Adriatic Rovinj

... night and seem to be getting some of my strength back its taken it out of me and luckily have had Ian around to help me. Everytime I got up I just felt dizzy but thats common I think with concussion. Ian had to feed me soup the other day as my hands would not stop shaking but as I said I am feeling a lot better now and even agreed to move on to Opatija which is about 2 hours down the coast and a little ...

Today was hell, I am writing this a few days later so just to let you all know I am much better now and will post the pics so you can see the damage when I get to a computer that lets me. I will explain what happened.<br><br>We got up and had decided that we where going to leave tomorrow as planned and move on to somewhere else so as the day was a little cloudy and raining Ian said why dont we go to Pula ...

As we said its getting colder now so we decided not to do much today as we both wanted to relax anyway after the hectic few weeks that we have had in Turkey greece and italy. So we just went for a walk in the harbour and had a look around its another pretty little harbour town with some cafes but its still really different from Italy. We found a supermarket and as we wanted ...

... the beach further down the coast. Once we got the tender secured, the girls found a spot nearby to camp out at. I took off my clothes off and left then in the tender and began to walk further down the coast where more people were scattered around the coast. I left Jeff and Vance behind for them to deal with their own doubt and fears before they relaxed enough to get naked too. It didn't take long for Jeff ...

... head phones on it was doing his head in. We had to go through passport control which was a border on the motorway and we got our passports checked first by the Slovenian Police then by the Croatian police as we had to go through Slovenia to get to Croatia. We are coming back to Slovenia but in a few days time. The police did not stamp my passport and I was really dissapointed I am sure because Croatia is not an EU country he ...

... of alleyways behind the town hall, in the hopes of losing myself in them for a little while as I headed out to the lighthouse, on the tip of the town that extends into the Adriatic. Fortunately or unfortunately, the town is small enough that, while one can wander through these alleyways, it is really difficult to truly lose one's self in them. I was out at the lighthouse a short time later, which, as promised by my guidebook, was quite unimpressive ...

... walked around after dinner completing a loop of the city and then sat and watched a band playing local music. They were hysterical, it sort of sounded like polka music and the crowd was really into it. Tomorrow we&#8217;re taking a bus to a nearby town to pick up a car! We haven&#8217;t driven in so long it should be a treat. Still no internet and too bad, I was almost caught up on uploading my entries!

9th - 12th August 2007. "Your land is very far!" said the heavily accented Croatian Border Official as he examined our passports. Luckily this was the extent of our interrogation. Croatia was the third country we had been in today, and it wasn't even lunchtime yet. We woke up in Italy, went shopping in Slovenia and found a new home in Croatia. So far our overland border crossings, and there aren't that many in Europe any more, have been fairly painless, today being no ...

Croatia... The Land: Croatia has area's longest coastline (with 1500+ islands), beautiful inland hills, lakes with the most turquoise water you have ever seen, and a few mountainous forests. For a country 1/4 the size of Utah... its got a lot to offer. The People: ... Gentle warriors may be the best expression we can think of. Basically, the people are great. They are fair with tourists, they don't push a sell ...
