Hotel Brioni Pula

... 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.

... me and what where the acoustics like. He told me to come up and see him so I was on my way up when I thought it would be funny to pretend I was a gladiator on a horse and started trotting into the arena next minute my leg went something pulled in my calf I know now that it was only a pulled muscle but I was in agony and Ian was laughing thinking my horse had gone lame.<br><br>I tried to hobble over to some ...

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 ...

... follow suit and to catch up with me, just as we approached the busy beach.<br><br>After an afternoon at the beach, we returned to the yacht and sailed into the Harbor at Rovinj. We moored stern to at the mouth of the northern marina and took the short walk around the harbor to the old town out on an oval peninsula with a church on top. We found a place to eat dinner and then returned to the yacht for the night.

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 ...

Day 6 is the ride up the lake mentioned above... followed by re-location of camp spot. After very much shunting around, we squeeze into a good spot, with no road noise. Have excellent night's sleep. Awake refreshed, and dearest announces that she is ready to move on... Of course, I respond. We set forth for Pula, in Croatia. In and out of Slovenia before we know it - shame, really, as in border coffee-house we pick up tourist ...

Well, this is the start of another blog... this ones a bit shorter than the last as we only have three weeks of travel this time, rather than 8 months. So, anyway, we left Birminham airport at 6am on wednesday and arrived at Trieste in Northern Italy a couple of hours later. The heat as we got off the plane was quite a nice feeling. The British "summer" so far has been poor to say the least. So to feel a bit of sun on our faces was a welcome change. We took the bus from ...

... important was to manage our tiredness, the climate shock of emerging in sweaty 30 degree heat, to get rid of our bags in a timely fashion and enjoy some time at the beach. All of which would have been eminently achievable had I remembered to write down the address of the hotel we were staying at. Doofus. In retrospect, our accommodation selection was pretty good. But as we walked aimlessly through Pula suburbia trying to dutifully adhere ...

... 4 camp grounds we found one in Pula that wasn't overcrowded with white haired people (we didn't want to feel out of place) or ****** looking facilities. We had our ocean view spot all picked up, Alex got out the huge tarp that he bought and we spent the better part of an hour tying it to the trees and branches. By the time we were sure that the tarp would not collect any rain we were both soaked to the core ...

... cool.. Alett and I could not stop laughing in the back seat. He probably thinks wer are completely crazy! After our scenic 2 1/2 hr bus ride we arrived to Riyeka. Off to the ferry we go! We will be cruising for 12 hrs to Hvar. I am excited to arrive... I hear this place is beautiful. Alett and I had such a wonderful time on the ferry. We entertained each other. We listened to Danish music all night. Around 3am I started freezing. We were sleeping on ...
