I had just visited some family from Cres and we took the ferry to Rijeka and some other islands, but Rijeka is absolutely heaven on earth. Everything about Croatia is, but Rijeka alone is like a dream come true. The things I’d do to become a permanent citizen 😭

Rijeka is definitely not a spoy we were thinking of visiting when we finally make it to Croatia but the port area looks so beautiful and the market seems like such a local gem! That is such an amazing beach also... reminds us of one of the ones we went to near Kas in Turkey... that whole area has such an amazing coastline!

This city seems right up our alley…it looks like it’s a bit more affordable and less touristy? How amazing are the views from all the restaurants you are at, I especially like the cafe at the castle 🤩 you guys are so brave walking through the world war tunnel 🙈 I think I like the first beach better, just because of the colour of the water 😅💙 As Kendra was deciding to get in the water, I was like “Go Kendra, Go” 🤗 so glad you decided to get in 💪

Loved your lunch views on the first day although we are big fans of a bakery lunch to save time and money whilst exploring, your bakery lunches sounded great. Kendra that cocktail sounds just like one I ordered a few days ago, I shuddered with every sip! 😅 well done for getting into the water, cold water is so good for the body!

We can sure appreciate visiting a city that isn't as touristy. For a less touristy city it sure has plenty to do. I would definitely want to eat at Molo Longo for that view! Did you say you had monkfish there? That view from the castle was also quite nice 😍 I am glad at least one of your cocktails was good, I can't stand drinks that taste like medicine 😝
