Island Hopping

Rab Harbour taken on our way to dinner.

We are now island hopping down the Croatian coast.

We caught the bus from Rovinj to Rijeka and then a catamaran down past the islands of Krk and Cres to Rab where we are now.

Rijeka is Croatia’s third largest city but is not a great tourist destination. We spent a few hours walking about the pedestrian streets and along the waterfront. We checked out the Roman Arch and the beautiful Hapsburg buildings but the St Vitus’ Cathedral was closed when we arrived.
Rab is a beautiful island and a fantastic little town. Lots of marble cobblestones that look great but are hell to wheel your bag along! Our room has a view over the harbour and across to the four city towers.

We depart tonight for our next island, Pag. There is only one ferry per day and it leaves at 6.45 pm.

Cobblestones and high heels are also a bad combo.
