Sooo it has been almost two weeks of Camp Croatia...
It is a summer camp social experiment through and through.
Nothing too exciting has occurred, just long hours of presentations, day trips into the city of Pula, oh, and laying on the rocky beach in our swimsuit on December 2 and 3. I even got a little color in my cheeks. When the weather is nice, Croatia is nice ...

... to getting us to Slovenia where on Friday I can then go and get the stiches out. So we have a bus ride in the morning bought the lady from the appartments some chocolates and left her a note to say thanks as she has been amazing with us letting us stay for nothing. So everyone dont worry I am well enough to be typing this blog today and will put on pics for the past few weeks when the computer will let me.

... 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.

Rovinj is our first stop with our new guests, my high school friends aboard. Unlike most of our guests when they first come aboard, my friends were very hyper and anxious to get out and have some fun.

I usually wake up around 8 AM and expected my friends to sleep in much later. But, shortly after my coffee service arrived, I heard a knock on my door and it was Jeff and Vance coming to wake me up. After ...

... to but Ian thinks not.

We got to our place where we are staying Rovinj about 7 in the evening and found our hotel its a little appartment with kitchen as we need to get back on budget and not spend so much money we popped out to have a look around and ended up having 3 large steiner pints of beer it was fun and then just went to bed we are both exhausted after being up since 4am and travelling through 3 countries.

... I will have that image transfixed in my mind for some time to come – probably the one I will remember most from Piran – a little spooky, as I think back on it, but very cool and mystifying as I watched.

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 ...

... I felt pretty sick in my stomach at that point, he was talking about a night in jail and I didn't know weather to laugh or cry! He finally let us off with a warning and said he'd be gone for a hour and when he came back we shouldn't be here. That was fair enough so we left Croatia pretty sharpish and back to a spot we knew in Italy, It was a sad but in retrospect funny way to end our Croatian leg and a relief in hindsight that nothing bad happened.

Rovinj is set on a small peninsula on the Istrian coast of Croatia, which is famous for its fine wines and truffles. Photos of Rovinj have appeared in advertisements and international travel publications, and it's one of Croatia's most scenic small coastal towns.

The medieval old city is a tangle of narrow, steep streets and steps leading ...

... of Italy and brightly-colored windowboxes filled with geraniums were also scattered around the city center.

The water was a deep teal green and looked so clean, even in the middle of a busy shipping port with 6-7 large container ships in port.

The Adriatic was a beautiful place to sail. Rolling hills covered in grape vines rose out of the water & were met by short mountains (foothills of the Julian Alps) on the Istrian peninsula.
