Zadar and Skradin July 8, 9 10

Drove to Zadar, interesting sea organ, terrible lasagna lunch and a delightful pet shop owner recommended Skradin. (I hope he enjoys his trip to CA  for his niece's wedding in Sacramento!)

I could stay here for a while.  Hot, by a lake, kids, but not too many.  Water is cool, calm, gravelly bottom, quite refreshing.  Blue skies, yachts, swans, ten right in the middle of the lake in front of me.  Boats leave here for the national park. Krka. Thanks to the nice man in the pet shop, I have an amazing room with a/c, and internet for about 20 euros.  There are 3 beds, a stove and refrig and a warm friendly English speaking waiter/host, Denis, the best.

In Skradin, you take the boat up the lake and take a walk, much like Plitvice Lake, following a trail.  It was beautiful and less crowded, also only 1.5 km, I think.
