Pula - Rovinj - Fazana - Pula

Single track along the shoreline.
Went for a mountain bike ride today up to Rovinj from Pula along the coastline.  Basically headed west until I hit the shoreline and then turned right and headed North.  

41km all up and fairly flat.  Not a long way by any stretch but my unfit legs were feeling the pain.  Along the way my odometer had stopped working and I'd assumed I only had a few k's to go.  Imagine my surprise when I saw a sign saying 15km to go.  Nearly fell off my bike because I was already buggered by then.  


Shoreline.
Nicki picked me up at Rovinj and we drove back to a place called Fazana which has some summer holiday resorts by the water.  Not the best weather for a swim but that didn't deter the boys who seem impervious to the cold.

Drove into town after that and Nicki made up a gift basket for my Aunty as a thanks for letting us stay.  Had dinner and "the best potatoes ever" and then went upstairs to spend the evening with my cousin and her husband.

Some lucky bloke's house along the way.
