Rovinj · Istrian coast

Day 04Mon, June 15, 2026The Green Mouth
Rovinj → Lim Fjord → Rovinj · the oyster pontoon
“Twenty minutes inland, the sea narrows into a long green corridor between karst hills — the Lim Fjord. Wooden pontoons sit on the water like quiet animals. You eat oysters opened in front of you, drink cold malvazija, throw the shells back into the place they came from. Clay drinks from a metal bowl in the shade. Back at Amarin by three, the afternoon still long.”

Rovinj → Crveni Otok → Rovinj · the morning boat to Red Island
“Eight in the morning, the small boat from Rovinj harbour. Twenty minutes out — pine, white stone, the water unbelievably clear. A cove on the back side, away from the day-trippers. Clay rides on the bow with his ears blown back. Swim, sit, swim again. Back on the noon boat, hair still salt. Long lunch in the old town. Afternoon: nothing.”
