Glad this day started so much better! We went for a swim and some beachvolley (but didn’t find anyone to play with…) and then packed up. Quick shopping and lunch stop and then off to the west coast of Istria. Stopped in Pazin to visit the medieval castle with the museum and looked for the famous chasm that has inspired Jules Vernes for his books. But apart from sliding down the hill in Flipflops we did not see the place where the water is supposed to disappear… On we went to Rovinj, a beautiful city with its old town on a peninsula. Our campsite just outside the town is more like a resort, really nice with good toilets and showers. Set up the tent in new record time of 17 minutes, and then went for a swim on the rocky coast. After showering (with tokens) we drove to town, had a nice, big fish dinner at the harbour and quickly went to an internet café. What a nice evening! Finished it with chocolate and a torch in front of the tent – and listened to the awfully loud liveband in the restaurant…
