A quick update on the last few days. Pula had a lot to offer; an ancient amphitheatre being the most stunning of many Roman ruins, a spectacular dining experience, and a nearby church with a collection of sacral art including mummified saints.
We did have a minor outbreak of homesickness in Pula brought on by travelling challenges but we watched a little Canadian telly (the marvels of technology) and our trip to Plitivice lakes the following day helped to shake off the blues. The lakes are located in a UNESCO world heritage national park. The lakes
are like dozens of cascading, clear pools of Listerine, even in the rain it was a stunning sight. The picture that you see here doesn’t do it justice. Ironically this beautiful, serene park was where the first shots of the Serb/ Croatian war of the 90’s were fired. It’s amazing that barely 10 years ago this country was at war and featured prominently in our evening news, but as we drive through the countryside we are reminded of this when we see the occasional house still riddled with bullet holes.

Just remember, being homesick is normal, it just lets all of us know that you are missing us and your lives here, bottem line, it means you are coming back, which is important!! Love the pic of the lakes, how beautiful!!!
What a great looking pond. I bet the country was equally impresive.
