Hill-fort

#142 - Croatia, Isria peninsula - Pula and Fažana, Arena and tunnels! (08/2015)

Pula is the capital and the largest city in Istria. It's not considered to be one of the main tourist destinations, but it is still a very interesting place.

After reaching the city in movie #141, I will take you by the famous Arena amphitheatre and along the coast to show you some beaches (impressive as well as those others). The plan was to go as far as Premantura and Medulin, where the best beaches seem to be, but my visit had to be cut short. This was all a part of my Rovinj-Pula-Rovinj ride and after taking a long time to get to Pula, I only had about three hours for it.

So, I went as far as Soline Cove and then back to the city centre, to show you almost the full circle around the old town, with most of the best-known Roman artifacts, plus the fort on the central hill. But, I also discovered some incredible tunnels beneath it and they were the best thing. :) Only open May-Sep and not offering much, just four main tunnels and a central hall. But they are very interesting, rideable, brilliant for hide and seek ;), about 15-20 C cooler than the outisde and can be used as shortcuts for getting around. Brilliant.

Finally, I visit the Arena once again and some parks, before leaving Pula by the train station for Fažana. Which is a really fascinating, beautiful little place, quite colourful as well, best know as the port for boats taking you to Brijuni islands (NP). Sadly, the ride seem to be quite expensive and you can only rent a bike once there, you can't bring your own. Still, a very nice little place and probably even better when you have the time to explore the beaches.

The only thing that's really annoying in the area are useless bike-path markings which only show direction and number, with no clue as to where they lead or how long and difficult that path is.

After watching the full movie, you will understand why my special greeting goes to people who don't insist on holding their kids' hands when exploring, especially boys and especiallier above 5-6 years of age. Kids really need to be exploring the world on their own, learning and developing, plus they also need their personal space, just like we all do. And just like we all need to be alone sometimes, especially after coming home from school. Plus, above all, it's really embarrassing to be held by someone. :) Besides, if you haven't already taught your kids how (not) to behave in public and in strange new places, holding their hands really won't matter one bit. ;) When you think about it, holding their hands is just parents being too lazy (and super-controlling), not wanting to worry about what their kids are doing and where. But kids are not rings to be worn on anyone's hands so please remember to give them freedom and personal space. After investing some time in teaching them manners and common sense. ;)

#141 - Croatia, Istria peninsula - From Rovinj to Pula Arena (08/2015)

Rovinj is arguably the most popular tourist summer destination of Istria, while Pula is the capital and the largest city of the peninsula, best known for its many Roman artifacts. As the distance is quite short, about 35 km, I tried connecting the two back in 2011, but had to give up due to bad timing. But in 2015, it finally happened! But is it really as simple as those 35 km imply? Well, it depends on how you want to ride and what you want to see.

I wanted to do a lot of offroading inside and outside of Rovinj. So, after all the exploration and a hurry in Pula itself, having to give up on Medulin and Premantura areas, I returned to Rovinj with exactly 100 km behind me.

Although this entire part of Istria lacks any real climbs and excitement, it makes up for it with beautiful towns and coastline and Pula proved to have a lot to offer. From the famous Arena amphitheatre and other Roman artifacts in the old city core, to the network of underground tunnels and forts on hills. Sadly, I didn't manage to get to the forts, but you will be able to enjoy much of the best known spots of Pula. And then, there's Fažana, an incredible tiny town/village just outside Pula, mostly popular for boat excursions to Brijuni islands (and NP). No bikes allowed on those boats, I'm afraid.

And although I did get a bit lost due to bad online maps and gps and did almost lose my GoPro camera and everything on it, this was a brilliant ride and one I would gladly repeat. Perhaps in more days than one. The only problem are local bike path signs which could really use some more info, like distance and the place they are taking you to.

My special greeting goes to people who patiently answer even the seemingly stupid questions we tourists may have. We can be confused or just tired and frustrated and you just never know whether a Pula visitor actually parked his car in Rovinj. :)

10 Things to do in Pula, Croatia Travel Guide Video Transcript: (Pola)

Pula was our first introduction to Croatia and what a way to start! Located on the Istrian peninsula, this seaside town is home to Roman ruins, ancient temples, and some delicious pizza. The town won us over right from day one, so in this video, we’re going to take you on a tour of Pula and show you some of the highlights:

The amphitheatre was built during the reign of Emperor Vespasian, at the same time the Colosseum in Rome was going up. What’s even more shocking is how well preserved it is; this is the only remaining Roman amphitheatre with all four side towers and three stories still standing.

As a travel tip, if you visit during the summer months, you can catch numerous events at the amphitheatre, including concerts, movie screenings, and even reenactments of games from Ancient Rome.

When it comes to boat tours, the most popular destination is , a group of small islands that sit out on the Adriatic Sea.

The islands have a few archaeological and cultural sites but though admission to the park used to be free, these days you have to join one of the official excursions arranged by the park or local tourist agencies.

As for Pula Cathedral, it turns out it was closed when we tried to visit, so we can only show you the outside.

After all that wandering around town, it was finally time for lunch. We arrived at Jupiter Pizzeria just as they were opening and didn’t waste any time grabbing a seat on their outdoor terrace.

The fortress we spotted turned out to be Pula Castle, also known as Kaštel. Located atop a hill right in the centre of Pula, this fortress was built by the Venetians during the 17th century.

Admission was 20 kuna per person and there were two different museums exhibits to visit, however, we’d argue that the main draw are the views.

Over the course of the centuries, the Temple of Augustus has seen many uses from a Christian church to a grain storehouse, but at present, it houses a very small 1-room museum – and when we say small, we mean you can visit in 5 minutes!

The Roman Mosaic is just a short walk from the Forum, so it’s worth the little detour down back streets. This incredible well-preserved floor depicts the Punishment of Dirce, which is straight out of Greek mythology.

Fort Meherangarh Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Fort Meherangarh in India.
Tall, proud and powerful, Fort Meherangarh is located on a hill a hundred and twenty metres above the Indian town of Jodhpur. The fort dates back to 1459 and Rao Jodha, the leader of the Rathor, one of the country’s most influential aristocratic families.The rooms, halls and courtyards of the palace still exude the legendary atmosphere and magical power of the former maharajas. However, gruesome events once took place in this location: the handprints of a former ruler’s wives serve as a reminder of a cruel Hindu tradition. The burning to death of widows on their dead husband’s funeral pyre was practised right up until the middle of the 20th century even though the then British colonial leaders prohibited it. Within sight of the fort there is another intriguing landmark of Jodhpur, the Jaswant Thada, magnificent burial place of the Rathor Dynasty. The garden was once used for cremation ceremonies. Its most striking memorial was built in honour of Jaswant Singh The Second. It is not surprising that Fort Meherangarh and the funeral monuments of Jaswant Thada are considered to be among the most important sites Jodhpur, former capital of the Marwar princes.
