Slovenia day 9.5, 10 – Piran

Piran is a tiny old town on the Adriatic Sea. It’s a maze of cobblestone streets and tiny alleyways inside castle walls that are up against the sea. It’s very lively and atmospheric, full of seadood restaurants and little cafes. Our hotel was right in front of the water, with great views of the sea from our balcony.

Given how insaly hot it’s been (apparently there’s been a fucking heatwave the entiure time we’ve been in Slovenia), it was so nice to cool off ans go swimming. As i was swimming, i felt something brush up against my arm. I figured i was probably ust imagining things, but then it happened again, and again, and again. Looing down into the water, i could finally see that there were small golf ball sized jelly fish in the water. A lot of them. When we googled it, it turned out tht they were totally harmless, but it was still kind of creepy to be brushing up against weird floating blobby things all the time.

We ate some great seafood while we were there, including this giant whole sea bass and also this insane fried calamari plate. Yum!
