Day 24 - Monday July 4th

Weather - Very dry, hot and sunny. OVer 30.

Today was our chance to check out Pula. We walked into town, grabbed a GREAT coffee (both Hungary and Croatia make good coffee) and then headed to the ancient Roman Amphitheatre, which was pretty much like the coloseum in Rome, but in better condition and a little smaller. Last month, Jamiroquai played there - next month - Anastacia.

WE then took a short Adriatic Cruise (well, the Pula harbour, but it IS the Adriatic after all). We checked out some more ancient sites and churches in Pula, before getting changed and heading off to the beach.

The afternoon was spent lying by the Adriatic and taking dips when we got too hot in the 24 degree water. The only thing that was more enjoyable that that, was watching some of the beach-fashion victims around us, altho to them, I'm sure WE were the victims. The only negative about the beach was that our towels didn't really shield us from the rather large pebbles as well as our neighbour's lilos, deckchairs and wooden beach rolls.

Then it was off to a very romantic dinner just down from where we were staying, with a local wine and a setting sun over the boat harbour on the adriatic. That evening, the church bells lulled us off to sleep at 9pm.
