Finally, a day on our own! We are staying near the resort town of Rovinj, a small Croation town on the Adriatic. To be more specific, we are staying in a beautiful resort hotel situated on a small island a short 20 minute boat ride from town. To quote our President: "This is an island surrounded by water..." The mammoth all-you-can-eat buffet we had last night included self serve beer and wine taps. The Adriatic coast of Croatia escaped the war, and it shows. The area reminds us of Italy, which makes sense, as Italy is just across the bay.
After a huge breakfast at our hotel/resort, we took the short boat ride to Rovinj. Its narrow colorful alleys with laundry hanging from the windows were just two reminders of Italy.
Figs in the local market place.
Lots of little surprising views of the water.
Rovinj is right on the Adriatic. The water is crystal clear. In the summer, the weather is hot and a major attraction for tourists wanting to take a dip in the warm water. Even now, there were a few brave swimmers.
Never too old to go on vacation!
