We were all a little slow to rise this morning. I’d slept through my alarm and we were so cosy after a mega thunderstorm last night. Honestly the sound of the rain was so heavy it felt like golf balls hitting the roof, and the first claps of thunder made me think someone had crashed.
Still this morning I had something fun planned. We ventured down the coast to Montys Dog Park and Bar in Crikvenica. The bar was closed but there was an agility course, balls and a swimming bay just for the dogs. We had a great time doing doggy Olympics. Given it was their first time doing agility they did really well and got masses of treats.
After a quick coffee and cake at Tos cafe we decided to drive to Pula. Again we had to use the toll road as the turning off to the minor road looked very minor and rough lol. Still the scenery was great. We haven’t had time to visit any of the islands this trip but Krk is meant to be lovely.
Pula is best known for its impressive amphitheatre which is in really good condition and only £6 to go inside. Reading the reviews that compare it to Romes, it’s cheaper, cleaner and less busy. I’ve not been to Rome yet, but it will be interesting to compare. Either way it’s rather magnificent. The dogs look bored…they preferred the park 🙄
Other Roman ruins include the Arch of the Sergii and Temple of Augustus. We also walked up the hill to the fortress which had nice views but is visually disappointing. We couldn’t go inside with the dogs but they often have art exhibitions or concerts there.
With our deadline to be out of Slovakia by the 15th November (otherwise you have to fit snow tyres), I decided to drive on in the dark to a tiny village just beyond the border. That gives us 7 days to explore our 18th country, so I best get researching! Any recommendations gladly received.
