Ramble out the way, let's move on to Zadar, playsuits, ohh and those duty free sunglasses I mentioned previously. Duty free spending money is a given, because getting your hands on a bargain doesn't count neither.
Playsuit - House of Fraser (petite)*
Necklace - Primark (old)
Sunglasses - Ray-ban (duty free)
The playsuit is from House of Fraser, from their petite range. Now I would of perhaps consider myself petite say the beginning of May, but you all know I like to eat out as much as humanly possible and the two holidays in May wasn't exactly good on the waist line.
Yet I've recently realised petite clothing is much more aimed at height and better for generally smaller girls. I'm 5ft3. The playsuit was a really nice fit. I previously found play-suits and jumpsuits a nightmare to buy, too long in the legs or size down and find the clothes riding up in places clothes have no business going, yet petite ranges solve this. It seems simple now I've realised yet I'm sure it's not just me who thought petite basically meant size 6 and teeny tiny clothing.
So my play suit problems have now been solved. Although the expanding waist line may take a little more work.
Now expanding waist lines in question lets move back to Zadar. No shocker I'm jumping back in with food. The whole food during the trip could not be faulted. A restaurant recommend to us by the staff at the apartment was Bruchetta. An Italian restaurant on the sea front.
For starter it's no surprise I opted for the mozzarella and tomato salad. Between you and me I didn't really want the tomato but it felt wrong to just pick out the cheese. The salad was fresh and I even enjoyed the tomatoes getting in the way, dressed with a light olive oil and black olives for garnish. Amongst cheese, olives are another of my weaknesses.
The main was fillet of beef, accompanies by ravioli (not sure there was any need for it) and roasted peppers, in a mushroom sauce. Portion size was impressive and the meal tasted fantastic but unfortunate even my eyes found the portions massive, amazing value however and Croatia is defiantly a city for the foodies.
As the sun set we relaxed by the sea organ and listened to the tranquil waves crash into the walls to create the most beautiful of melody. The sea organ isn't the most well know tourist attraction but unique and worth a visit.
Holiday blues are again kicking in and I actually have no holiday planned! Shocker! I'm thinking of aiming for a mini tour of Italy in the summer. Well I say mini tour I was thinking ideally two or three cities, although the more I try plan where to go the more cities I seem to add in. Zurich here and Salzburg there, a stop of in Munch... suggestions for summer mini breaks welcome.
