Day 10: Onward to Zadar

We had planned to visit Plitvice Lakes today en-route to Zadar but the rain was so heavy that we decided to go straight to Zadar and save Plitice for a better day.

We admired the views from the bus on the way to Zadar. Croatia landscape was rather under developed, it was covered in forests, mountains and low lying clouds. Transportation was rather straightforward, we hoped on to a bus and in 3.5 hrs, we were in Zadar. It was lashing rain so we abandoned all plans to camp and despite not having sorted out accomodation, we decided that food must take piority. While waiting for our kebabs to be prepared, we were hassled by an old Croatian woman offering "sobe". Not having much luck with local hostels, we decided to take our chances with a potential butcher of Zadar, as she could have turned out to be. Fortunately for us, the room turned out to be reasonably good for the price and the walk to the center was only 25 mins, rather than the claimed 15 minutes. We chilled out for a couple of hours while waiting for the rain to ease and had dinner in an Italian restaurant surrounded by vines.
