So we have a bus ride in the morning bought the lady from the appartments some chocolates and left her a note to say thanks as she has been amazing with us letting us stay for nothing. So everyone dont worry I am well enough to be typing this blog today and will put on pics for the past few weeks when the computer will let me.

... to sit down as the pain was really getting to me. I knew then that I was going to faint I could tell after fainting a few times before everything goes weird and things start going fast I kinda thought I could stop myself but no joy. The next thing I knew Ian was trying to bring me round after putting me in the recovery position and had some tissue on my head as I had fell head first into 500 year old ...

Theres a nice cathedral and these beauitful rocks that go right along the beach where you can lay out on..and today we took an all day boat trip around all of the surrounding islands of the coast.

At 8.30 p.m we arrive to Rovinj, another town in Croatia's Istria region. People we met during the trip told us that Rovinj was charming... and it's true, that's one of the most lovely places I've been.
