... down it is raining, a lot.
But, we took a group trip on a boat to Rovinj where we had a tour and then stopped for "Hot Chocolate" which was really just melted chocolate with whipped cream on top, and it was delicious. On the boat on the way back to Pula we had a dance party while cruising through the big waves, which was quite the thrill.
We pass our days by counting ...

... 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.

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 ...

... head phones on it was doing his head in. We had to go through passport control which was a border on the motorway and we got our passports checked first by the Slovenian Police then by the Croatian police as we had to go through Slovenia to get to Croatia. We are coming back to Slovenia but in a few days time. The police did not stamp my passport and I was really dissapointed I am sure because Croatia is not an EU country he ...

... les poissons et éviter les piqûres d'oursins. Le paysage côtier est magnifique et l'eau limpide. Nous répèterons l'opération 1h30 de marche plus loin, puis sur le chemin du retour.

Cette journée nous a ouvert l'appétit : dîner dans une "spaghetteria" sur le port accompagné d'un succulent vin blanc et retour à la chambre pour une bonne nuit.

... and I joined Mauro at his favorite restaurant and ordered a typical Croatian lunch. Grilled vegetable, grilled fish, calamari and of course beer. We watched a class of young sailors practicing in the bay right in next to our table. He told us many Italians come to Croatia for the food.

Mauro told us how he grew up in this small town and now is an English professor at a local college. His only ...

... the main harbor. It looks much like an old Italian fishing village, with the same stucco homes, window shutters, flowerboxes, and simple wooden fishing boats.

The hilltop church of Saint Euphemia can be seen for miles, and overlooks the water and nearby islands. Legend says the sarcophogus of St. Euphemia floated onshore in Rovinj after ...

... warm hospitality and unbelievable food! Marko´s grandparents in Cres had a beautiful room prepared for us that is usually used by tourists during the summer. They went out of their way to make us feel at home and make sure that we have an enjoyable trip. The island of Cres itself is paradise on earth. We have had a great time swimming, tanning, hiking and boating. The island provides anything a person might want in order to enjoy the outdoors.
