... he is asking me if I am ok every minute and wont let me get out of bed to do anything. We have spent three days just doing nothing in the room but on sunday we went out for a walk and I seem to be getting better at one point I think that I wanted to come home but what difference does it make being here or at home. We have some sunshine now and I can just relax. <br><br>I have slept for nearly 14 hours ...

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 ...

... joked around for awhile, Jeff suggested that we go up to the sundeck as we cruised into Rovinj. So we got dressed and headed topside. We didn't end up going directly to Rovinj, but instead anchored near a beach and island off of Koversada, a few miles north of Rovinj.<br><br><br>The guys were a little nervous about going to a bare beach so we first pulled out the water toys nearby and played around in the ...

Got up really early to take the girls to the airport so sad that Danielle is going but not got long on the trip to go now so waved her off and then we had to wait an hour to get a train to Florence then connect on a train to go to Trieste. As we said we are not going to Venice as we could not find anywhere to stay that was within budget that was not absolutly miles away from actual Venice so decided like Rome we can do that ...

... I will have that image transfixed in my mind for some time to come &#8211; probably the one I will remember most from Piran &#8211; a little spooky, as I think back on it, but very cool and mystifying as I watched.<br><br>When I awoke in the morning, the rain had not yet ceased, but fortunately, after breakfast, I was able to catch a lull, long enough to wander around the town for about an hour. As I am want to do, I immediately headed straight for the ...

... of Rovinj and from the cathedral you can see the whole town piled up in front of the sea. The view is marvelous, seriously.<br> On our way to the seashore we find that Rovinj has a lot of artisans and artists exposing their works in small galleries. I love that atmosphere! The air is impregnated with lavender' scent because they sell bags of the flower everywhere (and lavender's scent gets mixep up with the smell of fried fish of the restaurants ...

We met Mauro Dujmovic for our private walking tour of Rovinj. We went past an amazing market with local produce, olive oil and souvenirs. We wound our way up through the old village to the top where the church was. The view of the sea was breathtaking. We then went for traditional Croatian coffee at a seaside cafe. Very strong. <br><br>The sunny day turned blazingly hot. We wandered through the more modern part ...

... were free Baroque concerts in one of the churches. Everything you could possibly want in a celebration is here. Today I took a side trip to Pula to see the amazingly preserved Roman Arena, where concerts are still held, and the Archaeological museum, which contains a number of artifacts from prehistory to the early medieval period. The artifacts are interesting, but the explanations leave something to be desired. One ...

... with the blue water and slow life of the town laid out in front of us. Collette continued to cry, which is out of character. She cries if she can't have candy, if you take a toy away or give her a time out but physical pain is short lived and vanishes when she sees a kitty, a dog, or plainly becomes bored with it. The only exception is when salt water hits the bumps, scabs, cuts and scratches on her legs and waves of tears will come to her as she sits on the beach repeating that ...
