Took off from Stuttgart and landed an hour later in the tiny airport of Pula on the Istria peninsular of Croatia where I picked up a hire car and checked into a hotel near the beach to get ready for the half Ironman in Slovenia this weekend. I am staying in Croatia but driving across the border to Slovenia for the race. There must be quite a history to these two countries. Slovenia only has a very small coastline - Koper the city where the Ironman is held - whereas Croatia has a long one stretching many hundred kms. I imagine it was not easy to draw the border lines when the countries came into existence in the 1990s. Both used to be part of Yugoslavia. The last photo is my bike in its travel bag.
