Dependence Jadran Porec

... the hours until the next meal, trying to occupy ourselves... so I have been working on summer internship applications and reading this great book called Mountains Beyond Mountains which is about Paul Farmer.
Well, that's all I have to report, I'm not sure when my next blog will be, probably not until after Ireland, so around December 15 I would assume.
All the best!

Decided to clump together the last few days as not really got much to tell woke up in hospital after a terrible nights sleep and the doctor came around and said that I could go home but had to wait until I had been in there for 24 hours so Ian came and got me and we got a taxi back to the room which cost 74 pounds the ripping off monster. But hoping can keep the reciepts and claim it back when we speak to ...

... I did not know what had happened and I think I was knocked out for a few minutes so Ian went to get some help and they called an ambulance. They were amazing really the lady from the theatre was cool helping me to get up but I could not walk and felt like I was going to pass out again. Anyways got taken to hospital in Pula and spent the next few hours having xrays and scans and allsorts. They had to put 4 ...

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 ...

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 ...

... ago. The long coast line and the many historic towns with tropical atmosphere make this place the perfect turist destination. Unfortunately the country hasn't recoverd from the war just yet. The economy is still strugling - isn't it everywhere though? They are hoping to join the EU soon, I'm sure that would give a much needed boost to the country. Until then croatians will continue to charge 5 bucks for a glass ...

Rovinj is set on a small peninsula on the Istrian coast of Croatia, which is famous for its fine wines and truffles. Photos of Rovinj have appeared in advertisements and international travel publications, and it's one of Croatia's most scenic small coastal towns.

Italian is not a common 2nd language in the countries we've visited, but Koper Slovenia had clearly been conquered by the Italians and left with evidence of their rule. The city was settled in Roman times, then influenced by the Byzantine Empire around 600-800 AD, and ruled by Venice from 1300-1800.

Street signs were in Italian and Slovenian, and the lion emblem of Venice was posted on several important buildings. The familiar locking window ...

... is generally me cooking a meal. As there is no real Australian cuisine, I usually make a foolproof chicken stirfry. It was really well received by Marlon and his girlfriend and they even asked me for the recipe. Fortunately for me, the recipe isn't rocket science and I could write it down quickly and easily. Yum, stirfry - I am getting hungry while I am writing this... Other than what I mentioned, nothing noteworthy happened in Porec: it was time for ...
