For ease of narrative, I am going to put two interior visits together. We went borh to Motovun for lunch and to Karlic for truffle tasting. These were two days separated by a day trip to Pula - but it will get its own post.
We had a day out in the mountains (first of two.) Karlic the place where we did truffle tasting also does truffle hunts with their cute dogs. They of course have a shop to buy. It's about an hour and twenty minutes inland. On Wednesday we again headed in that direction for lunch in Motovun. Tuesday our plan is to head south to see the Roman ruins in Pula. So more to follow before we head back to Venice via Trieste.
and then Motovun
So we were off to Pula on Tuesday and had both midday sun and the golden sun at sunset on the Roman amphitheater which is the centerpiece of the city's antiquities. We also walked through a number of Roman gates and laid eyes on the teatro which was so disfigured by update that I said to Phil "they have ruined the ruin" and refused to even take a photo. It was a nice day trip from Rovinj
