Rab is apparently one of the most enticing islands and Rab town,with its population of 556, was well worth the visit. /p> What’s most spectacular about Rab Town are, once again, it’s historic churches and four bell towers. We didn’t spend the night here but did have a picnic lunch at the beach before we headed out to catch the ferry to the mainland heading towards Zadar. While waiting for the ferry Jim, who has done all the driving, decided to catch a snooze. Since Marilyn has a hard time being quiet, not me!, we decided to take a hike up the rocky hills where there was a cross……hence the pictures. When we returned to the bottom I asked, in my best terrible Croatian! what was the significance of the cross. The ticket attendant, in very good English, said it was to commemorate the end of the war and I realized that the war had not been mentioned much since we’ve been here. That’s about to change as we head towards Dubrovnik.
