Japanese holiday

5 photos of a lizard basking on a rock 4 of a bus station midway to Rovinj 3 of an octogenarian muttering 'it don't cost much' 2 parts of the same brain arguing there must be more 1 of the empty soul you attempt to fill with click click. 0 bang bang you are dead, but still Japanese.

Pula is passing. Got to Split...

Galeb, galeb, flying south. So many miles journeyed in 2 days. On a wing with the breeze And arriving in Spilt to sail away. Up at 5:45 and into the Adriatic swell by 7am Rocking towards Zadar and next connection. Hopping on a bus and just in time for coach and a tiring journey I am an obvious pong and have barbarous moustache and roadway junkie air. In between mid point of the coast and leaving the mainland while money suffices and more funds surfaces Like a wrecked bounty the ship is at sea. Arrived in Vis at 9pm. Long and exhausting day. How I managed this I'll never know. Managed to get a reasonable 400kuna 4 night stay in an apartment. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Was gonna refuse, but thought hell why do that. Hopefully made some friends from the two whose ma and pa own numerous places on the island.  First wash of the trip is engaged. Now I want to chill. Cooking my own food from tomorrow. There is karaoke tonight. Hmm. It's Saturday night. Le...

Longwalking

Walked the long walk from campgermany to Rovinj. Coffee to wake up and tapas in Maistra, olives, Istrian ham and artichoke salad. No sign of girl in Finlandia No. 1 so can't ask her to marry me. Delboy Hvarska selling Calvin Klein's little chance of them being the real deal. More likely Kelvin Clain's. So many Europeans start the day with a fag and a beer. Women smoke with real gusto. More often than men. Mild to left. Ice cream to right. Gelato. More! I need more... Calvin klein Clean vilik Cleak livin Clean livik Will purchase another caffé and gelato.

Festival and sardines.

So half of me is ć, č or ž and the other is Lieb von englander, de zein. Mein gott. I am collecting litres of wine. Table wine. Everyday wine. Local wine. Rustique vino.  But a wine festival... Cool as. Tihana to Komiza. Vis. Trošt Silvano. Šorići. 13. A dozen sardines. The best least fishy ever. Maybe it kept my hangover at bay? Got back to tent. Slept well.

Wine in my sails

Quattro Stagioni 52kn So far they show zero smiles towards tourists. Neptun. Just did garlick soup followed by pizza. Not had a hostile linguistic conversation until now. Okay so Croatian must be the most complicated language. Right. Write 'it must be!' Obviously it is the hardest. That's because English is very easy...arrogant! Internet cafe VIP A-MAR. 6kn zen minuten. Second post card shipped to Ross on Wye. Don't ask me why...Sallyann perhaps? Cup of coffee time? Yes. Nope. Vino. Local and current vintage. Feel like I am putting weight on a little bit. However I am walking masses and not eating too badly perhaps I am? Cheese and sausages. Wolfdog in the yacht yard. Huge and monstrous. I am thinking with a crazy deutschen accent, bitte.

Friends

Gerhart Segfred. Berlin Brandenburg. 60 kilometer let me borrow there kulshank. Fridge. Havelland. Nice. But not one word of English. 

Piran, late night melancholy.

So I'm either working in Slovenia until the end of October early November or off to Pula tomorrow afternoon, which is in Croatia. This would be sad, however Piran is now a lot quieter. I maybe bartered for a reduced rate from Hostel Alibi if I do stay. But one never knows. And maybe a scooter for the month. But I'd much prefer a live in position in Hotel Bernardin. Simplifying the whole stay more. But I'm not too concerned. The sun set is awesome. But I forgot that I had seen one over the ocean a few times before. I've never witnessed a sunrise. That would be done in the east of England. But predicting a day with no clouds in autumn will be hard I'm sure. Next stop Dragonja on Croat/Sloveniani border prior to a bus to camp site recommended by the girl I met on the coach from Trieste to Koper. The purple lighthouse that René took off from last night is flashing red This is suddenly a much more relaxed place. It deserves respect. I spy a flag of St. Andrews. ...
