Pula Croatia

Pula..found at the southern end of the Istrian peninsular of Croatia and goal of every single end of school year group trip in the entire world!!!

We're here to see the ancient stuff and to avoid where possible getting suckered into buying cheap rubbishy tourist tat.

We came into Croatia from Trieste, driving briefly through Slovenia on Saturday and although our journey was on clear roads the queue of lemmings at the Slovenian/Croatian border going out of Croatia was at least 3km long.  Memo to self avoid crossing borders on a Saturday whenever possible!

We have prepared for our return trip by stocking up on water and munchies....just in case.  

nothing quite like discovering a VERY well stocked fridge and pantry in your apartment



Colisseum/Arena arches

Fishing net decor..the fishing fleet is alive and well here

getting up early is the only way to avoid all those school parties

Temple of Augustus.  This was bombed heavily at the end of WW2 but restored  in 1947

Tourists catered for!



Much smoking going on here still


fishing and leisure fleets in great numbers

 Next stop Grado and Aquileia for more historical sites
