First look at Pula - Sunday 20th July 2014

Went in to Pula for a mooch and a look at the Colosseum followed by a stock up at the hypermarket Mercator. Supermarkets are very like home, lovely crusty bread and most items quite recognisable although cheddar cheese and Cadburys unobtainable (sad face).
We had a drink at a cafe right next to the colosseum which was incredibly reasonably priced, although the accomodation was dearer than venice everything else is cheaper here. Odd.

Croatian film festival - amazing setting

Don't give up the day job!

Later David and I went for a swim in the adriatic. Beach right by us (shingle) but very crowded so we walked around to a sort of park where we got in the water off the rocks, but unfortunately this freaked me out as I don't like touching seaweed or barnacles.Water cool but quite pleasant. When I got out and looked up had the horrible sight of ugly naked guy bending over! Traumatised or what. Nudism is quite common and tolerated here but as usual its the ones who should cover up who are most keen on getting their kit off.

Went for a walk in the evening to this old communist era lido which is now derelict.

Although there were lots of people about (its next to a camp site) and it is in a beautiful setting, something about the place gave me the creeps.
