Me again Monty. :P
Not asking about numbers but I am hoping it has gone up from previously mentioned, particulary as the other dates in September have either sold out or are doing so well.
Makes me wonder if I smell. :s:D
Anyway I wanted to ask about the new optional excursion. Motovun and the truffle tasting. I really wanted to do this one as I love hill towns but I have taken note of what is said on the advice about having to ascend an uneven pathway, which obviously means having to DESCEND it again which worries me more. :)
I've done some research and reading on TA it does advise this , i.e cobblestones and some of the photos look a bit iffy for the ascent. However I have read that there is a shuttle bus that is payable and that you can use to get up (and I would imagine) also get down from the village. It's a trip that I would really like to do, so any chance you could find out from one of your sources if this does happen? Failing this I am happy to sit and have a drink somewhere while everyone else goes up to the village provided that there are bars/shops before the ascent. I did a similar thing in Slovenia last year when I knew that I would be struggling to make the descent from Bled Castle and was quite happy to do this. Then I could just participate in the light lunch and truffle tasting.
Secondly. The boat trip. I did this before from Rabac. We were lucky enough to have a brilliant day weather wise and it was great fun. However we never anchored anywhere for a swim and this is something that has never happened on the boat trips that I have been on despite it mentioning this in the itinerary. This doesn't bother me, and we had a nice hour in Cres instead. I am wondering if this boat trip (presumably going from Opatija?) is more likely to land at Krk than Cres as Krk is nearer to Opatija.
If you can't find out do not worry. :thumbup:
