Hotel Rubin 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. Everytime I got up I just felt dizzy but thats common I think with concussion. Ian had to feed me soup the other day as my hands would not stop shaking but as I said I am feeling a lot better now and even agreed to move on to Opatija which is about 2 hours down the coast and a little ...

Today was hell, I am writing this a few days later so just to let you all know I am much better now and will post the pics so you can see the damage when I get to a computer that lets me. I will explain what happened.<br><br>We got up and had decided that we where going to leave tomorrow as planned and move on to somewhere else so as the day was a little cloudy and raining Ian said why dont we go to Pula ...

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 ...

... for a few hours before heading to shore. We didn't' want to go alone so we asked any of the crew if they wanted to go with us. We ended up getting three of the stewies and one of the deckies to go with us. With only four people aboard the work load was very light, so they were able to go with us. We took the tender to shore and no one was on the beach where we landed, but there were more people scattered ...

... head phones on it was doing his head in. We had to go through passport control which was a border on the motorway and we got our passports checked first by the Slovenian Police then by the Croatian police as we had to go through Slovenia to get to Croatia. We are coming back to Slovenia but in a few days time. The police did not stamp my passport and I was really dissapointed I am sure because Croatia is not an EU country he ...

... I wandered back along towards the main square on the route along the water, then headed up the hill to the bell tower and churches. This area does afford beautiful views in both directions &#8211; one of the harbor, main square and town and the other of the hilly coastline that extends across the bay. I wandered around for a little while and then decided it was time for me to be on my way &#8211; I did have quite a drive ahead of me, and a couple of more ...

... water next to the bus station in Split. Bill is checking ferry tix and probablz taking morning photos. He`s heard me whine about I NEED AN INTERNET CONNECTION for 3 dazs, so after doing sillz useless things like going to bed in other towns, it&#263;s my turn. There`s a steadz Bee Gees soundtrack in the background.<br><br>Piran was a lovelz seaport smack dab next to Italkzy, so we all of a sudden realiyed our Slovenian vastlz improved; all signs ...

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. We worked out a ''special'' drop off inbetween the two trips on the most beautiful island called the Red Island. the sun is finally shining and shining strong ...

... town past the harbor where tourist boats waited for customers and fisherman repaired their nets in what little shade they could find. Mauro guided us to the far end of town where the new hotel was being built. Directly across from a National park where locals were biking, swimming and enjoying the beautiful woods. We then dropped Father and Tyler back to the tender to head back to the ship. <br><br>Tim, the ...

... Leaping between the legs of burnt tourists Retreating to the slim alleys and lanes Marching up the old cobblestone forest Through the towns that all look - and feel- the same. The terracotta roofs darkened from rain Weathered from history, wars and neglect The Byzantine Church and the mosaic's fame Bringing in the droves to the town of Porec. I whisper a prayer an ode to her past, Let this old town never progress too fast.
