Today, since there were more kilometers and there was an hour and a half difference between taking the highway or not, Thorqui and I decided to pay the toll and avoid some of the curves along the coast 😏. We actually arrived almost at the same time.
Today's stop also holds a special meaning for Thorsten because during the vacations they used to take as kids every summer on the family sailboat, this was one of the places where they absolutely loved to drop anchor😍. I haven't mentioned that Thorsten's father built a sailboat with his...
The road has brought us today to the city of Senj. We travel only a few kilometers because the roads, while not bad, have many curves, and it takes an average of three hours to cover 50 km, but we are in no hurry 😃.
Motorcycle visit to Pula and Rovinj from the Funtana campsite, with a stroll through the Roman amphitheater, the old town, the market, traditional Croatian food, and an afternoon wandering the streets and harbor of Rovinj.
Today was the first time since we started the trip that I was aware I was crossing a border because from Italy, on the route Thorqui and I took, we passed through Slovenia for about ten minutes before entering Croatia, and there were controls on both sides without actually stopping you, just a little...
The highlight of today's route was the city of Montagnana, one of the best-preserved medieval fortified complexes in the world. The interior has also remained intact, making the visit incredibly interesting 🦇.
Today the journey has been really tough for all four of us. An endless straight line dotted with towns that, well, it's not that they weren't interesting, it's just that they were on our way and since they weren't our destination and we hadn't read anything about them, we passed by feeling like they were preventing us from picking up some speed 🤦♀️.
Today we made the most of our stay at the campsite and had a leisurely breakfast while the day warmed up. Since the drive to Ovada by road was going to be quite heavy due to traffic, we decided last night that we would take the highway instead.
This morning we set off to the principality on our motorcycle for a little visit. To be honest, we went just to buy a sticker for Beast and to add the country to our list.
This morning we were short on road to leave, we were eager to continue with the journey. Our destination was a small campsite in the village of Peillon, fifteen kilometers from Nice and twenty from Monaco.
