2018.10.03 \u2013 Rijeka \u2013 Zadar (Croatia) \u2013 We had some coffee before leaving our comfortable apartment. We walked to the bus station and boarded the bus shortly after 9:00am. The bus took the coastal road which provided us with amazing views on both sides of the road. The route was far from being flat but it was rather jagged. We saw a few courageous touring cyclists along the way. The 4.5 hours bus ride passed by quickly as we were continually entertained by the beautiful scenery. The bus stopped every hour and half in a small town for a road side break. After arriving in Zadar, we walked 1.4 km from the bus station to our apartment in the old town of Zadar. As we crossed the bridge and an archway leading to the old town, we quickly felt in love with the charm of the old town. We secured our accommodation keys after connecting with the apartment manager. We enjoyed exploring the narrow cobblestone paths spread throughout the old town. After our humongous evening meal of mixed grill meats, we walked to one of Zadar\u2019s unique attraction: the Sea Organ<\/a>. The organ-like sounds are produced by the sea water being pushed into pipes installed under a series of staircases on the edge of the sea. It\u2019s truly unique.<\/p>\n\n\n
