... after a head injury. In the evening we popped out to try and find something to eat was just about to give up seeing as everything is shut and closed when Ian went ahead and found a kebab shop so got some take away kebabs and ate them in the room then watched all the worst american sitcoms ever on the tv the only things that we could find in english. Which I have to admit was better than watching BBC world news which I had been ...

... all so we caught the bus to Krk Town and found a sheltered spot to swim there. We then found a note in our guide book about a wind called The Bura, and you can tell its coming when white clouds form over the mountains, which they had. It can get so strong it can tip cars over! The next morning it was worse so we gave up and headed inland..... after getting the shock of our lives with the campsite bill... so expensive!!!!

... cyclable, qui devient un chemin, qui devient un sentier... jusqu'à ce qu'on perde sa trace! Nous continuons à l'aveuglette en suivant le littoral. L'eau turquoise nous attire comme un aimant, nous devons nous arrêtez pour piquer une tête!

En Croatie, maillots de bain, chaussures d'eau et masques sont nécessaires pour vaincre les rochers ...

L'arrivée sur cette île marque réellement le début de notre voyage. Cette petite ville paraît sortir de nulle part!

Les îles de Cres et de Losinj ne formaient qu'une à l'époque des Liburniens (1600 av J-C). C'est pour faciliter la navigation qu'il construisèrent un chenal d'eau de mer au niveau de la ville d'Osor. Aujourd'hui, Cres et Mali Losinj font partis des villes principales des 2 ...

... nous pensons pouvoir récupérer la ligne de bus Rijeka-Cres. Notre surprise est aussi grande que notre déception quand nous découvrons cette minuscule gare au milieu de nulle part. On se croirait revenu 50 ans en arrière, le contraste est total (mention particulière au chef de gare derière son bureau et sa liasse de papier, parlant un anglais impeccable)! Le problème, c'est ...

... in the castle just walk aroundto see the pond and surrounding nature.

The rest of the day we spand in the Internet bar on the way to Lipice workin on our blog, not easy work guys; believe us...

In the evening we continue our way to Liice to see a lot of horses :-) We park just near the stables, very bad night,Alena can't fll asleep at all... it will be a looong night!

I jumped the bus in Pula, and headed off for Rijeka, just a hop, skip, and jump. When I left, I saw a roadsign saying 100km to Rijeka. But, this bus went everywhere but straight. After 1 hr. on the bus, I saw another sign saying 100km to Rijeka. But at least I got to see more of Croatia. I wondered why my ticket cost so much (100 konas, or about 20 ...

... ago. A very worthwhile stop.

It was about 500-600 steps down to walk through the whole thing and come out the other end.....where the elevator back up was broken, meaning 500-600 steps to climb back up outside the exit, lots of fun on this boiling hot day!

... as the clouds rapidly appeared and disappeared. Not knowing when the rain would come we picked the morning to walk along a seafront promenade that stretched from our town to the next, six kilometers in all. Our goal was two fold. First, there was not much else to do in the town and this seemed a comprehensible objective that would be entertaining and consume a lot of time. Second, the tourist office had promised us a playground at the end. A playground always generates a lot of ...

... castle was built roughly 800 years ago, and since then was passing from one noble to another. But the most colorful character in its history was the Baron Erazem Predjamski, sort of slovenian Robin Hood. He managed to stay independent for years as a Hungarian (?) king supporter, in the middle of then-Austrian territory. Numerous attacks and sieges on his castle failed because of the secret passage through the cave, through which he could ...
