Rijeka
... magnets or religious iconography. I decided to veto the place in hopes of finding a better quality product to adorn my fridge. Getting to the castle was simple enough and as a bonus, free! We headed up the castle gardens and into the grounds where there were about 3 - 4 tiers of increasingly better views. We headed to the viewing tower after a couple of pretty panorama shots, mixed in with a couple of shameless selfies. Atop the tower it would be quite easy ...

It does however mean that the snorkelling is AWESOME!! some great bits of coral with kind of valleys running through attracting loads of fish. Got some great underwater pics (hopefully) in our quest to chase and terrorise the sea creatures! Just had to watch ...
