Our days are flying even when we take a down day, remembering where we are or have been becomes a blur after awhile... but today we are off to visit the city of Rijeka... I read it is supposed to be well worth the visit, less visited than Dubrovnik or Spilt and Zadar, and not encouraged towards the tourists to go there, but eventually worth the visit..... and after going there I can say wow it sure is..... Much prettier than any of the other cities... the buildings are just amazing.. so big , the architecture is something else here... most dating back 17-20th centuries and most being exceptionally intricate in detail... from the windows surrounding, doors and plastered outer walls..... just beautiful I was in total awe of its real beauty...
yes many are ageing now and many need TLC as their skin like me is sagging and wrinkling... peeling in places showing their age... but many which are now modern business have had a revamp and are glowing...

We wandered around after the first most important meeting and that was with Macca.... John needed his cappuccino Grande....fortunately it was right in the middle of the CBD... with a beautiful big wide mall... with amazing buildings up and down either side if the mall... so once the meeting was complete off we set to investigate what Rijeka Mall had to offer... we found most of the, important ones on the map from the tourist info centre we hit up as soon as left our meeting with Macca!

Lunch for John was another meeting with Macca, no way was I going to impose him...so I waited to find something else.

We had parked by the harbour and ohh my glory the luxury Cruisers even one with 4 tires.... we took the roads back through the upmarket villages on the way back... had no idea they were upmarket until we started to go through them... the opulent homes and buildings were a dead give away, plus 3 massive casino’s and some huge resorts you could see that the up and coming headed to this spot for their getaways! I am quite happy with our abode bit of a climb up the hill for car and feet, also a maze of rabbit Warren roads... but well worth the climb for the view!

Late dinner again, having major, major issues uploading my pics here. I ha e come to the conclusion that the owners must have a cap on the amount of streaming or uploading that can be used... because for a simple lot of photos about 5-7 it takes up to 30 mins to load.... very frustrating and slow drawn out process... eventually I used some of my data on my phone, but last time I did that I used all my data up very quickly! We will see how I go this time!Leia mais
