Day 3 - Tuesday 11 July - Zadar

The morning’s walking tour of Zadar showed us many buildings and churches of historical interest. You can see the Venetian influence in the decorations and towers. Our excursion leader told us that Croatia is more catholic than the pope and we visited a collection of church art known as 'The Gold and Silver of Zadar'. Zadar is also famous for it’s beautiful embroidery, which is displayed out in the market.

This afternoon I joined with an excursion to an amazingly beautiful Nature reserve called the Plitvice Lakes. We walked around the lakes on board walks viewing the turquoise, clear waters and numerous trout as well as the stunning waterfalls. The trip involved about 2.5 hours of walking as well as a boat ride across one of the lakes. If you are up for the walk, this is one excursion not to be missed!
