Motovun

Friday 2^nd May

After a supermarket shop (try reading Croatian labeling) we moved all of 30 km inland to the lovely medieval hilltop town of Motovun. What a difference. Gone are the crowds, prices are cheaper and we are on a nice camperstop for motorhomes only. No ghettos here. The views are stunning all around us.

We managed to walk around the town walls before the inevitable thunderstorm appeared (recurring event this at the moment). Feels like time has stood still in some of the steep, narrow cobbled streets. Bit scruffy in places but full of character. It is also truffle central.

I am sitting  here typing this up watching the rain clouds waft down the valley below us. feels like we are floating above the valley floor.  Bottle of Lasko beer tonight for me – 55p for 500ml.  Cheeky little local merlot for Tina!  Somebody has to do it.
