Staying in Zadar

For the past couple of days, Mizz S and I have settled in Zadar, Croatia. A beachside town full of Italian and German tourists, we lucked out and booked an apartment on the more beachy side of town in Borik. It's cooler here than further up north, and the crowds don't seem to be as bad even though it is the beach and it is summer. Our favorite day was today (we voted) where we woke up late then went to the beach and did a two-a-day (not just for workouts anymore! Go tanning!). When we weren't in the sun, we were picnic'ing and reading in the shade.

These are, I believe, the inlets for the Sea Organ- a most fantastical musical instrument that uses sea water to create sounds. Please click on the link or search for it on YouTube, the music is not melodic but oh so beautiful to sit and listen to while you stare at the sea.
The sounds from the Sea Organ come out of the cut-outs on the steps.
Plenty of Roman ruins around Zadar.
Sunset on the Adriatic.
