Croatia/Slovenia 2

I’m back, sorry about the delay, we’ve been having really nice weather recently so I’ve been enjoying it. But here is the rest of my trip with Grandma and Auntie B (Also I found the pictures from the first two days, I thought it was weird that I didn’t have any, and I will post them at the end of this post)

Day 4:

Lots and lots of walking! We went first to the city of Pula where we got to see a coliseum, an old church, and lots of pretty buildings, it was also a really nice sunny day, even though it was a little cool.  Then onto Ravenija (sorry if I spelt it wrong) where we walked up a hill to see a beautiful cathedral. We also got gelato there, and mine was massive, I didn’t think I would be able to finish it, but it was hot and I love gelato! Then back to Porec where we were staying for supper and some more wandering around seeing the sites!

The Coliseum

These pots were found underneath the Coliseum, there were
hundreds of them

We all had ice cream, mine is the one in the front (yay Kiwi!)

Day 5:

We got up fairly early, and headed out to see the Slovenian caves. And they were fantastic. The first one was quite a hike, there were over 500 stairs and lots of hills and dips and everything. Our tour guide was awesome and she pointed out some really interesting features of the caves. You weren’t allowed to take photos inside, not that I could have anyway, it was really dark, and also I was kind  of busy making sure I didn’t trip over something. The second cave that we went to was absolutely beautiful, way more things to see, but our tour wasn’t the greatest, because there were three bus loads of tourists, which made our group in the hundreds, but because we had learned all about the caves in the first tour, it was nice to be able to see all of the various examples. There was also a very interesting train ride down into the tunnels. After the caves we headed out to Lake Bled, where we stayed for the night.

We were allowed to take pictures at this point.

This was at the exit of the first cave.

Day 6:

Our ‘lazy’ day. It was pouring rain, so there wasn’t a great deal of excitement for going outside, but we went on a lovely train tour around Lake Bled, and then spent a lot of the afternoon in the pool! We also got some shopping done. For supper we ended up in the coolest place. The waitress was fantastic and the food was delicious! I had fajitas for the first time in forever and even though I was totally stuffed I felt like I could have had 10 more!!!

Last Day:

Pretty much we drove home, and I said goodbye to my Grandma and Aunt, and they went to Vienna. I got a lot of laundry done, and also wrote up the first part of my Ireland blog post. Since then life has been pretty calm, just trying to get back into the swing of things, like homework (which you will notice I am not doing, but instead am working on this post J) Anyway, I should get back to that.

Here are the pictures from the first two days (see the last post) And also I want to say that Teddy did come with me, but unfortunately didn’t get into any photos in Slovenia or Croatia!

At the Austrian Restaurant for supper!

Lots of Love,
