Hotel Mare Nostrum Zadar

... puste!<br><br>A przed nami Zadar, miasto piekne, czyste, zadbane niesamowicie - w kazdym razie STAROWKA. Wyczuwa sie tu wloskie wplywy, ale to nic dziwnego: miasto bylo podlegle Wenecji dlugie lata.<br>Chociaz z tym numero uno roznie: Krzysia /to ja..to ja / - Zadar. Inni? A to... Kotor, a to.... Dubrownik, a to... laba w Prapratno! Wszystko piekne, po prostu :)<br ...

... to Zadar, Croatia and tomorrow I will find some time to give you the rundown on a pretty amazing journey back through the Balkans that just worked out perfectly by dumb luck and my plane arriving 30 minutes early. I put Zadar as my map point here but I have moved on to somewhere pretty amazing I will tell you about later. For now I will just say that half of it is bombed out and leveled from the wars in the 1990s and the other half is completely modern and ...

... Concrêtement, c'est un immense cercle composé de cellules photovoltaïques multicolores qui s'illuminent de façon aléatoire dans un balais de couleur irréaliste. Vraiment magique!<br><br>Nous nous mettons ensuite à la recherche d'un bar pour étancher notre soif, jusqu'à ce que la fatigue est raison de nous et nous guide vers notre lit.

... 25km sur 3km. Aucune plage à l'horizon, que des falaises tombant à pic!<br><br>Notre bâteau navigue le long de ce parc magnifique bordé par une eau cristaline. Après 3h de trajet, nous débarquons dans une baie à l'extrémité de l'île de Dugi Otok, dans le parc naturel de Telascica. Refuge de nombreux bâteaux, le parc est protégé par une haute falaise et se compose de mini-baies.<br>Nous suivons ...

... La grande classe! Sans négocier nous prenons cette location.<br><br>Le temps de réserver une excursion pour les iles Kornati le lendemain et nous débutons la visite de Zadar. Ses rues pavées et son front de mer nous enchantent, même si la fatigue et l'organisation de la suite du voyage nous empêchent d'en profiter pleinement. Retour à l'appartement à la tombée de la nuit pour un bon plat de pâtes et une nuit réparatrice.

... On the other hand, to go to Paklenica, we&#8217;d be paying an unknown fee for the bus there and back (it was 181 kuna [~$36] roundtrip for Plitvice), then another 55 kuna ($11) for entrance to the park and the cave. Add in the single-trip tickets between Diklo and the central station and it&#8217;s already almost at $50, and that&#8217;s not even counting food for any part of the day. All things considered, I think we&#8217;ll be reserving spots on a Kornati Islands ...

... a seat. It was surprising that throughout our dinner most of the tables remained open. If you do make it to Zadar don't worry about making dinner reservations. Transportation: Since Zadar is really close to Plitvice Lakes National Park (Falling Lakes area) we decided to take the buses and spend a night out there. Trying to balance our two very different planning vs. no planning ...

... out that places I want to visit are closed, transportation has slowed down to the point of not running, and hostels are practically empty. This also has some advantages - for example, I currently have a room to myself with a bunk bed, table, cupboard and sink. However, in comparison to the last few days I spent in Zagreb in constant company, Zadar was feeling a little lonely when I set out by myself this morning. I walked through the streets of Old Town, which are all paved in ...

... going down it was up to poor Ned to find us a way out and bless him he did - back on the red road to lago di Garda - we were happy once more. We hit lago di Garda after dark 10pm to be exact, breaking yet another rule - 'find a park up by 8pm'. So we stopped and asked the divine for the perfect park up and had a fag - well I find it easier to connect to the divine when I'm not desperate for a fag!!! We started Randon up and drove for all of about 2 mins when we see a parking for ...

... just that national park. We are now in Budapest and are enjoying it very much. The weather has been good and Budapest is a nice combination of modern and old buildings. With the world cup on the city (sponsored by Adidas) has erected large screens in a bunch of squares, so you can watch the games wherever you go. It's pretty cool they care some much even though Hungary isn't even in the World Cup this year. We are off to Austria tomorrow, talk to you later.
