Hotel President Zadar

... puste!

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.
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 :)

... in various wars and that's what actually saved the campanile (I can use big words, too). When construction picked up again the soil had compacted some and the bright engineers decided to build the upper floors with one side taller than the other to compensate for the leaning. Smart idea I guess because it hasn't collapsed yet. The tower was closed until recently so modern day engineers could stabilize it.

For history or trivia wizards who need ...

... les gourmands il y a de quoi faire, avec une moyenne d'un glacier toutes les 3 boutiques. Par contre il a beau être 22h, il fait encore chaud et nous devons nous dépêcher d'engloutir notre cornet avant de nous faire crépire les chaussures.

Sur le front de mer, nous découvrons une sculpture extraordinaire (construite en hommage au ...

... panneau indiquant "lac salé". Situé à 5 minutes à pied de la baie, le lac Mir contient 2 fois plus de sel que la normale, la température de l'eau dépasse largement les 25°C et son niveau monte et descend au gré des marées. Une baignade s'impose. L'eau est en effet très chaude et salée : un vrai bain thermale!
Après ça, nous décidons de parcourir l'autre côté de la baie. Un sentier longe les ...

... La grande classe! Sans négocier nous prenons cette location.

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.

We started talking yesterday, though, and made a change of plans. Basically, we’ve all fallen in love with Zadar (and this apartment in Diklo) and we don’t want to leave. The original plan was to leave this morning for Zagreb (the capital) and sightsee during the afternoon/night, then take a bus into Slovenia on Tuesday to see a little town just inside the border, and then come back to Zadar on Wednesday for our flight to Dublin that night. I talked to Neven ...

... windy roads. I remember at one point in the night in between sleeping and waking, I looked out the front of the bus and you could see how close the bus was coming to the mountains as it tried to wind up the mountain roads, I think I preferred to sleep through that.

... Mis on voodi eest selgelt liiga palju, magades on üldiselt kama kaks, kas portjee on livrees või mitte. Kell hakkab juba 10 saama, olen taas tagasi vanalinna juures. Pimedas vanalinnas pannakse poode kinni. Mingil hetkel suudan autoga eksida kitsasse sisehoovi, mis lõpeb tupikuga ja pean välja selg ees tulema. Mõlemal pool mahub autode vahele vaevalt rusikas... Ja pilkane pimedus, tore küll. Viimases hädas lähen netikohvikusse ja saan teada, et Puntamika-nimelises linnaosas ...

... be a great place to relax at during the night. A giant room complete with restaurant, wine bar, lounge, and book store. The internet was painfully slow, however. But only my terminal. No one else seemed to have any problems. Dinner - fish soup - an oily, tomato-based broth with bits of fish and rice. Bland - much better after I added a ton of salt. Warm/cold salad - shrimp, mushrooms, onions all sauteed then placed on a bed of lettuce, tomatoes, cukes, and served with ...

... octopus. On our last day in Croatia, we headed north toward Sibenik and spent a day at Krka National Park. This was a huge park with lots of greenery and waterfalls. It started raining around 4pm so we cut our day short and headed back into town. We are now in Budapest and looking forward to exploring the city. Rick: Hi everybody. Our time in Croatia turned out pretty well considering how things could have gone. It turned out that we originally booked our ...
