Sunday 27th May
After a couple of days spent in the sea we decided to take a trip to Hum the smallest town in the world. This is a small walled town with about 20 houses in total, quite pretty even in the pouring rain! There is a quaint souvenir and art shop and another shop selling local wines, cheeses and truffles. As we have never had truffles before (My they are expensive) we bought some truffle paste and were given a recipe, we will try this out later and let you know the result. On the way back Jon got fined 500kn (50 pounds) for overtaking in the wrong place. He is not doing too well with the car lately!!
Tuesday 29th May
We popped over to Piran in Slovenia and had a slightly damp walk around the seaside town. The town has a heavy Venetian influence and was quite pretty. But as Jon put it he has seen so many of these little seaside towns that they no longer shake his tree!
Wednesday 30th May
My birthday, 21 again! Jon and the boys had made some cards, excellent home learning practising their writing skills, and I got a box of chocolates, which the boys promptly delved into. I spent a day with the boys by the sea whilst Jon studied, this was my choice, as sad as it may seem, if the boys are happy and entertained then so am I. Jon had organised with Bettina, the Austrian next door, to look after the boys in the evening so we could have a meal in the local restaurant. We arrived at the restaurant overlooking the bay just as the sun was setting, painting the sea orange and yellow, 10 minutes after sitting down a group of dolphins danced across the colourful sea, this really made my day!
