Pula and then home again

Getting to Pula from Plitvice took a good part of a day so we rang ahead for a place to stay. Well, Gabrielle called ahead which was pretty funny as there were a few language difficulties. The lady we stayed with was kinda crazy and seemed to love us, continually talking to us in Croatian.

Pula had a bunch of Roman ruins spread throughout the city including a very impressive amphitheatre and some seriously ankle twisting flagstones. We spent the last two nights just chilling out (like we hadn't been already) before heading home.

Croatia was great to travel through for quite a few reasons. Apart from being a beautiful place it was also very easy to navigate as English was so widespread and the country is set up for the tourist, which makes sense as it is their major industry. Even little things like being able to drink the tap water was great.

We jetted back to Dublin with Mum and Dad and parted ways with them for the next couple of weeks as they did a bit of travel themselves. Our flight back to Glasgow was delayed so we didn't get in til quite late. Fancy sitting in an airport for 6 hours waiting for a 40 minute flight!?!
