There had been a good rainfall a couple of days prior so it was full on. It was nice to be away from the multitudes but frankly, the roar of the rushing water all around us was pretty intense too.

There were some samples. Pretty rugged wool! Following looking around there we took a boat to Skradin. What a cute little town. About 3000 population. Had lunch there (delicious fish soup) and entertainment in the way of the car being craned out of the canal post an 11pm, night before mishap!
