The Long, The Short and The Tall

Last week we visited the smallest hilltop town in the world, in Vodjan we walked along the longest Street, in Rovinj we climbed 192 rickety steps up a 60m bell tower and today we squashed through the narrowest street which is where we are in Vrbnik. All other claims of longest, shortest, tallest etc are allowed!!

From our tiny, through the arch apartment we followed the maze of streets round and round and up and down the hill which is the old town of Vrbnik. As usual the church with its bell is at the top, right next to our apartment. The secret beach, well sign posted from the pretty harbour (and listed in all your guides!) is small and pebbly.

Plan A was pizza for lunch, plan B was wine tour and tasting for lunch. Plan B failed except for the buying of a bottle of wine, so pizza for lunch it was.

We bought cake and went to hide in the apartment from the impending storm. The weather forecast said rain from 3pm, by 4 it was thunder and lightning. The forecasters here are good. The temperature dropped from around 18° to about 9°. We’ve got the fire blazing again though.
