You might want to complain about the bumpy boat ride with these speed catamarans from Venice to the Istrian coast; about three hours of almost flying and it’s in the “almost” the bumpyness lies: These speed boats glide on top of an hover cushion that is create between their two hulls, and the ride feels like on a straightened roller coaster in desperate need of rail maintenance. But I felt I wouldn’t want to trade in the arrival for one at even the best of the many air terminals I have been to. It’s my first time in Croatia and if the gods admit, it will not be my last one.

Rovinj is just a very beautiful spot and I can’t wait to come back ridin’ a true moto down along the coast. Yesterdays short trip on a scooter gave me enough of a taste what it will be like…
