It was equipped with a trolley park, there seemed to be no other signs, but it was remarkably empty. It turns out the council owns the land in front of the supermarket and had recently put up a pay and display machine. The locals are a bit upset. The fine was 50 Kuna (about£6), which was annoying ...
