Last night we spent docked at Zadar, an ancient city. Helen and Mom are shown here in front of St. Donat's Cathedral, which was built over a Roman forum. This city was under Italian control in World War II and was bombed pretty heavily by the Allies.
Alana and Pat are shown here by the Sea Organ. This was constructed on the strait between Zadar and the Kornati Islands. When the waves come in they push air up through some pipes and we heard different harmonious sounds coming out of the Sea Organ. This was built here on the shore in 2005.
This was sunset over the strait next to Zadar.
After watching sunset, we went to a local outside cafe and posted to the blog. There are so many outside areas where people congregate here. . .really a lot of fun.
This is another modern art piece that was built right on the harbor. It is called a Salute to the Sun. There are hundreds of solar batteries that collect the light during the day on the ground, and then at night there is a computerized light show that was so fun to walk on and take a jumping picture on.
Here are Aunt Eileen and my Dad on the bow of the boat.
When we were riding on one of the islands, a goat came out from the hills and started running behind us. These islands in many cases have been overgrazed by sheep and the goats. There are only a few cities on these islands and most are inhabited by seasonal people.
This was one of the highest points that we rode to on the island of Dugi Otok (which means Long Island in Croatian).
Here is Pat on the bow of the boat, going through a narrow strait between the islands.
Here are some of the cliffs on the south side of Dugi Otok. We only rode about 20 miles today but it was all up and down hill.
We hiked to the Salt Lake and these donkeys were there waiting for us. They were very tame and liked to be patted.
We had about a 5 hour ride in the afternoon to get to our location tonight at Skradin so we had a yoga class on the upper deck(er) of the ship.
This is part of our group just prior to being called to dinner. We spent most of the afternoon reading and relaxing.
