Today we took it slow in the morning so that the market would close, because we have to navigate trough it to get out from the parking. We were a bit tired from yesterday also.

We went to Sibenik, avoiding the highway in favor for a more scenic route along the coast line (plus we didn't need to pay toll charges). .

This route took us past some smaller, modern looking towns, that seem to have had wider space to grow on, e.g we passed nicely painted stone buildings and a shopping mall.

When we arrived I dreaded the frantic search for a parking space, but we actually found one right away. Since it was a holiday the parking was free.

Letting google direct us to the st james cathedral, which played a part of some sorts in Game of thrones, we eventually found our way to a small open space. Isak ran / walked behind us getting caught up on all details he could see. A ramp for wheelchairs were the main attraction according to him and he saw no need to go any further. We did though, to his wild protests.

At the water edge we found this newly opened restaurant, “Peskarija“, where we ate sea food risotto and deep fried chicken. Isak had some orange/banana mix from a bottle, which he promptly threw up all over the floor after falling off the chair.

After some extensive clean up of Isak, Mihiri and the restaurant Isak fell asleep. We walked around a bit and soon realized that the city were filled with stairs, and the prospect of carrying Isak in the stroller up all the steps was not to my taste so we had an ice-cream, a beer and then we went home. To get home we had to get out of the town with its increasingly narrowing streets. Eventually Mihiri had to get out and direct me. We made it out and the drive home was uneventful.

Lets talk a bit about Croatian driving. The roads are very nice, asphalt all the way and there are 2-lane highways (toll charged), multi-lane motorways and the normal single lane roads. Speeds are 50 per default in the cities (but nobody is stupid enough to go that fast). Otherwise the signs are 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 100 and 130. I didn't see any speed cameras (maybe I'm in for a surprise), but there are radar signposts showing your speed and a happy face if you keep the limit and an angry face if you're not. Nobody seem to keep to the limits, but they won't harass you if you do. Except BMW's and Mercedes cars of course, but they always go up your ass whatever country you're driving in. In general Croatian people drive very well, with very little honking, and I'd might be so bold as to say they drive better than us in Sweden.

I don't really know what's up with Mercedeses and BMW:s, but I have a theory. Like, BMW's are owned by brats who want to impress their would-be girlfriends and Mercedeses are owned by old men. I own one myself so I should know. Now, a Mercedes might go up like 2m behind you simply because the driver is short-sighted. He will then stay there, happy to have found someone going in the same direction, who he can see. He will not overtake even if the road is empty and straight to the horizon. The only way to get rid of him is to make a quick diversion maneuver at a bus stop.

BMW drivers are simply rude.
