A day at leisure for everyone today which is appreciated
after three days travelling.
I spend all morning in my room doing bookwork before
going for a stroll at lunchtime. It is a lovely day with a few clouds about but
very warm.
You can walk along the promenade at the front of the
hotel or can go from the back and down the main road, with both ways meeting at
the main bathing area. Opatija, and most of Croatia, is unusual as there are
very few sandy beaches and here there are lots of pebble beaches, swimming
areas amongst the rocks and concrete promenades that go right to the waters
edge. When I first came here I wasn’t sure about it all but now find it great
and it suits the resort. There are swimming areas in the clear sea and also
places for the toddlers to splash about in with the whole area lined with beautiful
hotels and numerous bars, cafes and restaurants.#
I adore it here.
I have a beer and a sandwich and the barman seemed to not
speak or understand much English when I sat down but as I came to pay (and tip)
his grasp of our language improved considerably!
I take a slow stroll back to the hotel with the intention
of working but ending up sleeping for three hours!! Told you I was tired!
I have an early night after dinner as feeling a tad
tired!!
