Sibenik, Croatia.




Much to my horror some of these towns are not particularly well sign posted.  The city of Sibenik, Croatia is one of those towns.   I managed to find my way to the waterfront but while trying to get to a place where I thought some hotels may have been located I rode past the bus terminal several times.  On about the fourth occasion we stopped to ask someone for directions.
 
I was approached by an elderly woman.  She was up front with her spiel.   She earns her living by spotting tourists and then acting as an agent by placing them in private apartments.  She came along just at the right time because I was sick of doing laps of the town.
 
She telephoned a householder and paired us up - short negotiation first. 
 
The town consists of the old and the new.  The old has a lot more charm - what surprised me was the high end fashion stores that abounded - must be big money in the town.
 









Narrow streets and plenty of steps to keep anyone fit.



The obligatory central square





This street had some expensive top end fashion shops.
Our accommodation was very comfortable with off street parking to boot.
