On our way to Paris!

We left Rovinj at the gawd awful time of 6:30 am, got in a van for the 2 hour drive to the Trieste airport...once there, a 4 hour wait for our flight! From Trieste, to Milan only took 40 minutes, and another 4 hour wait before our flight to Paris. So yesterday, the last day of Dora's painting odyssey, we went out to an island overlooking Rovinj...

...this island is the home of a very fancy resort, and we had a picnic here...

...to be clear, it wasn't on that spot we had the picnic, it was in a nice shady spot, but Dora decided the ice was unfrozen enough to go swimming!!!

...she's one crazy lady! We got never before views of Rovinj...

...and just to porve that I took too much LSD in the 60's, guess what this is?

Pula...just about 45 mnutes from Rovinj....

Apparently, this is about 3/4 the size of the Colesseum in Rome...wow!

Tomorrow is our last day in Rovinj...it's been great here!

Rovinj...Venice.......Rovinj.............Venice..................where am I?

While Rovinj is a beautiful city, it seems to take on Venice-like photographic qualities...they all look the same! Rovinj is a relatively small place, and it hasn't taken too long not to get lost...well, for the most part. The key to Rovinj is that if you are walking uphill, you are going to the church, if you are walking downhill, you are going to the ocean...I can handle that! Uphill...

...downhill...

...uphill...

...downhill...

...you get the idea. All along the way, there are the flower boxes...

The reason Dora the Artist is here, is for this...

Before the sunset, DINNER!

On our way to the sunset, we saw these very cool doorways...

...and then the sunset...

Rovinj part 2

After risking my life to get photos of Rovinj for you from the top of the tower of death, I decided I would take a little stroll down to the waterfront...

Not a bad little skiff, eh? Here is the waterfront...full of cafe's...and the odd tourist...

Some flowers along the way...

...and a few more of Rovinj...

I'm drunk enough after dinner to stop posting photos...just my eloquent, and timely prose. You'll be sorry!
