Day 9-Day 10 Zadar and back to London

On Sundays, Zadar becomes very quiet. It is what we needed, we visit the old part of town. It is quite touristy, with some nice fashion shops and numerous monuments.

Close to the lovely promenade, a panel states that Zadar's seafront is the nicest in the world, and that Hitchcock once said that it had the most beautiful sunset in the world. Mmmh, would not go that far. But it is true that both are impressive.

On the new parts of the waterfront, a wave organ has been installed, and the sounds produces by the waves are quite interesting (as long as you do not live in the area!)



In the evening, after the sunset, we have a very hard time finding a restaurant and finish up queuing to fetch a pizza. Another one. We make ourselves the promise to have a proper meal the next day.

We indeed go to "The two fishermen" the next day, after a morning of sunbathing, and order an outrageous platter of seafood: an massive fish (which I could not recognise), two entire squids, 4 and a bunch of mussels. The sauce was very tasted, and this, under the sun, was undoubtedly the best meal we'd had.

A few hours later and we are cycling towards the airport. The 10K go very quickly and the bikes, once dismantled and in their unpadded bag, were accepted without any problem by Ryan Air. We had already paid the extra bike ticket. They arrived, like us, unharmed in Stanstead a few hours later.
