Woke to find it had rained overnight - we sure have some luck with rainy weather! We saw rain one afternoon when we were in York for about 20 minutes and every other time it has rained, and that has not been often, it has either been when we were driving or during the night.
View from our hotel room balcony out over the Adriatic
Looked up a map last night and saw that Slovenia goes all the way to the coast and so seperates Croatia from Italy completely so when we return to Italy later this weekend we will need the vignette so that was the first purchase this morning (will need it also if we make our day trip into Slovenia tomorrow).
This morning and early part of the afternoon was spent in and around Umag's old town coupled with a walk around to the marina on the other side of the inner harbour.
The old town, small in size that it might be, has some quite pleasant streets to walk through
The city is very well kept and presented tidily and with some unique aspects such as this window made of block!
One always wonders what the inside of one of these buildings looks like now and I was able to get a photo from ground looking through a high window
If that is any indication they are colourfully decorated.
There is of course the obligatory church with the usual trappings but the style is somewhat different - more simplistic
The marina area on the other side of the harbour gives a lovely view back across to "Centro" as well as out over the Adriatic
Where the hell has Rangitoto gone??
If this was my yacht club I would find another sponsor as www.sinkovic.hr doesn't quite cut it
Our day was rounded off by another swim in front of the hotel which gave a nice relief from the low 30s we have enjoyed today.
