a stitch in time …

Lovely morning, breakfast at our digs and coffee in the old town to see a quicker way. Along the beach path, we met a couple a lot older than us on foldup bike, his brakes were on when he was going up hill. We tried to help him out, the cables were twisted around so constantly on, his wife’s okay … I showed him the problem. The bikes looked like he had just put them together from Amazon and went off for a ride. ‘Hey, dear, we need more exercise, I’ve bought some bikes for us to get our heart rate up.’ Oh well we sort of sorted him out and he was very appreciative. He didn’t speak English so there was a lot of ‘allora’ going on. I hope they sorted themselves out.

Meanwhile, we found a shortcut to the old town. John had a haircut and I’m booked in on Monday, but having panic attacks as to what this guy will do.

Back at digs, the landlord showing us his pet turtles, a 70yo mum and dad, 4 x 17yo, 4 babies born this year and 6 x 2yo. He breeds them. Very cute, heaps of cut up tomatoes for them to eat.

Then off to the other village Veli Losenj only 5km away with a beach around the point, Rovenska for a swim. Unfortunately, that ended a little badly, I slipped on some algae and split my eye socket open … what I do to see good looking young guys. The guy at the bar is a medical student, he dressed it and said he’d call an ambulance … you need stitches … no I said I’ll ride. At the hospital after a shower another young good looking Dr stitched me up … can I swim? (I knew the answer 😦 ) No, he said but you can ride your bike … funny bugger!!! So 10 days for the stitches to come out, then a swim.

John just wants to know if I can trim his moustache with one eye.

Back down to the beach to watch the peace and serenity and soak up the vitality of the sea air and pine scent.
