Another lovely day today driving through the Serbian hills along the wine trail from Ptuj to Jeruzalem and Ozonom. Beautiful wines, gorgeous countryside and a nice (light) meal along the way. Then on to Zagreb and our Airbnb for the next 5 nights which is lovely but which is, unfortunately on the fucking 5th floor. Oh well fortunately I’ve made it up twice now and I guess it can only strengthen my legs for the massive hike down to the beach at Trieste. The apartment is good but the sense of how far things are is worse in Croatia than in Italy i.e. it is advertised and confirmed by our host that it is 500M from the main square when in fact it is 1.7 km. Our host said it was a 5-10 minute walk…well all I need to say about that is that he is a professional tennis player so he can probably do it in that time.
No complaints, it is much cooler today around 28 deg which is a huge relief in a town like Zagreb. We walked into town for a meal, got some stupid bloody Croatian crap money and walked home again. Its late, we’re tired and ready for bed.
Thanks for your email Rose, it is SO lovely to get an email from someone!! My leg…thank you for asking…it is holding up really well but the crunch is coming when the antibiotics finish tonight. I’m a bit scared of this moment but here’s hoping. It certainly looks good…scarred a browny colour but it has lost its hot redness so all should be well. I’ll take a photo in the morning and watch it closely. Starting to walk more and more so if all goes well i’ll be nearly normal.
Chris has changed your name in her address book Hammy!!! It is an old old entry into the address book. I haven’t even seen the photo she sent you.
