Zadar


Arrived in Zadar at 2pm.. The scenery from Zagreb over was wonderful. A 5 hour bus ride cost us 114 kunas per pax (23sgd)
Zadar is a city by the sea and we decided to book a place at a lil town at e outskirts of Zadar, a fishing vilage called Bibinje. 
Off the coach with no idea which way to head. The host told us the taxi cost would be 60kunas one way,but we were approached by veryy young and good looking guys w "taxi" lanyards.. They quoted 75kunas EACH person. -.-
We passed. Asked e inofrmation,they lead us to a bus stop,city bus 10 would bring us to Bibinje in 15mins. 

The very kind bus driver,told us which way to walk and dropped us off for 10kunas. We were still kinda lost,followed the bus driver's instructions and asked around for Pansion marta. A friendly guy told us "20mins walk" THAT we could not do with our backpacks.

So i asked if he could lend us his phone to call,he did,told our hosts the location and the hosts picked us up in 10mins!
The pansion was wonderful. 10steps away from the beach! A small beach but wonderful all the same.
Our supposed "sharing bathroom" became a private one in the balcony!
Yes,we have our own balcony and fridge.
We decided to extend our stay from 5nights to 6.
:)

We spent the rest of the day walking,supermarketing and having a really good dinner by the port.
Squid ink risotto.

The next day,we visited The Sea Organ, it plays music made by waves contact of the Adriatic Sea.
We met a pervert there who literally ruined my night but other than that,everything was perfect.
We had the most perfect yolk of a sunset ever.

It was abit of a pain to travel from Bibinje to Zadar. The bus 10,only runs every hour. It stopped us at the autobus terminal where we arrived on the first day and we had to change bus to the "Centar" only 2 buses that ran every half hourly.
So timing is critical.
