Primišlje

It seems the further south you go in Croatia, the more interesting the countryside looks. When the black mountains (grey looking really) begin to appear, it looks and feels like the Montenegro I know and closer to the Adriatic.
Zadar was more than okay last night. It was really lovely down by the waterside.
After a really good meal in a really popular restaurant called Butlers, we strolled for quite a way through old Zadar. There was a 'burger festival' on that was good fun. We didn't dance but lots of others did. The place was alive and very busy, with ice cream parlours in abundance. Bob Rocks was our choice and it didn't disappoint.
Eventually we got to the waterfront and walked to the end of the peninsular where what was called the 'Water Organ Music' show was sited. Joining lots of people were sitting along the wall be the water, a rhythmic humming noise was piped through hidden speakers beneath the wall/bench.
But the walk back was a bit long for my rickety skeleton.
The drive was actually fine and the stop in Sibenik was glorious. It's a bit like a lovely, small version of Zadar (plus steep walks to the cathedral and fab restaurant in the church garden) reminding me of bits of Old Kotor).
Another short drive got us to Split, so I'll catch up in a short while about our first evening in Split. A Bolt ride, meal out and walk in the old town to come.
Had a lovely stroll through the VERY touristy old town of Split. As it's supposed to be a good seafood kinda place, I had a fishy meal that I. wouldn't;t normally go for. I shouldn't't have. it was okay. but priced for the tourists. Why do the waiters/esses insist on explaining the provenance, ingredients and cooking methods if everything??
The office for the ferry trip to Hvar tomorrow was closed. So it's back early doors to get the return tickets. Should be a spiffing boat trip and nosey around the island.Read more
