After the storms of last night the sky was very clear and warm. We decided to get ourselves to the old town of Zadar and get the bus. We hadn't rushed to get up so went just after dinner. We caught the bus just down the road a little walk away from the apartments. It took us just outside the old town as a lot of it is pedestrianised. We had a good walk around, there were lots of little shops and bars with masses of outside seating. We had a walk to find the sea o...

We woke at 3.15am this morning to check out of the hotel in marseille for our plane to Zadar. Very early! The airport seemed closed when we arrived, but there were a few other people in and about. We had to wait until 5am to go through security then get on the plane at 6.10am. The flight was only 1hr 15minutes so we can't complain! Flying over Croatia was beautiful, it was all islands and looked great! A taxi from the airport brought us to our apartment with ...

After settling down for the evening with beers and crisps, chatting away to each other, we then heard the thunder!! And saw the lightning!! There was an almighty storm brewing! It sounded awesome! We sat out on the balcony to watch, it took ages for the rain to eventually come but when it did it poured! The rain went on all night an...

We still managed to look around the city centre and the port. The city centre was not the prettiest at all and everywhere was covered in graffiti, some was very good then there were gaps filled in which lo...

Well, woke up to a very dull morning this morning, went downstairs for some breakfast. Mmm proper croissants with jam, very nice. We came back up to our room to do some sorting of the clothes to take to the launderette. After a little while we looked out of the window and the rain was bouncing of the roads! Followed by thunder and lightening! This was not the weather we wanted! Our plan for today was to do the 1 hour walk into the centre if town, have a look a...
