Park Hotel Rovinj

... 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.

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 ...

... 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 ended up getting three of the stewies and one of the deckies to go with us. With only four people aboard the work load was very light, so they were able 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 ...

... to but Ian thinks not. <br><br>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.<br>

... to make en route.<br><br>It took about an hour and a half to reach Ljubljana, Slovenia&#8217;s capital. From the highway, there were not clear signs pointing towards the center of the city, so, once again, it was kind of a **** shoot. After about thirty minutes of lucky guessing and a little backtracking, I finally spotted the castle and the pedestrian-only center of town. I lucked into a place to put my car (I hesitate to call it a parking spot ...

We met Mauro Dujmovic for our private walking tour of Rovinj. We went past an amazing market with local produce, olive oil and souvenirs. We wound our way up through the old village to the top where the church was. The view of the sea was breathtaking. We then went for traditional Croatian coffee at a seaside cafe. Very strong. <br><br>The sunny day turned blazingly hot. We wandered through the more modern part ...

We set out ealy one morning with a tight schedule - Postojna Caves, Predjama Castle, and Skocjan Caves in Slovenia by early afternoon, drinks in Trieste in Italy in the afternoon, then through Slovenia again to Rovinj on the Istrian coast of Croatia for the night. There were tours through the caves at specific times and we just made it to both by seconds. The Postojna caves are the largest cave complex in Europe, I believe - 21kms has been explored, but only about 8kms is ...

... I offered him the use of our power pump. He was so thankful he repaid the debt by giving us one of the most impressive displays of snoring later that night that we have ever heard. Every ten minutes he'd come up with a new set of sounds with a range of an orchestra. Not just breathing in, but out as well, earth shattering blasts erupting every half hour as he reset himself. Thankfully we did meet some nice neighbours. We were camped next to a Dutch couple with 3 children ...

... pretty town, which is kind of Dubrovnik without the cruise ships, or walls, but equally as pretty 9th June 2006 Hire a bike this morning, and cycle east and west of the city along the paths, to rocky beaches, and seeing differing perspectives of the town, finally returning to watch the start of the World Cup - the World Cup that clearly England are destined to win......
