Preko Island

Another hot day temps are around 25.

We didn’t have breakfast sitting we headed to the ferry to get a 25 min ferry ride to Preko Island. A very smooth trip over. Behind us on the seats were three middle aged couples from Motherwell that were in our Ryanair flight from Edinburgh. I turned to say this to them and we had a good chat for the journey.

Headed to the bakery after embarking on Preko and picked up a couple of pastries one was filo pastry filled with cherries and another was a chocolate croissant type.

We walked along the pretty shorefront and stopped off for a coffee at a cafe at the side of the water. Very relaxing sitting listening to the water coming into shore.

S wanted a paddleboard so he went for an hour’s paddle while I sat in a corner table of a little bar, kinda like a Shirley Valentine moment, watching the turquoise blue Adriatic Sea and people watching.

He had a good paddle and after this we were ready for our main meal of the day. The restaurant further up joined in to a hotel had great reviews so we walked there. Again overlooking the sea. The food was delicious. The waiter Vlad was lovely and Bob Marley was playing in the background - perfect.

Walked again right up to the tip of the island and then back again in time for the ferry back at 5:15. I liked that there was lots of swimming g spots with little changing facilities and steps into the water. Quite a few folks swimming. Nice lifestyle.

After getting home we crossed the bridge to the apartment for a cuppa and then out again for the Zadar sunsets at the organ. The water was choppier tonight so louder ‘music’ from the organ.

Wander through the old town bought the obligatory fridge magnet and then back to apartment by 9.

Tomorrow packing up and off to Šibenik.
