Here are some photos from a day trip to Croatia. My Finnish friend Ella had a friend from home visiting and they rented a car, so I was able to tag along on their trip south, along with Michael and Magda from the Czech Republic. We headed down the coast to the towns of Umag, Novigrad, and Porec, before heading inland to the hilltop town of Motovun. This part of Croatia is called Istria. If you look at a map it is a large peninsula with the city of Pula at the southern tip. Koper and much of south-western Slovenia are also part of Istria, and interestingly the Italian name for Koper is Capodistria, which means "head of Istria". It was a lovely trip, and I look forward to heading back that way to visit Rijeka and more of the Croatian Coast. Click the "Read More" link below to see more pictures.
Sights of note: olive orchards, adriatic sea, mideaval basillica, beautiful croatian landscape, amazing sunset in Motovun.
