Palma Hotel Pula

... 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 ...

... the beach further down the coast. Once we got the tender secured, the girls found a spot nearby to camp out at. I took off my clothes off and left then in the tender and began to walk further down the coast where more people were scattered around the coast. I left Jeff and Vance behind for them to deal with their own doubt and fears before they relaxed enough to get naked too. It didn't take long for Jeff ...

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 ...

... do you have in your bags?" "What do I have in my bag? Well sir, I have my pyjamas, some t-shirts, 7 pairs of dirty panties, 3 kg of cocaine and 10 illegal chinese to work at my clandestine workshop..."<br> Finally, 3 hours later we arrive to Zagreb. We just stay there for 15 minutes, the right time to buy our tickets to Rijeka (13&#8364;). There's about 5-6 hours from Zagreb to Rijeka but the landscape ...

We finally reached Pula around 9PM after a whole day of travel. We had a contact person in Pula who rents our apartments, but the plan was for us to contact him upon our arrival. Little did we know that every since payphone in Croatia requires a special calling card which can usually be purchased from pretty much any store, if they are open or if you have the right ...

... of London, $7 bottles of water, and muesli that presumably must be handrolled by the Dalai Lama despite seemingly being the exact same product we got in Germany for one fifth the price. Hmmm. Pula was mainly selected due to its virtues as a Ryanair destination, but it has some other allures. I was surprised by the magnitude and quality of preservation of a first century amphitheatre there. Its setting in the hills with the stone arches ...

... the car. For 45 minutes we counted the time between flashes and thunder and wondered if we would ever sleep. It was awful. Finally, we went back into the tent (if we didn't have so much **** in the car we would have slept there) and got a few hours of shaky sleep. What a welcome to Croatia. Oh, and the tarp is totally kaput, only two ropes where still attached in the morning. (http://www.germanytraveladvisor.com)

... a small port town with cheap high rise apartment accommodation. The best part about Pula is the youth hostel! Located about 10m for a private, superb beach area it is just amazing. Each night the sun sets perfectly in the bay, there are no mozzies and it is by far the best located hostel I have ever been in. The one downer has been the 60 odd 13 year olds that have been staying on school camp! I have decided that teenagers are the same all over the ...
