Hotel Pical Porec

... night and seem to be getting some of my strength back its taken it out of me and luckily have had Ian around to help me.

So I have to come back and do the 3 country walk, that nwould be as good as Four Corners. We just wandered along the water and got confused, because what they call a beach here isnt a beach to us, its a pile of rocks, a very little pile of rocks here and there, so we got a bit lost and ended up walking on top of a wall of some ...

SUCH a quaint nice town. Theres a nice cathedral and these beauitful rocks that go right along the beach where you can lay out on..and today we took an all day boat trip around all of the surrounding islands of the coast.

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.

... and I joined Mauro at his favorite restaurant and ordered a typical Croatian lunch. Grilled vegetable, grilled fish, calamari and of course beer. We watched a class of young sailors practicing in the bay right in next to our table. He told us many Italians come to Croatia for the food.

I loved the idea of reviving a 17th ct folk fiesta from the very start, and this year, despite bad whether, it proved to be just what was needed. "Fiera franca triduana" was traditionally held on St. Mihovil day (8 May) in the 17th ct. and it included crossbow competitions, dances and other folk games.
