Day one in Croatia

It is now Wednesday evening and we are relaxing in our accommodations in Rovinj after a rather filling meal at La Vela, an Italian Tratorria recommended by the landlord's wife.
 The time in Ljubljana sort of flew by leaving little time to write about it.
  Monday morning a free city tour kept us occupied and entertained by a guide who was clearly infatuated with his own city and seemed to have an answer to every question. During the tour we met up with our friend Ville who was, like us, exploring the city.
 After the tour we met up with him for a late lunch before he set off for the airport. The balance of the day was spent relaxing and resting up for another evening "on the town"- which, at our age, generally means staying up past 10!
  Tuesday was, essentially a rehash of Monday with the addition of a tour of the castle. A funicular ride up and down saved us from the Agony of De Feet!! I.e. The pain of walking the 3/4 km route up to the top of the hill.
 Upon returning to ground level we tried the offerings supplied by the food trucks at the central market. Susanna, as usual chose squid while I had my first sample of chevapicici in quite a while
 (don't quote me on the spelling) small skinless sausages made with lamb and varying amounts of pork ( depending on the  area- no pork if any clientele might be Muslim) Traditionally they are served on a flatbread with raw onions and sour cream or a puréed pepper mixture. These weren't the best but they were still pretty good.
 A quick power nap later we set off on our final exploration of the city, this time concentrating on the west side with a stop at the Serbian Orthodox Church of Saints Cyril and Methodius. ( I didn't know who they were either) but the church was beautifully decorated with a variety of frescoes making one think that it was very old, when in fact, it was actually built in 1936.
 From there we did a walk by of the American Embassy, a rather quaint looking chalet like building with Ottoman style features.
We eventually stumbled upon the house of Joze Plecnik, the architect who designed much of the city. With 3 minutes left till closing the curator let us have a quick look around before we made a fast exit, stopping at a neighbourhood bar for a quick beer before heading back to the city centre.
 While Ljubljana has several key places to visit, such as the castle and cathedral, it is really a place to simply wander and explore. The amazing architecture alone would keep one busy for hours on end. I'm sure we will be back.
