So we decided to splurge with the hotel in Verona and Trieste a bit and boy is it nice......its like a vacation on our extended vacation......we got to this hotel here in Trieste, beautiful and right on the water. Jason sweet talked the receptionist (though he thought she said small king instead of smoking - his Italian is improving ...

... he is asking me if I am ok every minute and wont let me get out of bed to do anything. We have spent three days just doing nothing in the room but on sunday we went out for a walk and I seem to be getting better at one point I think that I wanted to come home but what difference does it make being here or at home. We have some sunshine now and I can just relax. <br><br>I have slept for nearly 14 hours ...

... I did not know what had happened and I think I was knocked out for a few minutes so Ian went to get some help and they called an ambulance. They were amazing really the lady from the theatre was cool helping me to get up but I could not walk and felt like I was going to pass out again. Anyways got taken to hospital in Pula and spent the next few hours having xrays and scans and allsorts. They had to put 4 ...

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 took the tender to shore and no one was on the beach where we landed, but there were more people scattered ...

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 ...

The castle sits at the top of a hill overlooking the square. Down from the main square is a bridge, called the dragon bridge &#8211; the dragons on either side are said to guard the city.

... 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 ...

... around in near privacy. After visiting Porec in the first half of the day it was time to visit Rovinj which is equally as touristy and equally as nice. Just like in Porec the main draw to Rovinj is (gasp!) another church. This one wasn't as nice the one in Porec but the walk through the town was the nicest part.
