I chmury... gdyby byly ;))<br>Witaj, Zadar!<br>Witaj slonce, mimo pierwszych chlodow.<br>No coz, kapac sie juz nie bedziemy, ale za to - jest co ogladac!<br>Bedziemy tu do piatkowego poranka, kiedy wyruszymy w strone Vesprem na Wegrzech, a stamtad: kierunek dom :))<br><br>

... just fine now.<br><br>The journey to where I am not was unplanned, totally spontaneous, and pushing the envelope of what a normal traveler would do. It involved getting a bus door slammed in my face, a woman at a left luggage office holding my bag hostage, one plane and two bus rides all day, one cool stopover and getting lost at night on foot. All this so I can bring you only the finest from Europe. But I made it obviously and will have plenty to tell about.

La sortie en bateau nous a tanné la peau et iodé le cerveau, nous sommes en pleine forme pour un nouveau tour dans Zadar.<br><br>La vite de Zadar "by night" est encore plus fantastique que la veille. De plus nous sommes samedi soir et ça se voit : les rues et les terrasses sont bondées.<br><br>Première mission : manger une grosse glace ...

... 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!<br>Après ça, nous décidons de parcourir l'autre côté de la baie. Un sentier longe les ...

Nous quittons Mali Losinj en catamaran pour rejoindre la côte. La mer est aussi agitée que la veille et le bateau fait de jolies montagnes russes.<br><br>Arrivée à Zadar, nous nous mettons immédiatement en quête d'une sobe. Nous envisageons de rester 4 jours sur place pour découvrir les environs.<br><br>La ville se décompose en 3 grandes parties : le centre historique, sur la presqu'île, la ville "touristique" au nord ...

... when we&#8217;re in town today. Amy has some papers she still has to work on, so she&#8217;s going to find an Internet café somewhere in Zadar and Brittany and I will just walk around town some more. We already saw most of the main sights, but we didn&#8217;t go into any of them, so maybe we&#8217;ll do that. We also may just go sit at the Sea Organ, who knows. I&#8217;m just typing to fill up time now, but I&#8217;ll continue this later tonight or tomorrow probably. <br><br>

... styles we didn't buy bus tickets ahead of time but instead just asked the tourist information in town what time we could get a bus out to Plitvice. They told us 9:45 the next morning and even pointed out the bus station on our city map. The next morning with our day packs in tow we set out for the bus station. Jonathan had map duty that morning but as we got closer to the location ...

... and lined with some Roman ruins and medieval churches. It's a really nice town, but I'm definitely one of the rare tourists on the streets. The cloudy weather probably didn't help the crowds, but then again, it's nicer than trying to visit a place when there are heaps of loud tourists around! I did, however, run into two Brasilans staying at my hostel in the middle of the afternoon. They were also wandering around, killing time until their overnight ferry to Italy. The ...

... sign and it's not for a Butlins style &euro;50 a night place - it's for a council motorhome site, we had heard so much about these... Now I know it's breaking yet another rule... 'no camp sites' but we were tired and more importantly curious, what kinda people go to these places? We wanted to meet 'normal' motor-homers.... So we followed the signs and paid our &euro;16 a night and boy it was amazing - we were right on the lake with great views, fresh drinking water, loos ...

Well, here i am, back in front of a keyboard while it is beating down with hot sun outside. Why? cause you deserve to hear what a great place this is and after 3 monhts of london winter that i have found some sun. Frist stop was into split where i was immediately made aware of where i was. Not because it was hot, not because of the clear blue seas, no it was the markets and paying ignorant tourist prices. Never again will i look upon the cheese man of the split ...
