To Croatia again

Had a bit of a nightmare catching 3 trains from Ljubljana via Zagreb to Zadar, because we were held up on the Croatian border and the train was late into Zagreb. With the help of a kindly station worker, we raced across the top of the train tracks for me to catch the right train with only seconds to spare! Then in the middle of nowhere, another train was hitched on and we seemed to be going backwards! At a tiny little place called Knin, where I again had to change trains, I ran across the railway tracks again and went in this tiny little 2 carriage train to Zadar. We went through lots of tunnels with some stunning rock formations(see photo). From Knin across to Zadar the landscape was pretty derelict with farmers eking out a living with straggly wines and olives amongst the rocks.Lots of different landscapes today,from scruffy Zagreb, then rather pretty forested country which became drier, rockier and more sunburned as we headed south and back to 40 degrees! It was a very long day's traveling!! I can't believe how difficult it has been to get down to Zadar when it would only be 3 or 4 hours by car. O je! Roll on the sailing!
