Fazana, Croatia

After enjoying another much-needed "sleep-in" day, we got up and headed by van to Fazana, Croatia (a little fisherman’s village about 25 min. away from Pula).  

Our hotel receptionist arranged for a shuttle to pick us up and take us to village where we would board a boat and spend the day touring the Brijuni National Park, a large network of islands off the coast of Croatia.

We arrived at Fazana about an hour before we had to board the boat which gave us plenty of time to walk around and explore.

The downtown area by the marina was really nice.  There were several restaurants, caffee and gelato bars, souvenir shops, etc.  We walked the promenade for a bit but the kids enjoyed playing in the park and throwing rocks in the water the most! 

Before boarding the boat we I had a cup of Croatian coffee while enjoying the view of the harbor.  Memories like this I will never forget (even if the coffee tasted like feet)!

The people of Fazana (as were all the people we met in Croatia) were very nice and many spoke English (or offered English menus).  Our kids made friends with this one little girl who lived there.  It turned out her parents own a villa in town and gave us their contact information for future stays.  Although we didn't stay there, if the villa is anything like the people, I’m sure the stay would be fantastic.  It was Villa Palazzo if you want to try it out…tell them Jackson and Maddy sent you!

After getting a caffeine fix we boarded the boat for Brijuni!
