Piran and the Adriatic Sea

Our mission for the afternoon was to find a place to swim - easier said than done. The Italian coast from Trieste to Slovenia is all harbour and not very pretty - this must be where Trieste gets its bad name from. What was even more bizarre is that the little bits of coast where you could reach the water were absolutely jam packed with people. It was crazy out there. Thus we weren't even going to stop to try and park and swim there.

Phone went live/dead right on the border.

Once we were back on the Slovenian side we drove to Piran where the coast is much nicer and much less packed. We had a nice swim there before finding some accomodation at the local marine biology institute. For dinner we went into the town where we had a lovely dinner on the main plazza - you just can't beat mediteranean towns for atmosphere on a summer evening.
