ill leave my heart in porto viro
so i dont have much time, because a homecooked italian dinner is being cooked and ready to serve any minute.
thats right.
so, its been a while since i updated and a lot has happened but i will quickly recap.
croatia: i lived my dream. i sat on a blow up raft, floated in beautiful clear ocean waters surrounded by mountainous scenery, and drank a beer and took a nap. i can die happy.
i biked from rijeka to pula. it was a beautiful ride. pula wasnt so great. dave and i left.
biked to rovinj. rovinj is absolutely beautiful and if i get married i will spend my honeymoon there. the ride was hot. i got lost. it was hot. we stayed at a house with a woman who rented out rooms. dave and i bought fresh fish from the market to cook. but the womans husband insisted on cooking it for us. so dave, myself, and 3 norwegian girls in another room had a delicious homecooked croatian fish dinner. the most delicious thing ive ever had. had good talks with the man, though he spoke almost no english.
the ferry to venice: stormy. very bad. everyone on the ferry was puking everywhere. it was hilarious.
venice: most beautiful city ever. but too expensive. dave and i got a hotel and passed out around 8, and did not wake up utnil morning. but i walked around the entire city before that and the next day, so i feel i didnt miss much.
biked to porto viro. the ride kind of sucked. it was a highway. it was straight. it was flat. it was hot. it was boring. it was marshy. i pulled over to take a leak and got about 1000 misquito bites.
made it 75 km (not bad for half a days riding, i ddint leave venice till 2 or 3). pulled over in porto viro. looked for a campground. asked some guy. he told me to follow him. he took me to his house. i had a shower. his wife is cooking dinner for us. his son is about my age and speaks prety good english. im in the process of arguing with them to even let me sleep outside in my tent. nicest people ever. im blown away. i need to find soemthing else to say besdies thank you.
anyway, dont want to be rude. have to go out to the fam. next stop: ravenna, 'little venice'!
