After two days in Zagreb, we left for the island Krk, located in norhern part of Adriatic Sea, near the city of Rijeka. We travelled by the car, and in real manner, felt all the advantages of the super highway, that connected us with the island. What was before, one trip, three hours long, now or rather two years already, takes only an hour of time. And what is equal important, is that You pass on Your way, the beautiful bridges, viaducts and numerous, very well technically equipped tunnels, that represent the last word of the building technology.We passed by Karlovac on the river Kupa, then Vrbovsko and stopped in Ravna Gora. That was already the Primorje - Gorski Kotar county.Very picturesque surroundings, we've seen then, indeed, that is, mountainous region. After this little rest, we continued our journey, and by passing Delnice and Fužine, two very significant touristic sites, got to the Adriatic sea coast, near the very nice city, Rijeka. Turned to the southeast, toward Bakar and Kraljevica. Kraljevica is the oldest shipyard on the Adriatic and Bakar is a port for bulk cargo and before, in former Yugoslaviaknown by its coke factory. So, this way, we reached the arch bridge, that spans the narrows over the little island Saint Marco and passed on the inland of the Krk island.It pleased me at the first sight,with its country roads, little stony villages, vineyards, olive fields and above all, the towns as Krk, Vrbnik,Malinska,Njivice,Omisalj, Stara Baska, Punat.Here on island, You can make some biking, mountaineering on the nearby hills. You can visit the charming little churches and cathedrals in main cities on island. By the way, there is,even an airport here, in the outskirt of Omisalj, called "Rijeka". During the day, profit as much as You can, the beauties of the beaches, the sailing on the boats, or take the sailboard, due to, at moments, the strong winds, blowing through the narrows,between the Krk Island and mainland.In the evening hours, drop in some little restaurant or tavern, locally called, the "konoba" and take the fish with some white or red wine.Just excellent sojourn, we spent here for ten days.
