Motovun Motovun was our home base for exploring the Istrian Peninsula. We day tripped to Pula and Rovinj. Yes, went to Opatija on our way to Plitvice. Did quite a bit of the Croatian coast, including some of the islands. I started the whole trip in Zagreb, on my own as well as extra days in Ljubljana (I LOVED all of Slovenia - I did a bunch of local stuff while I was there, including the annual Cow's Ball). Definitely go for that Lake Bled excursion!! You'll love it! I hope you get good weather. I didn't get to the Postojna caves that I see on your itinerary (or the Ć kocjan caves, which I'm told are even cooler). The whole karst region is amazing. I would have liked to have gone to Sarajevo, but had already packed a 3 week itinerary and couldn't fit it in. Next time! Have a wonderful evening!
Glad you got to Motovun! Hi Nina! Following your posts. Sounds like a great itinerary. Glad you got to see Motovun. I stayed there for a couple of nights at the Hotel Kastel. What a steep climb to get to it, every day! But loved it and the town - and you're right: not overrun with tourists, at all! I had truffle pizza! xox
Motovun 2 nights might be too much over there, but if you were using it as a base and traveling around, I guess that would work. I just loved the area. Did you go to opatija?
Happy to keep hearing from you as you travel. Your trip sounds wonderful. Sorry we didn't get together before you left. My days were so busy with Ed. Ed is home from re-hab and all is going well. Looking forward to seeing you when you return. Keep enjoying. hugs, Sandra
Hello out there! Hey Nina! Glad you're having fun. Sorry the weather is being disagreeable. I certainly know what the aggravation of that!! I like the pics I can see, but some won't load and others are upside down. Not sure why? But keep posting!
Montenegro Can't understand the upside down thing. I also wrote a post the previous day, but it didn't work. This site is a bit of a pain. Got pix on the camera, but can't download to post. Must remember to use phone.
