After what seemed an eternity, but
really was only a four hour bus ride, Toon and me arrived at PULA, a city in the north west of CROATIA. We had
reserved a hostel and headed there right away. When we had put our stuff away,
and had helped the hostel’s owners to construct their new garden fountain, we
hit the city for some quick sightseeing. We didn’t want to see too much of it
though, as we were going to do the real sightseeing along with both of our
girlfriends, who flew in the very next day.
On Monday, day 21, Liesbeth and
Heike (Toon’s gf) both flew in and every couple had his afternoon/evening on
its own. I had booked a private studio (with kitchenette, private bathroom
etc.) for us. Liesbeth and me went to the beach and chilled for a couple of
hours. Probably one of the best moments of the trip. Chilling on a (stone)
beach with the sun going down slowly in the ocean. Beautiful.

The next day we met up with the
other couple and the four of us did some sightseeing in the old city centre.
Pula used to be a very important city in the Roman Empire, proof is the big
coliseum and the (Victory?) Arch in the city centre. Today its beaches attract more people and the
city centre is only visited by tourists who want to do something else than
tanning for a change.

That evening, Liesbeth and me took a
night bus to Split, in the south of Croatia. Toon and Heike stayed in Pula one
more night and joined us there the next day. But that’s already for next post!
peace out_
