6/5 Wednesday
We spend a few hours on the computer, setting up the next leg of our journey to Rovinj, a city on the
Adriatic sea close to the border with Slovenia. We find an apartment,
book it, and head out to the bus station to buy tickets for next week. All
done!
There’s a festival going on all
through the city this week, and the central square has seating and sound
systems set up, but unfortunately we’re at the break time, with a couple hours
before the evening music starts. We get some information and make plans to get
to a few of the venues tomorrow. Today, we just enjoy a coffee in the square,
buy some fruit at the market and walk back home through more city streets. On
one corner, there’s a statue of Nicolai Tesla, a national hero. He’s striking a
pretty morose pose, sort of like The Thinker, only mopier. Understandably so, I
guess. There are interesting small shops and cafes everywhere, tucked into the
doorways and courtyards along the streets. We pass one shop that, from what I
can see, sells racy lingerie outfits and such. The door is open and there’s a
scruffy sort of guy in attendance, and he’s got the shop pet – a fluffy little
white BUNNY!
We’ll eat in again tonight – we’ve
got plenty of arugula – for a third meat-free day. We’re almost feeling like
ourselves again. We spend an hour or so in a café, enjoying the cool spring
air, having a beer and writing our journals. Lots of people are out, walking
home or having drinks with friends.
