Day 58 Rijeka to Zadar

We chose the coastal route south rather than the inland highway and this worked out well as the road hugs the coastline with lovely views of the Dalmatian Coast. Along the way we passed people on the side of the road selling pork on the spit.

We turned off for lunch following a sign we saw to Jablanaca and found ourselves in a small port that looked like a mini Hvar. It was very quiet and the only other tourists who seemed to be in town were the Aussies at the table behind us, we can't seem to get away from fellow Australians. As they had come from Italy they seemed to think that the Dalmatian Coast was nice and quiet like this stretch, they will be in for a rude shock when they reach Split and Dubrovnik.

After a lovely lunch we continued along the coastal route until we arrived in our stop for the night in Zadar, where the old town is on a peninsula. Zadar has an unusual attraction that we haven't seen anywhere else - a sea organ, where the waves of the sea push air through various holes in the surrounding concrete to make ever changing music.
