We took a couple more trips - one overnight to Lake Bled to bid one of our favorite destinations a fond farewell, and the other trip for three nights to Croatia.
We stayed at Valamar Diamant Hotel in Poreč, which was really a great resort. The hotel was right near a "beach", which we were surprised to see had absolutely no sand. It was not at all what I was picturing. But, it was still totally beautiful. The beach itself was actually surrounded by beautiful forests of trees and the water was stunning.
There were lots of activities at the resort, including diving, go-carting, etc. Great things to do, especially if you do not have an infant!
It didn't really matter anyway, as I got horribly sick on Saturday. I had a horrible fever and was just awfully achy. I wasn't able to leave the hotel room again until Sunday night. We left on Monday. So, our vacation was not much of a vacation.
To redeem it, though, we traveled south about 45 minutes to another Istrian town, Rovinj. I was last there in October with my friend Ginny, and we had had such a great time that I wanted to take Chris there. So, the three of us wandered the gorgeous town and took in the sights. Chris, who had wandered into Poreč twice to try to get to a pharmacy for me, said that Rovinj had a lot more to offer. So, that made up for it!
We are just home relaxing this weekend, and trying to get our move in order. We FINALLY got our orders yesterday. For those not in the military, let me just tell you that it is ridiculous that we got our orders this late. I am hoping that we get our movers here September 28 & 29. Yikes!
So, today is all about trying to get a car ready to sell and a house ready to move. I can't believe this is already here. Has it really been three years since I left my job and we moved to Italy? It is definitely bittersweet.
There is so much to do! I am going to hyperventilate! We go to Piedmont for four days next weekend. I'll report on that trip later...
