We got up and went for a swim again in Krk before heading off around 1pm to drive to Zadar. The drive to Zadar was a bit scary, it was cliff side roads all the way, stunning views of the sea but there were strong winds to the car actually shook a bit. So we drove very slowly. We got to my cousin Kreso and his girlfriend Lili’s place in the afternoon. They are both very hospitable and have been great to be with. Lili made us dinner and after that we headed out to the old town of Zadar for the Night of the Full Moon Festival. The city was packed with people. Zadar is stunning as always, and Philip was happy that he was in a familiar place again. We spent a lot of time here on our last trip. After strolling the “riva” (walkway along the water where boats are tied to the stone paths) we had a drink in this really funky huge bar. I’ll put a photo up as it’s hard to explain how it looked. Along the Riva, they also have a “sea organ”. There are pipes built under the sea with air holes in the stone walkway so the organ gets motion from waves in the sea and the wind above. The sound is really good, especially when a boat passes and creates waves.
