Hotel Bor Krk

... for the past week!!!

The next day we just did pretty much the same had a mooch about and a walk down to the harbour and Ian was playing doctor and looking after me making me rest all the time so that I did not get tired. Spent the evening watching the crazy american sit coms again and eating buns that Ian made with cheese and salami on god feel like a right lazy sod but cant do much as my head just goes dizzy and funny.

We finished up the last leg of our road trip in Cesky Krumlov in Czech. It is the most amazing and well preserved medieval town in the country. They were too poor to rebuild the town in the 1800s - as a result everything has been well preserved from the 15-16th Centry. We have seen plenty of castles on our travels - but this one is something else. We stayed in a cool ...

... had to at least wear pants..hehe. I went snorkelling at one stage, naked of course and came across about 1000 tiny fish... it then got me worried where they might swim and I had to cross my legs and swim with my arms only after that!

Our 2nd full day we woke up to a lot of wind and I was worried our pop up top would rip off so i pulled it down and top and tailed with kathleen downstairs. The wind didnt let up ...

... les poissons et éviter les piqûres d'oursins. Le paysage côtier est magnifique et l'eau limpide. Nous répèterons l'opération 1h30 de marche plus loin, puis sur le chemin du retour.

Cette journée nous a ouvert l'appétit : dîner dans une "spaghetteria" sur le port accompagné d'un succulent vin blanc et retour à la chambre pour une bonne nuit.

... toujours voir la chambre avant d'accepter, les tarifs sont peut-être moins élevés que ceux pratiqués par les agences de location mais peuvent réserver des surprises!

2ème conseil : préférer les agences de location car les chambres sont classées en étoiles. Vous pouvez également vous fier aux panneaux accrochés aux façades des maisons. Si vous êtes à pieds, les catalogues proposés ...

Enfin le train arrive en Croatie! Malgré le retard, nous ne regrettons pas ce trajet à travers la Slovénie car les paysages étaient superbes, naturels et verdoyants. Un bon coin pour faire de la randonnée.

Pour une raison pratique (prendre le bus pour l'île de Cres au plus vite), nous décidons de ne pas descendre au terminus (Rijeka) mais à l'arrêt Opatija-Matulji ...

I jumped the bus in Pula, and headed off for Rijeka, just a hop, skip, and jump. When I left, I saw a roadsign saying 100km to Rijeka. But, this bus went everywhere but straight. After 1 hr. on the bus, I saw another sign saying 100km to Rijeka. But at least I got to see more of Croatia. I wondered why my ticket cost so much (100 konas, or about 20 ...

Great little place to relax, with plenty of beaches (topless, nude or otherwise), hiking, boating and more. Heavily touristed by northern Europeans, with lots and lots of skin on the beaches and boats, and a very interesting medieval town made for wandering tourists.

... breath taking, and slow drive along the winding coast road but by early evening we arrived at our next stop, the town of Baska on Krk island. Baska is an incredibly romantic looking town. It is the last place accessible by road on the island and is hidden away in a little bay and was undoubtedly a former fishing town before the tourist hoardes invaded many years ago. We managed to get ...

... where the former president of Croatia had his summer home. After driving about 45 mins, and seeing the most beautiful views we have seen in our entire trip, we came upon the town of Cres and found a beach with only 2 other people on it. it was perfect! the water was crystal clear, warm, and there was a market like 2 mins away that sold 1$ half litre beers :) so we basically ...
