Portorož & Koper

Yesterday when we were headed for camp I asked Raymond if he wanted to stop first to see about some fancy cakes in the next then over, but we were both so hot and bleh we didn’t care about sweets so just headed for camp. This morning after coming back from Piran I was like let’s go see what they have at the fancy treat place so we headed over to Portorož to see what we could see. It was only a quick stop, but it felt much nicer and upscale with lots of resort type places or fancy hotels with private “beaches” (none of the beaches are actual beaches. They are all cement walkways and benches and grassy areas). The first 4 photos are from there and the treats were so good!! Some of the best we have had on this trip! They had an almond cake with raspberry filling, chocolate with sour Cherry, and a rice cream thing which were all so tasty! I just realized I keep posting all these treats so it looks like we are eating a ton of sweets, but really we have a tiny bit at a time so our fridge is full of treats! I think today was the last of the treat places until the end of the trip so we have some to hold us over ;)

After getting our fancy cakes we headed on to Koper for Thai food lunch! We got pad Thai and a spicy glass noodle dish we have never had before. Both were okay, but the pad Thai was not what we were expecting flavor wise. Alright, but not really pad Thai. Oh well, still a good lunch.

After lunch we wandered the town and their small waterfront was super nice! Lots of fun benches, the water was gorgeous! It was really nice…until it turned into an industrial shipyard and cruise port. We wandered through town and there wasn’t much to see in the inner streets, then picked up a brownie (which was awful. It had a strange flavor), and some Black Forest gelato was amazing! It was like cherry chocolate chip, one of my favorites, but with “forest fruits.” So so good! Then it was back to the car to go to our final stop!Read more
