... 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 :)

... to take my chances today. I still had last night's used ticket so I validated the other end of it and tried to smear out the old ink with some good old fashioned spit and some thumb grease. Let's just say the outcome was obvious tampering.

And also why is it that after 8pm one bus will connect where I stayed to the airport but during the day it requires two buses via the train station? Wouldn't the powers that be want the easier one bus journey for ...

... 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!

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.

... 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 ...

Yet more enjoyment to report. Our pension in Zadar was just a wonderful find. We booked it in a bit of a panic because we had been having a lot of trouble finding accommodations in Zadar. It turned out to be close to the center of town, unexpectedly en-suite, and had the most paternal proprietor who was tickled to have Americans there. We are certainly in the minority now - lots of Italian and German families with a good number of ...

... Anytime you enter the motorway you get a ticket and you get charged by your mileage. Our first order of business on A1 motorway was to find food. There is nothing along these roadways but gas stations every 40km so we opted to stop at one of them. I don't think a self-service sandwich has ever tasted better and I doubt I have eaten one that fast before. Marisa opted for some gnocchi which was equally as satisfying. Tonight we are ...

... the sake of 2 Euros. Eventually we were rescued by a kind American couple who paid for us so we were on our way- even if a little embarrased by the show we'd provided! After arriving into Dubrovnik we jumped into a taxi to take us to Solitudo Camping where we set up our tent. The weather was dodgy again so we had a good look around and and early night the first night. The next evening we went into the walled ...

... the second oldest synagogue in Europe (second only to Prague), it stayed open during World War II when many closed. It was a truly amazing experience. Today, which I think may be my best day so far, we traveled to an Island named Lokrum which was a 15 minute ferry ride from Dubrovnik. We hiked around and then went sun bathing on these huge rocks overlooking the Adriatic Sea. It was incredibly peaceful and a real once in a lifetime experience. Tomorrow I ...

... they grew up, where Ivan played basketball on the streets, and the apartment complex where they still live. We stopped to pick up some pivo (beer) and took the elevator up to the ninth floor where the Tolic sign was where Marko said "history was made". From the outset, Ivanka said it was a pleasure to have Ivan´s friends in Split. That is was a hard adjustment for him in the states and his family as well back home, and she was so thankful, especially to Dania for being there for him ...

... that very little happens in the Croatian capital on a Sunday. So much for powerhouse of a city, the streets were empty and waiters at the cafes practically refused to move from their air-conditioned doorways. We convinced them we needed our lunchtime pivo (beer). Lonely Planet recommends a number of 'fine parks' in Zagreb. This is where all the dog-walking action happens. Quite a little social scene. One must dress-up to walk the dog and stop at one ...
