Making me soup and sausage and mash and ...

... to sit down as the pain was really getting to me. I knew then that I was going to faint I could tell after fainting a few times before everything goes weird and things start going fast I kinda thought I could stop myself but no joy. The next thing I knew Ian was trying to bring me round after putting me in the recovery position and had some tissue on my head as I had fell head first into 500 year old ...

... save some money I bought some food to eat in the room. We did not really do much today went back to the room after we had found a laundry for our clothes and then I cooked both me and Beebs a lovely chicken sunday dinner with potaoes and carrots and even found some stuff so that I could make Gravy sorry not much to say but we where so tired and just wanted to chill out.<br>

... 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 ...

... I will have that image transfixed in my mind for some time to come &#8211; probably the one I will remember most from Piran &#8211; a little spooky, as I think back on it, but very cool and mystifying as I watched.<br><br>When I awoke in the morning, the rain had not yet ceased, but fortunately, after breakfast, I was able to catch a lull, long enough to wander around the town for about an hour. As I am want to do, I immediately headed straight for the ...

... 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 ...

It has an interesting history including rule by Romans, Byzantine, Franks, Venice, Austria, Italy and finally Croatia. We walked up to the church and bell tower which are situated at the highest ...

... voices seemingly at each other rather than to each other. Maybe we'll have a better nights sleep tomorrow night.... "What's that Squirrelly thing?" asked Mandy. "I think it's a squirrel Mandy" I replied. We'd never seen a squirrel so we took a photo. There pretty funny little critters and very busy. They never stop, up trees, down trees, collecting nuts, burying nuts, moving nuts. Nuts! They have more than just squirrels in Rovinj, they also have some radical ...
