Zdravo! From Croatia. Well it has been an exciting couple of days. The weather has been unsettled with rain, wind and sun. The temperature is quite mild. Yesterday we visited the capitol of Slovenia, Jubliana. A very beautiful city. We returned to our campground had a nice dinner, visited with our neighbors from Great Britain and turned in. The wind was blowing fairly strong and we thought fair weather was at hand. We went to bed and settled in when it let lose, rain like we’ve never seen before with strong winds. I thought it wouldn’t last long wrong! Soon Joel said the bed is wet. What! Sure enough our little bumble bee had sprung a leak. We moped up as best we could and went back to our soggy bed. A long night. What a mess and it was still raining in the morning. We decided the heck with it and wadded up the wet towels and bedding and headed down the road to Croatia. It rained all the way to Rijeka. The sun peeked out and we could see the Adriatic Sea, so beautiful. Well it was lunch time so we stopped to get some Croatian Kuna, bought some groceries. Big mistake as I was starving so I got lots of goodies. We then headed down the coast to look for a place for lunch. We stopped at a tavern where the parking lot was full. When we parked the car we discovered that there was a fabulous view of Bakar. Bakar is a little town built on the side of a hill sloping down to the sea. It was gorgeous. Lunch was fabulous with fish soup, calamari and green noodles with shrimp scampi. Yummy!!! Wow our spirits sure picked up. A little further on we came to a sign for camping so we decided to check it out. To make the story short we are now all cleaned up, dried out and happy. We went for a long walk along the beach. There are lots of large old homes. Some have been remodeled and others need a little help, but they are wonderful. The water in the sea is warm and the clarity unbelievable. We watched a brilliant sunset, with the wind kissing the sea and making pretty patterns skitter across the water. Must mean sun tomorrow!!
