Koper

Arrived in Koper at noon on Sunday so most of the shops were closed.  Wandered through old town, which is picturesque and very quiet until we got to Tito square where a roving street dance troupe set up with drummers, singers and lots of people dancing like the Timothy Leary Dancers (see previous blog.)    It looked as though they were having great fun.  We visited the church and climbed the bell tower.  This trip has been great for Cia.  She has not taken the elevator once and climbed the 204 steps up the bell tower with little difficulty. Of course the Cel had no difficulty at all even with his fear of having gained weight.  Tonight is our last night on the ship and it is hard to leave what we have come to consider home.  So tomorrow we go to the rental place for two nights in Venice and then our real home where we will spend a few days before leaving for almost a month down south to see the annular eclipse.  Hopefully those travels will be as good as these.  Next post Venice. Cruise tip: If just going to the old town of Koper,  walk on your own; no tour required.  Oh, and the 500 ml bottles of Lasko beer are highly recommended.
