Labin - Istria

Labin - a medieval warren of little cobbled streets, little cafes, get lost. See www.istra.com/rabac/eng/labin.asp. As with many old town centers, the parking is at a distance - and we walk. Be sure to write down where the car is. Better yet, we will try taking a picture of the street name and a landmark. How else to get help finding your way back?

What to get for a snack - I went for the teas, in glasses, many herbal varieties. There is always orange soda, or a local kind. See what is on other people's tables and ask for it, and ask to be shown where the word is on the menu, and jot it down. Menus can be daunting.

This site has a little map of the shape of Croatia, and where Istria is. Also photos. Again, search with stopping at the dot com, and only use the rest if needed to navigate. www.photocroatia.com/GALLERY/list.php?exhibition=67&pass=public&lang=eng
