…but now it’s all covered again and a storm is coming. Enjoy yesterday instead.
I went on a walk with Bestia and caught some lovely views, including wall-high waves splashing against the boardwalk, peculiar pink-blue sunset and a line of clouds just above the horizon. Today it’s a whole new story with dramatic clouds over the sea and new rain. But more about this tomorrow.
If Slovenia is indeed “the nation on the best location”, then Piran is its best located town, catching the last light of the day and most of its good weather.
If you click on a photo, you’ll be transported over here and we can have gelato.
Not bad dog-walking grounds.
Peninsula of happiness is getting a bit wet.
Restaurants won’t be happy.
These cars are about to catch a bit of salt. Never buy the car from the coast, they say. I did, Peugeot 404, my first car. After the rain, it splashed over my feet at every turn.
Our beach.
Steep, reinforced hillside with the path.
Children are screaming happily, instead.
All together.
The view from the City Wall.
Archangel Gabriel (strike that, it’s actually Michael), the weatherman. Since he is turned towards Trieste, the good weather should continue.
The Church of St. George.
Hiding the sun.
Meanwhile in Italy.
Mother calls me “Manja piraña”. It rhymes if you ever wondered how my name was pronounced. (It rhymes with “lasagna” too.)
“The Coast is the law.” Ad for a coastal radio station. “KP” is nearby Koper (It. Capodistria), whereas the coat-of-arms is of Piran.
These two dogs had the same route.
A bit of pink and a bit of blue: the perfect baby.
Thank you, Joey. It’s something else to be there among them. Photos of a sunset never do it justice. Father said: “Even I have similar to these.” Always the encourager.
Wow that wave is impressive!!! BTW, I clicked many photos because I really wanted to have gelato with you. I remember there’s a good place in Ljubljana for gelato. So hopefully some day we will meet up there 🙂
Ohh, I’m curious which gelato place in LJ you mean. Remember any details? Yes, I’d love that very much too. I’m always somewhere close, all you need is to get here. Thank you for clicking! 🙂
You know. I don’t remember the name of that place. I just know it was on the east side of the banks, and there was a cart under a big tree. But I’m sure I can find it if I see it again.
Beautiful! I could sit and watch waves like that for a long time. It’s a full sensory experience – the sound, the sight, the smell of the water, and if you’re close enough, getting splashed with the spray 🙂
Like you said though, I don’t think I’d like to have my car parked on the shoreline like that!!
Thanks, Joanne. I was way up the hill but could still hear the children scream. Parking is a huge problem in Piran. All its parking houses are constantly full. You are not allowed to park in the town proper – such as these in the photo – unless you’re a property owner with the yearly pass.

Beautiful sunset!! Those waves were pretty great, the scenery is gorgeous. I wish I was there to join on that walk.

Thank you, Farmgirl. Feels like the end of the world. When you get here, there’s just Italy left to go. Okay, and Croatia.

😉 Well, as you know, LJ is not big at all, and this gelateria is really centrally located. But I’m glad. And it’s really good.

Thanks for the warning if ever I find myself there. Finding parking is one of those things that always causes me stress.
