... insurance people. I got a letter off them and have to have my stiches out in 7 days time and got a prescription for some pain killers. So all we have been doing really is hiding out in our little apparment the woman who we are staying with is amazing and refused to charge Ian for the extra days that we have been staying and Ian has been great in looking after me. Making me soup and sausage and mash and ...

... me and what where the acoustics like. He told me to come up and see him so I was on my way up when I thought it would be funny to pretend I was a gladiator on a horse and started trotting into the arena next minute my leg went something pulled in my calf I know now that it was only a pulled muscle but I was in agony and Ian was laughing thinking my horse had gone lame.<br><br>I tried to hobble over to some ...

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 ...

... joked around for awhile, Jeff suggested that we go up to the sundeck as we cruised into Rovinj. So we got dressed and headed topside. We didn't end up going directly to Rovinj, but instead anchored near a beach and island off of Koversada, a few miles north of Rovinj.<br><br><br>The guys were a little nervous about going to a bare beach so we first pulled out the water toys nearby and played around in the ...

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 ...

... heard him exclaim &#8220;NO&#8221; in Croatian several times as if in exasperation as he looked at people&#8217;s tickets. We were the last ones in the row and he had the same unhappy reaction to our tickets. After his first exclamations of no he had gotten on the phone emphatically talking. Suddenly in the middle of nowhere the bus stopped and we wondered worriedly if this had to do with his unhappiness with some of our ...

... I made my way to the bus station. Rovinj was less than an hour away and it was in fact as beautiful as everyone described it. The town is along the Adriatic Sea and is filled with pastel colored buildings. I spent the first few hours just walking through the town and taking pictures. After taking a good set of photos, I made my way down to the beach. This is when I ran into Charlotte. She had just arrived and wanted to see the sights. I ...

... heading to the same place as us - the Pula Youth Hostel, so we all hopped on bus 2A To Verudella. Our hostel was pretty tops; it was on its own private bay, Valsaline Bay, and has all the necessities; a bar, internet (pretty pricey however), english speaking reception, awesome hazlenut flavoured icecream for 4kuna (1AUD = 4.5kuna) and the beach, of course! Sweltering in our London clothes, we immediately dumped our bags ...

The good thing about catching the early morning bus is that it gives you plenty of time to explore your next destination in the afternoon. The bad thing is you're the only one on the bus when it crosses the border, and the border guard decides to actually do his job for once. I've never been hauled off the bus and taken into a searching room before, and I was conjuring up all sorts of unpleasant ...

... of arm flailing and face-pulling and ended with a 25% discount and a promise to 'move upstairs' tomorrow. This we did, having survived the damp, and stayed in a room with 1980s hairdressing photos on the wall and what looked like a dog skin on the floor. We had not found the best place to stay, but she was delighted. The first night there were 10 people staying there - Paul was in the kitchen, and we reckoned she sould be raking in about 300USD that night ...
