Trogir - Zadar

Cheese sampling -  Trogir

That rain last night did turn into a torrential downpour - complete with large chunks of hail. Luckily we were tucked up safe and dry inside a cute restaurant stuffing our faces with more cheese and pasta.



As we emerged out into the windy streets it became obvious that areas of the old city of Trogir have serious drainage issues.
A novelty for us to have to whip off our shoes in order to wade through the aftermath and make it to the cake shop - but the local business people looked frustrated and a bit helpless at the pools of water creeping into their doorways - sodden outdoor dining areas left abandoned and dripping.

Love the markets

Markets - Trogir

Seems to be a common thing - on our morning rituals to hunt out our health fuelled breakies of coffees and croissants, we inevitably come across the commotion of a local market bursting with colour and produce.

I guess the fruit balances out the pastry.
Maybe.

Church in Krka park

Krka NP

Todays mission was a visit to the Krka National Park on route to our destination of Zadar. The parks landscape is defined by beautiful waterfalls and we enjoyed a cruisey wander along the boardwalks through loads of different flora and fauna - didn't spot any bears, snakes or otters though. Must be feeling shy today.

Country roading it

As we crept further north it was awesome to end up on real country roads for a change. The landscape changed, the dominating cliffs and mountains that have been a constant receded further into the background and the land flattened out, vast fields now sprinkled with hues of gold and yellow. And olive trees of course. The rural villages were lined with crumbling stones houses, and we finally spotted a bit of livestock! The friendly wee fellas emerged one by one from their barn to get their photos taken. True professionals.

A whole day hanging in Zadar tomorrow.
