Zadar, Croatia

By the time Tuesday came, I had begun to feel like a Split veteran. I wasn't looking forward to my trip to Zadar.

I arrived lost and lonely after a four hour bus ride.

I was stressed.

When I finally made it to the hostel, I felt like I was in a fun house:

I decided that the only way to remedy my sadness was to go for a little jaunt.

That changed everything.

Zadar old town was beautiful.

My hostel was right in the middle of the action- the very centre of the old town. I could see the sea from my hostel bed. Yup. Heaven.

I headed up to the North Western point of the island to experience the number one reason that I chose Zadar: the Sea Organ.

I had read about the Sea Organ when researching my trip, but no article prepared me for the magic.

I don't even know that I could ever describe it to you adequately.

It was peaceful, calming, magical, exciting, relaxing, and just so magnetic.

I often just spent my free time there. I LOVED the Sea Organ. It was easily the best part of my trip.

I will upload a video to Facebook so you can be so jealous!

Zadar was awesome. I made a new friend, Tracey, from Yukon. I went to a glass museum, markets, visited churches, saw the 'Silver and Gold of Zadar', walked around without any hesitation at night, read a book about sex trafficking (not recommended when travelling solo!), sat on many a wharf, walked through parks, ate ice cream, and started to see myself as a travelling gypsy.
Zadar was even better than Split. Be sure to go. And don't miss the sea organ. Go at sunset and then again late at night. Take a book or a journal and just be your own best friend.
