TimeOut

Part II, Istria

 


Istria has a complex story, and maybe Damian can tell us more about it.

It was an Osterreich place, then Italian, then Yougoslavian, and now a Croatian province...

Never mind, this is a beautiful and very pleasant place to spend some time!

Here some pics of a lovely City called Buje..

Note the particular style of the Church, a typical Istrian style you will see in all the Village of this part of Croatia..



God I love this town, here in a spectacular angle...



And there, on the top, offering you a vast panorama of the landscape, unique, beautiful, with a small village on the top of the pic, you hardly see, but which I will detail right now..BRTONIGLA ( Verteneglio, in Italian )...



So, here we are, BRTONIGLA is a pearl, a treasure, with its small houses, its unique ambiance, so uniqque that you believe for a moment that you live in another era, 50 years ago...





The Istrian Church, once again...



And some old houses...







One of my very favourite Tree...The Fig Tree, for its very nice sweet odor, and its esthetic...



After some tourist activities, let's have some rest on the beach...

Go down BRTONIGLA, drive 5 kilometers, and you will qarrive at Karigador...





Even my dog seemed to be happy!





As for the car, yes, this is a great GT, very pleasant to drive for such a long trip...

And it seems that its color perfectly matches with the landscape, isn't it???



Are you hungry?

Do you like See Food?

Here's a place for you...LOL





Time to go, now, and to take the car to go near Pula, more on the south...at some 30 kilometers from Rovigno, another greatissime place to see, but unfortunately, not this year...



Something very weird and beautiful, a road separating the laguna and the sea...



Another speciality of this part of Istria, the " Casetta "..." Small House ", build in stones, very nice!



And an odd church...



Well, it's tilme to go back to Trieste, and that's all for this summer, my friends...



Hope you enjoyed!

Best.

Nicolas
