Shower curtains (at least on more than one side of the shower) should be banned!! Felt like being wrapped up in a condom as I acted as a sticky plastic magnet. Hate them! First one on the trip!
Small things!
On which subject…you have to laugh…but the last four places in a row have had aircon in the room…with remote controllers…and each time the remote control comes wrapped in the thing to hang it on the wall. We have done the same thing at home! Daft really! Either screw the thing into the wall…or throw it away!! (..but one day…we might screw it to wall!)
Small things…for it has been a small day! A thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing one!
Even had time to go out for a chilled breakfast….coffee at a bar…who were more than happy for folk to drop over the road for whatever they might fancy from the bakery.
A steep climb to get over the hill to the ferry……but great views en route.
Very stony place…..and most of the stones are not from tumbled down walls….! Interesting wall here…to divide one stony place from another.
Joined a crew of old Italian bikers (of the BmW variety) on the short ferry crossing…and we arrived on Krk island.
Pronounced….just as you might expect!! (If you meed to put an i in the word, you’d put it between the first k and the r..!).
Then came across another great name…Vrh (for this one you might put an e between the r and the h…!).
10km over the hill and I arrived in Krk town itself.
Another gem!
The old town has been walled from Roman times…and much of the wall is still in place.
Much bigger/busier than Cres (there is a bridge connection to Krk from the mainland)…but still lovely. A lot of new housing…so it looks like the place is thriving.
So a lazy afternoon…planning and reading…(and not swimming as planned…..it started raining….only a few drops…but…!).
And now back in my usual hydration mode…awaiting Martin’s arrival!! Plane on time. No delays at Trieste (unlike bloody Stansted) so he should be just about on the island by now….dropping his car at Rijeka airport (on Krk)…before picking up a taxi here (bike and all!).
Busy day tomorrow…three ferries, three islands!!
