Biograd na Moru - part 2

 After a nice walk by the water and checking out the many boats there walked back by all the restaurants lined up on the Riva. We sat down at one of them for lunch and a cool drink. Even though we had some rain and thunderstorms recently, this was another scorchingly hot day and walking around in such heat can really do a number on people. I will say that I'm tolerating the heat a little better than when I first arrived, but I must have my hat and a bottle of water to carry around, that's my safety blanket. There were some other things to see here like the painted chair hung on the wall. I'm not sure exactly what that represents but it's a very colorful decoration, that's for sure. By the end of the day we saw the Dalmatian locals as they're called by tourists, the cats.




































Biograd na Moru - part 1

 On this day we started off in Zadar but soon decided to visit Biograd na Moru which means Biograd on the Sea. It's a small town about a half hour away from Zadar with beautiful views of the marina where many boats are docked and a strip of fine restaurants and souvenier shops. It seems that red was the theme color for this outing but no one sent me a memo so there was no red on me, lol. There are actually two marinas or harbors, a large one called Kornati Marina and the smaller Marina Shangulin. as Biograd is a popular sailing destination on the Dalmatian coast. What we saw here was the smaller one.
