Ruhetag in Veli Iz (Iz)
Heute sollte laut Voraussage der eigentliche Bora-Sturmtag werden. Er begann mit zunehmend grösseren Wolkenfeldern, am Nachmittag war es bei immer stärker auffrischendem Wind bedeckt, und am Abend braute sich ein Gewitter zusammen. Das Wetterleuchten ...
Wooho long day of traveling
... on 2 or 3 minutes before it left. I slept wthe whole way to Zadar without waking up once. So who knows what the interior of Croatia look like. I left my bag at the train stationa dn walked the 1 km to the center. Zadar is a very old city with Roman uins ...
And so it begins...
... . It was entrancing and I soon began to take far too many videos of its fantastic light show. This was situated next to Zadar's sea organ: a bizzare instrument that uses the power of the wind and waves to create a haunting sound somewhat akin to whale ...
First stop in Croatia
... I heard The Strokes the other day, so I downloaded their albums and am listening to them in chronological order on the bus from Zadar to Split. So let’s keep the soundtrack going with The Strokes – Someday AND The Strokes – Last ...
Extended stay
... re still not tired of being here, and there are still more things to do. There are a couple of other parks close to Zadar, including the Krka Waterfalls, Paklenica National Park, and the Kornati Islands. When I planned this part of the trip, I intended to ...
Another nature park and getting ready to leave
... so I could blend in (just a bit, I can’t fool myself) because whenever I’ve gone places like Germany, Poland, and Croatia, it’s not generally hard to get my point across, but it’s also never easy. A lot of people understand some ...
Swimming in the Adriatic
... come in, it actually pretty nice to just sit and look at the sea and listen to these lovely sounds. I continued my loop around Zadar and saw some old ruins (roman forum, church etc) and ate some more ice cream (the only thing that I ate today ...
