So, after 7 years, we've sold our renovated stone house in #Istria. We decided it was time to embrace a new adventure in a new place.
We're super happy that our purchase of an Andalucian townhouse is progressing. If you'd like to follow our Spanish journey we're @andalucian_life

The main thing you need to know that it is not uncommon for vehicles coming towards you, to be either straddling the white line, or, on YOUR side of the road. Often accompanied by a driver on the phone.

A lovely new year's day trip to #Rovinj, to introduce visiting friends from #Didsbury in #Manchester to one of our favourite towns in #Istria. Delighted to report that they seemed to be as captivated as everyone else who visits.

So, recently we found Bread Point Bakery in #Porec, and loved it. Today, we're giving a shout out to Chada #Thai restaurant in Koper (and #Artegnana1798 in #Groznjan) as they are both pretty fab. And spicy! Very welcome in #Istria 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

If you've not visited Bread Point Bakery in #Porec before, we really recommend that you do. Especially if you are a fan of #sourdough. All breads are sourdough variations. And, this bakery/patisserie also makes the most fabulous croissants & cakes...

If you’re heading to Istria this year, consider popping over the border to experience the Slovenian Istria too! Here’s a nice piece on what to expect from Slovenia’s small bit of coastline (about 30 miles long):

Most of these places we visited on our first ever trip to #Istria. We fell in love and moved here, from #Manchester. Six years on, we're still here...

Dealing with @hrvatskitelekom is just AWFUL. Trying to get anything done via the chat facility - which now seems to be the ONLY way to contact them - is life sapping. Zero knowledge of anything, apparently.

Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in this beautiful, hilltop town.

When somewhere you've been meaning to visit for *ages*, because it literally is on your doorstep, and you go and you wonder why it's taken you so long.
That's what happened at #Medica #Agriturizam in the village of #Medici, in northern #Istria...
