Rovinj, how we love thee, let us count the ways...

Things we love about Rovinj, Istria, Croatia, in no particular order:

Our host, Maja, and her overly curious cat, Coco, with the broken leg (as a result of falling from the balcony... The cat, not Maja).

Our apartment... the Blue Door apartment with steep stairs, great views, wooden floors and white walls. We booked this via AirBNB

 









 







Views from the apartment.








Cold beer.  Cheap cold beer!


 Our little 'neighbourhood', where an old lady sat and said "Dober Dan" whenever we passed.



Truffles.

Cats.  Istrian cats hanging around restaurants and fishing boats.


Boats.


 Reflections.

Friendly, funny, flirty waiters.Sorry - no photos!

Truffles.  Cheap truffles!

Medieval, topsy-turvy town.  Buildings all atop one another.

 












Ochre and terracotta roofs and walls.


Steps leading down to rocks and the Adriatic Sea.

Truffles.

The crystalline Adriatic glinting in the sunlight.

The sun setting behind the old town.

Silly, slippery cobblestones.


Truffles.

Satisfaction of climbing 185 steep, sloping stairs to the top of St Euphemia's clock tower.  That's the high thing there.

 












The view from the top of the tower.

 No cars!





Did I mention truffles?
