Day 2 - Monday 10 July - Pula

Today I realised how much interesting culture and history Croatia has. This morning we did a walking tour of the impressive Roman amphitheatre, where gladiators used to fight and great concerts, with people like Pavarotti and Mick Hucknall, now take place. In the afternoon I joined up with an excursion to the medieval hill top villages of Motovun and Groznjan. Motovun is famous for an annual film festival that is held there and Groznjan is called the village of artists because so many live and work there. There are also musicians and we were treated to delightful violin music coming through an open window.
