Rijecka

Spent a sunny day wandering around Croatia 3rd largest city. We were berthed alongside the container terminal which was not a pretty spot. The shuttle bus dropped us near old town so that we could spend a few hours looking round markets both fish and farmers. Rosemary bought a bag of walnuts and a few funny wooden spoons, while Mark bought a typical cheese and potato pie. Then we walked under the actual 300m air raid tunnel built during WW2 before stopping for coffee. We took the bus up to Tsrat Castle for the views over the town and a glass of beer or in my case a spritz, then we walked back down via the 536 steps back to the shuttle. We arrived back on board in time for afternoon tea and then it's the last of the smart dinner nights. The surf and turf, lobster and beef wellington, was outstanding. In fact the food and service in the main restaurant has been excellent all week.
