A very very early start, I hate 4am wake ups. But when you are heading back to heat can I really complain? ☀️
I had received a text asking me to put my hand luggage in the hold as the plane was full – absolutely fine I thought. Not until the lady at the check in desk said it was 4kg over weight (max is 8kg) – to which I responded, I didn’t have to bring it here and would have got away with it otherwise. She let me put it on for free. Charlotte 1 – Easywings lady 0.
A slight delay in the departure from Cologne, but non the less a smooth journey to Pula – the worlds smallest airport.
A bus transfer into Pula was the cheapest way to the centre – scheduled departure 9.15, pretty sure we didn’t leave until 9.30.
The bus dropped me off at the marina, already I had spotted the boat I wanted to hijack.
I had no idea where I was really so decided to grab a coffee and re group. I had initially thought to leave my bag somewhere and do the cultural sights. Who was I kidding, I will do those tomorrow. I got the bus to the area of my hotel and thankfully the room was available. With a sea view and a balcony I made a dash to a supermarket to buy the essential bottle of red to watch the sun go down later.
I then decided to check out the little swimming area at my hotel. A good read of my book and I must say I’m almost horizontal.
An afternoon by the sea/ pool led me to need a nap – who isn’t a fan of a siesta. Although once I woke up I felt like I could sleep for a thousand years. An early night was called for before a day of exploring.
