Getting lost in Sibenik

We arrived in Split and found a bus going straight away to Sibenik back up the coast. Arriving in Sibenik was a huge change. The cars were a lot older and rustier, the people and the children were poorer and there was a lot more grafitti. There were empty shops right on the sea front, obviously not a tourist hot spot, but we did manage to see a wedding party emerge from a church, accompanied by a whole jazz band, bass and all, that certainly entertained us for a while. Nothing was open to find accommodation, so we went wandering to find a sobe (rooms to rent). Not a one in sight. We stubled across an agency and we were relieved to find there were two rooms available. Adam and Gabrielle went a wandering to find an ATM as a lot of the society is run on cash. Gabrielle stopped to ask directions, turned around andAdam was gone. Meanwhile Nick and Eva were enjoying a coffee back in the square watching the world drift past. The old town is a labyrinth of old and narrow dead end streets, wandering up and down stairs and Gabrielle also ended up well and truly lost. It was hot and we did mention the stairs everywhere. At last she found 3 lads about 10ish years old, smoking around the corner and asked them for directions. The little buggers asked for 5 kunas (about $1). She didn't have any money so they sent her off in the wrong direction. Meanwhile Adam had found his way back to Nick and Eva. Adam and Nick took the luggage to our accommodation and left Eva to wait for the return of Gabrielle. We all got back together about 30 minutes later. The place we were to stay at was a whole 3 bedroom apartment and we were able to do our laundry. There were lovely views and lots of stairs.
