Doors 208 – Croatia doors (part 4)

The next instalment of doors from our family trip to Croatia last August. Before leaving Zaton, we took a trip to the Krka National Park, which even though crowded was spectacular, and the boardwalk through the woods and waterways will remain long in my memory. The first door this week was in the park on a small out building and had been coated in stickers. It felt like this was the one place in the entire park where people could express their subversive selves, and it made me laugh.

Our next destination was Pula where we spent a few nights, and I have to say that this city was the highlight of my holiday. Probably because the Italian influence in the Istrian Peninsula is very strong. Italian is spoken, the city feels like a suburb of Rome, shops have bilingual signage, and the Roman ruins are to die for. Here is a small selection of ancient and less ancient doors/doorways, with a promise of more to come soon:

Time has caught up with me and cut my commentary a little short (mercifully, perhaps). I will have more for you next week.

If you have made it this far, you probably like doors, and you really ought to take a look at the No Facilities blog by Dan Anton who has taken over the hosting of Thursday Doors from Norm 2.0 blog. Links to more doorscursions can be found in the comments section of Dan Anton’s Thursday Doors post.
