| Rovinj, Croatia |
Istria was the destination of our first roadtrip. We stopped in Porec and loved their seaside promenade -- from which we observed a sailing school in action. From there, we drove to our hotel in Rovinj, where we had an incredible view across the water of the old town. In one direction, we could walk to the old town in about 10 minutes, and in the other direction, the promenade continued for miles -- sandwiched between the ocean and little rocky beaches on one side and these gorgeous conifer forests on the other. In high season, Rovinj is apparently overrun with tourists, but in February, it was practically empty and we struggled to even find open restaurants. Adam and I were determined to find truffle pasta, an Istrian speciality, but the adorable little osteria situated on a cobblestone path with the truffle pasta on the handwritten stanchion was closed for renovation.
