WE DO COOL STUFF..is pretty much our slogan when we have the opportunity to experience all of the amazing things that we do..Next stop on our list of COOL STUFF..Porec Croatia!
We arrived in Croatia on July 4th about 130. and My friend Jackie's father and his girlfriend who lives here arrived about 2pm..He has been an amazing help in planning our whole trip and especially our time in Croatia!
He gave us a great overview of the area ..things to do etc and we took a short walk around town. Then we headed inland up a mountain for a little wine tasting. It was a really nice winery and we brought a bottle to enjoy later. Back to Porec for an amazing dinner on the waterfron. We have had some great Istrian proscuitto - which is differnt than italian- I think I liked it more. For our entree we has very very fresh fish..great wine..all aroung amazing meal..Branko left to drive home and we headed to bed. Great 1st day in Croatia.
The town we are in in a waterfront peninsula town..with a long promenade with all kinds of shops and crazy things to buy..It seems to be getting more crowded and crazy as we get closer to the weekend..There are a few clubs aound us and a place for all of the luxury yachts and sailboats to dock.
Today we were up early for breakfast at the hotel and took a nice long walk. At 9am we were already sweating. I hear the US is breaking all kinds of heat records. Europe is too and we are still in the middle of an unusual heat wave.
We hopped on a boat to the neighboring Fortuna Island where we could rent beach chairs and relax. We spent most of the day between the chairs, water and napping. Very relaxing day. The water of the Adriatic is very clear but all rocks. We were glad Jackie told us to be sure we had water shoes. There is no way we would have been able to go in the water without them. Even the "beach" area is all pebbles and small stones so the beach shoes were a must have.
A little lunch break and another nap.. which we know is not going to be good when we have to go back to work and cannot take afternoon naps.
All caught up! Looking foward to 5 more days in Croatia!
