Pula and Medulin

So, the coast trip begins. Our traveling companions Darryl (my best man from 2011) and Susan, his beloved. They met in 2011 on a train going from Zagreb to Budapest. They plan to recreate the journey in the next few days. First we drove to Pula.

 

 

 

While walking the promenade in Pula, Renata and I were reminiscing about the boat tour of the Briuni Islands that we took in 2011. Lo and behold, there was the boat, right where we left it. I ran over to have Renata take my photo in front of it, and all of a sudden, there was Suad, our tour guide. He remembered us from 2011, and so we ham it up a little for the camera. Very cool.

 

 

 

At our hotel in Medulin, (just 7kms from Pula, and where most of the hotels are for that area) Renata flies the Yukon Brewing colors in front of a huge kiwi plant.

 

 

 

 

In front of the colloseum is a statue worth a quick pic:

 

 

 

 

More coast posts to come. I'm a little tired now, and then off the have dinner with Ivan Markovich, Eka's special friend.

 

Cheers,
