Finding food is different here...light lunches are sandwiches from bakeries...appies are like anchovies, little fried fish... cheese & meat...fish soup.... and pates and olive plates etc....so we were excited to find a noodle place... and it was excellent!
Food like home....but better by the sea...
Today was a walk about day...
And more yachts...
Passed by a high-end resort...super expensive stores... and the beach area down the way had beach lounge chair rentals for $160 euro a day!!! 2 nice padded lounge chairs, attached cocktail table and umbrella!!!
And it was busy!!!
As you got further from the resort, the Blue umbrella expensive rentals changed to $90 euro a day for a basic 2 lounge chairs with white umbrellas... it was stupid busy!!
The beach area was large, started with the ritzy area...mid range area....family and hammocks in the trees area to rocky beach and maybe not need a bathingsuit top kinda area..
And a beach bar mid way, only $4 euro each per beer... but you still pay for the toilet...I will never get used to asking a waiter..."where's your toilet?"...seems so odd...bathroom, washroom, even "water closet"...but toilet...odd
Saw this hand made dog bike rack...very interesting...we have been looking for one for Lu and nobody seems to make a good one.
Walked back into town and back to the apartment to cool off with a cold one. Oddly enough the balcony is up in the bedroom loft....makes it interesting climbing the ladder with drinks in hand...but we made it....
We headed out again and found a whole new area of Rovinj that we did not know about. This is by far our favourite city....we have many favourite apartments, beaches, areas, but as a whole, this is it.
We have seen these door covers...we assume they keep the flies and mosquitoes out... they look like dreadlocks!
My favourite ocean view... this was a small clothing boutique that just drew you in...
I think I need one of these!
And then this happened...Rovinj moment
We walked around this church and this lady was playing a violin and between the song, the moment in time, the view, the feelings of our "once in a lifetime holiday" coming to a close....I was overcome with emotion... and as I type this the emotions return... and I choke up...we pulled off this amazing holiday that I never thought we could do.......Croatia, you are beautiful!
Took me a bit, but we went back into Old Town for dinner... there are so many artist studios and shops along the way. I am always amazed at all the talented artists there are in this world.
Found a nice place for dinner, we were enjoying our white wine when dinner arrived....we felt like we needed to name George's dinner mates!!!
We had no idea what they were so I asked the waiter...he had a great sense of humour and he explained what to do with the little skampy buggers!
I had Lasagna....mine did not have eyes!!!!
Enjoyed our last sunset at the sea...
