Twilight in Croatia

During our trip, we took LOTS of sunset pictures. We couldn't help ourselves; it was just too spectacular!

The guide books say when in Istria, one of the must-do's is to watch the sunset at Rovinj by the harbour. Rovinj is a cute little town on the West coast of Istria, Croatia and view is magnificent because the sun drops right into the horizon. And it's true... the sunset here is by far one of the most beautiful I've ever seen...









The next day, still in Istria, we travelled South to Pula to see the smaller but almost intact Roman colosseum. We were lucky to arrive late in the evening and saw it bathed in the beautiful golden rays of the setting sun.





When in Rome, do as the Romans do; when in Zadar, sit on the Roman ruins. LOL.. We watched (almost in horror) as kids clamoured over pillars and kicked footballs around empty sarcophaguses. Take them home if you like! (just kidding)





We were treated to a great sunset again.



Our main attraction for coming to Zadar was to see and listen to the Sea Organ. The array of tubes under the marble steps produce a haunting melody while the waves sweep in and out. I suppose one would hear different tones depending on the tidal conditions. Listen to the sound in my short video here.



The busiest old town with the most tourists, the fewest local residents and the most cut-throat prices must be Dubrovnik! Again, we were lucky to catch some sunset shots, but no more sun-dropping-into-the-horizon type of shots...





After a light rain, we freezed our asses off to catch this sunset at a little caffe with the longest name. It's called "Cold Drinks and the Most Beautiful View". More about that in another post (if I remember...)





Flew back to the capitol of Croatia - Zagreb. We seem to always arrive around late evening. The setting sun cast a romantic glow on the otherwise busy city and the Cathedral was glittering like it was actually made of gold!
