Our first day of vacation took us to Lovran, a little seaside town right next to Rijeka. The drive was only a few hours, so we had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery. Once we got into Slovenia, we took a two-lane highway that wound through the hills and little villages.
And then we hit the border and crossed into Croatia!
We stayed in a quaint hotel right on the beach, and our room had a private balcony that afforded a great view of the ocean.
We spent the rest of the day on the beach. Donovan jumped in for a quick swim, but most of the time we just relaxed in the sun.
Dinner was the highlight of the day though, hands down. Unfortunately I didn't have a camera with me, so I can't share what the food looked like, but you can take my word for it that it was delicious. Donovan had a hamburger steak with melted cheese in the middle and I had gnocchi and shrimp in a cream wine sauce. Soo good!! We also split a bottle of wine, which took the waiter a good five minutes to open since the cork was being difficult...poor guy.
Maybe not the most exciting day of the trip, but it definitely got us in vacay-mode. Coming next....hiking in Paklenica National Park!
