4) FRIDAY, 1 JULY 1977:
226 KMS. - ZADAR
Bought a postcard and sent to my sister in the morning. We continued on our route, leaving RIJEKA at 9:00 am. to ZADAR in the south. On the mid-way between NOVI VINODOLSKI and SELEC, we stopped by at coastal area on a nice shady spot under the trees for our brunch and cleaning inside the campervan. What we had to do - simply opened canned food that we brought along and just heated it - breakfast and lunch at the same time !
Probably I didn’t sleep well last night, I felt asleep right after I finished my meal, from noon to 3.00 pm. I was waken up by Tilo, persuading me to go swimming. Whoa, the water was very cold. It was not a real beach but rather a sharp rocky area underwater that Tilo’s hand was cut accidentally.

Then heading toward ZADAR, we took the coastal road along the Adriatic sea. On one side of the coastal road is carbornate sediments / limestone type mountainous land , looking like semi- desert grassland. In some areas , there were dried brown grass bushes bordered by sporadic small clusters .
It was nice but rather taking longer time to drive along circuitous detours by the rugged nature of Adriatic coastal road. Most of all, it could be very dangerous if reckless, as on the other side of the road is cliff overboard.
I saw many small advertising boards written in German “ZIMMER” which should be meant that rooms were available for rent along the road.
It was about 9.00 pm. when we reached ZADAR and went out to take a look around. The city is not large compared to RIJEKA and there were more people walking to and fro, especially the teenagers .
I also noticed today that women in rural areas mostly dressed in black clothing, just like most farmers in Thailand countrysides.
