This morning up early and via tripadvisor a little bakery cafe for breakfast in Zagreb near our hotel. Then we walked down to the Shereton hotel to our rental car agent fleet, and collected the car early and decided to leave Zagreb one day early. Raced back to the hotel packed our bags and off we went toward the sea, not before the usual road block to anony us and the sat Nav biatch, seems to be a thing with us. As every time we hire a car it seems we get some kind of glitch in the first few minutes in a strange place, with different road rules. All good we made it onto the highway towards Rovinj, except I thought let’s go to Motovun, as I read lots of reviews how it’s like the Tuscany of Croatia. We weren’t disappointed as it was a Cracker of a day for driving, beautiful sunshine and great scenic roads.

The real car, got upgraded from the golf to this new Passat which Peter besides keeps trying to get in on the right hand side to drive, is loving driving as its brand new sports model, even better amazing on fuel. The view of the town we have just been to. Which we parked at the bottom and took a bus to the top as no cars allowed in the village, unless you live there.-
Arrived at around 5pm to Opatija which I had not done any research into and OMG is Stunning! It is a big tourist town, Noosa and Waikiki on steroids, T Kay put this on your list, Di Sy would think she had arrived in heaven! The buildings are beautiful, so pretty the colours architecture- love it love it!
