Day 20: Zadar (Half way done)

So, after a beautiful time in Plitvice, and not wanting to leave, we decided to head to the coast, to Zadar. We caught the 11 o’clock bus and went there without having a hostel booked because we didn’t have internet.  We asked the ladies at the bus station and they said there was one hotel  and that was it. So after giving us ridiculous direction and us asking at the post office and them getting mad, we finally found the place. Everybody said look for the big beautiful building… OKAYIn the hallway of our hotel.

Anyway, we found the place. The receptionist said “I will give you room 48. It is a beautiful room. It was a little less than beautiful, but it was a room.  So, we threw our stuff down and headed out to explore Zadar.  We walked to the city centre and just wandered. 

We found random Roman ruins and lots of little churches.  We found a tourist place that was part of the “Snack Bar Arsenal.” It had a map with must see places. We had already seen everything, so we decided to watch sunset.  We saw a sign saying that Alfred Hitchcock said that the sunset in Zadar was the most beautiful one he had ever seen.  We grabbed some gelato and some cappy juice and sat by the sea.

Forrest and his obsession with water decided to  jump in the ocean.

  We had to wait for his clothes to dry and took a little nap by the seaside. We finally watched the sun set and it was beautiful.  We ate at the snack bar aresnal. I got an omelette and french fries (i had a weird craving for french fries) and Forrest got a huge salad.  It was unbearably hot in our room, so we didnt sleep well, but we tried…
