The country side here is very green and hilly. Everywhere you go, you are either going up a hill or coming down one. I am ok on the down hills, but it takes me a while to get up the hills. It is a good thing that I have my kids to encourage me along.
The highway system here is out of this world, the engineering that has gone in to creating these highways and bridges is amazing! There is one exit that you can take that is a great big circle in the air! And then you drive down this long hill! Unbelievable!
We have spent a few days with Nick’s cousin who lives about 24 kilometres from Rijeka. They have a beautiful house with front and
We went to this village called Barkar, which has this old church, castle and a port. Nick’s cousin husband use to teach at the maritime school here. Barkar was a very interesting villiage.
Today we spend the afternoon with Nick’s other cousin who lives in an apartment in downtown Rijeka. They have a beautiful apartment that must be close to 90 years old. It was very big with high ceilings and doors that you open an close in each of the rooms. We spend the afternoon having a delicious!
As it was so hot for the last few days, we have not gone to the beach during the day. But, the other night before we went for dinner Hannah. Marcus and I when down to beach for a swim and it was just what the doctor ordered! Swimming in the Adriatic sea after a hot day is the most relaxing move one could make. The minute my toe hit the water, it felt like I was in a whole new world! We bobbed around in the sun set for about 45 minutes and it was so freshing! That is what a Croatian holiday is all about.
We have driven to the island of KRK, and it has the lots of beaches and places to walk around. Then we drove down further to Baska where we went down to the beach. It was not sandy beach and my feet did not like the little pebbles on the beach, but again, the cool water was inviting.
Both Hannah and Marcus are enjoying the water and have both gotten snorkel masks and have been pulling small rocks out of the ocean.
We got a wifi internet stick, so I think that I will be making entries more often.
