Zadar!

The 'relaxing' part of our holiday now over, we made the trip early this morning to our next stop, Zadar, the gateway to the Dalmatian coast. That meant a 6am bus into Pula to catch the 7am ferry. We called at the islands of Unije, Lošinj and Ilovik on the way, arriving at Zadar around midday. We've spent most of the time either eating, drinking or hiding under shade whilst trying to see the sites leftover from years of Roman, Venecian and Austro-Hungarian rule. Tomorrow holds another, slightly less early start - a 7.30am bus out to the bus station to try and find some breakfast and a bus to our next destination Split, and onward to the island of Hvar.

All aboard...

Lošinj

Ilovik

Made it!

Many centuries ago, this was a courthouse

And this was the city guard, we think

Franciscan Church

St Donac Church, from the 8th century

Sitting on top of the sea organ, and listening to it at night

Experimenting with the giant solar installation
