Zadar & Co.



We had a nice but hard trip on train from Zagreb to Zadar, nice because we met a couple of californians on the wagon, and hard because we had to do a quick transfer at 3:15am on a little station at Knin, under the rain, to the smallest train anyone can imagine.

We arrived to Zadar at 7:45am or so. The sun just risen over the horizon, well not exactly, but when you are kinda sleep, time flows slowlier. We moved to the city center right after buying some breakfast.

The touristic center of Zadar is surrounded by some old walls and isolated from the land by a 50yards bridge. Since our first step around there we were jumped by locals offering us bysea trips to the Kornatti islands, but we had to decline their offers, since our departure time was sooner than the return from the islands. A pitty. Instead, we walked the old town narrow streets and went rest for some minutes at the Sea Organ steps, a musical instrument that makes use of the propeled air that the waves throw into its pipes to produce a constant and relaxing sound.

After that, we took a look and a further walk around the city old town, eat a delightful icecream and got our way back into the rail-bus station to buy a tickect for going Split. We discovered soon enough that locals offer room hospedage at bus station for cheap prices, but not into the train station, which amazes me, counting that, on this city, both buildings are one next to the other.

Next stop Split. Tomorrow we update it, although we are writting from 'here'.
