Last stop on our way to Split was a town called Zadar. Our budget (and very basic) campsite was a bit out of the way in a town called Ražanac and as we had another massive storm here and torrential rain for a day and night, it was a quiet first day around the van, with a walk into the small town for some food and an ice cream – nothing special, but another dog beach for Wilf to swim in made up for it.

Zadar itself however was actually really nice – a large harbour town with a peninsula meant that wherever you walked you weren’t far from the water and some beautiful views of the coast and harbour. We also saw and listened to the Sea Organ – according to Wikipedia ‘an architectural sound art object and experimental musical instrument, which plays music by way of sea waves and tubes located underneath a set of large marble steps.’ It was kind of eerie walking along the promenade and hearing the whale-like sounds floating through the air, but pretty cool and something a bit different for sure. Zadar was definitely a highlight of Croatia so far.
