Dva Baladura Rovinj

Sooo it has been almost two weeks of Camp Croatia...
It is a summer camp social experiment through and through.
Nothing too exciting has occurred, just long hours of presentations, day trips into the city of Pula, oh, and laying on the rocky beach in our swimsuit on December 2 and 3. I even got a little color in my cheeks. When the weather is nice, Croatia is nice ...

... to getting us to Slovenia where on Friday I can then go and get the stiches out. 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.

... is only a short bus ride away and they have some ancient ruins of an ampli theatre that we could go and visit. So we hopped on the bus after a nice breakfast and headed to the amplitheater. It was freezing so cold that we both had coats and hats on and we got the theater and it was raining. It was an amazing place and Ian went up in the audience bit and I was messing around in the arena asking him could he ...

... save some money I bought some food to eat in the room. We did not really do much today went back to the room after we had found a laundry for our clothes and then I cooked both me and Beebs a lovely chicken sunday dinner with potaoes and carrots and even found some stuff so that I could make Gravy sorry not much to say but we where so tired and just wanted to chill out.

... 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.


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 ...

... when we have some more money thats the good thing though about travelling is that you can just decide to go somewhere or not.

We did actually have to get off in the main venice station to change to get to Trieste which is the furthest point that we can get to before we had to get a bus to Croatia. It was fun on the bus the driver was playing this funny music it was like chas and dave does Croatian music Ian had to put ...

... that looked like it came from a castle dominated the sky line and below it climbing up were beautiful colored buildings and a bustling waterfront with sailboats tied in and café’s everywhere. It turns out we are staying in the old part of town and in the middle. So, that meant hauling our bags over incredibly uneven and beautiful cobblestone. In fact, each stone was shiny and jutted out of ...

... bones disappeared from Constantinople in around 800 AD. She is now the city's patron saint & her remains lie inside the church, which has the highest belltower in northern Croatia.

Small art galleries, shops, and waterside cafes fill the narrow cobblestone streets near the harbor, and it was a pleasant place to spend a few relaxed hours.

... y su Espanol era muy bueno. Por fin el bus aparecio y en 15 minutos estabamos en Rovinj. Teniamos una habitacion reservada por Internet y el dueno decia que te recogia en coche en la estacion. A los 10 minutos aparecio y era una version joven y delgada de Torrente! Con su Mazda rojo y sus gafas de espejos a lo Cobra (que se llevan mucho aqui), conducia apatrullando la ciudad. La villa estaba a 20 minutos ...

... but I did gain respect for my daughter. To see her in pain brought my feelings for her to the surface and I was reminded at their intensity and strength. Our departure was several hours before the sun's arrival, and we were not only departing Rovinj but also Croatia. We had come to take the harbor towns, the beauty of the ocean, and the friendly interesting people for granted and had to face that we would miss it. I already was missing it by the time we boarded the bus in the dark ...
