Primosten, Plitvika and Trieste

And now the final entries for this leg of the Big Trip. We had a great night at the local vino in Primosten, where we drank and ate like the locals. A litre of wine, some fried squid and baitfish, with a side of octopus salad cost next to nothing (probably because I was not paying). The wine was fantastic we all had too much to drink. Everyone was drunk, even the vino owner. It was great. The shop itself comprised of an open room with two huge wine barrels. The only decorations were the cured hams hanging from the roof. After the vino, and a spot of dinner, Weisie unilaterally decided to have a piggy back race up the hill...

There is a national park in Plitvika. It is unlike any I have seen before, replete with emerald green water, fish that are so tame they will eat from your hand, waterfalls, caves, and suspended wooden walk ways. Anyone going to Croatia has to put a day aside for this place. Amazing.




We took a coach via Slovenia back to Italy, where we spent the night in Trieste before catching the return flight to Stansted. Fortunately, there was a festival on and we spent our time shopping and looking at different food and trinket stores. During the evening we were treated to a street performance involving an overly enthusiastic sound system and ballerinas on pianos (below). It was an awesome trip and speak on behalf of Weisie in saying that it was a trip to remember. Thanks to all of the Pasha II crew!
