Cres, Croatia
We spent a morning looking around Pula, which was very pleasant, with some old Roman ruins, an amphitheatre and a diverting old town. I decided to spend the afternoon lazing, for the first time on the trip, on a beach. There was a very cosy, though pebbly, beach, literally on the doorstep of the youth hostel, as I had discovered the previous night, so we decided to go back there. A bar filled with ice-cold, cheap Croatian beer made the prospect even more tempting...
