Here's the last little bit of Croatia.
Monday we took a break from our hiking and hung out on the sandy beaches of Nin, a little town about a half-hour north of Zadar. We didn't do much swimming (too cold for that), but tried to decrease the severity of our farmer's tans a bit, caught crabs, and looked for good shells.

Teeny tiny crab
Funky type of sea-weed that was all over shells and stones and things.
Poppies on the beach.
Another one of my crab-friends (I got to be a good crab-catcher).
For our last dinner I went with grilled Mediterranean sea-bass and a side of steamed spinach (apparently it's a special croatian spinach) with potatoes.
The restaurant owner encouraged us to take this photo (little did he know I'd been not so sneakily photographing my plate when he looked away).
Tuesday, before our flight, we wandered around the city a bit more. I took in the market where I sampled the traditional Pag cheese (from sheep that live on a nearby island), and bought a big bag of cherries.

Then Roman and I climbed the big bell tower in the middle of the Old Town

Also made sure to get a monstrous slice of pizza in Roman before leaving. It really was as big as it looks.
