Gate to Croatia: Rovinj & Camp Valalta


I arrived to Rovinj (in Croatia now, if you haven't followed) with Roberto and Marco.
It is a really quaint old city near the Adriatic sea, with a lovely old center, excellent sea (although the beaches here don't have sand - only rocks or concrete, or in the best case gravel).
The sea itself is very blue and clean, but somewhat cold (maybe because it's september now...)
We found a very nice apartment 5 minutes walk from the city center, for just 50 euros per night (together, not p.p). Pretty cheap. We wondered around the city, and I plan to stay here until wednesday morning, when Marco and Roberto return to Italy, and I continue south in Croatia.
On the border we got stopped and asked if we have any drugs. Apparently three guys going in a car seem suspicious here. Of course we didn't have any, and were let to enter Croatia.

Today I went to camp Valalta - voted first among naturist (hmmm, a shic word for nudist) camps around the world. It's really odd at first, everybody's naked around you, walking, riding on bike, bathing in the sun. Old people, young people, beautiful people, ugly people. Everyone.
But after a little while it became really great - it's just total freedom, nobody is embarrased in their bodies, everyone just walking as god (or nature, depend who you ask) made them. You really should try it, it's really awsome feeling walking around naked in the middle of the beach, and swimming and sunbathing, and nobody looks at you or care! Total freedom! If you don't know, it's totally not about sex and such stuff, it's just about feeling free about your body. and don't worry, I'm not appearing in the pictures (at least not in mine...).


By the way, they didn't want me to enter at first, because I came as a single man. Apparently they are afraid of perverts or something like that. But after I told them I came all the way from Israel just to come to their camp, they gave up and let me enter. I'm so persuading! Most people there were either families, or couples. I didn't really see any other singles (men or women) besides me, except one or two oldies.
Notice the following sign on the reception. What is special?















Yesterday night Marco made dinner - tomato&tuna pasta. Today I said I'll make something. I'm off to the supermarket to buy ingredients, I still have no idea what I will make. Tomorrow and the following day we'll probably go sightseeing in other cities in Istria - Pula, Porec and maybe also the Lim Canal.

Comments:
Maybe I should look for nude beaches in Australia!

...or maybe not.
