Rijeka, Croatia

We only spent an afternoon in Rijeka but between the turquoise water and the rows of old fashioned fishing boats, the beauty of this city more than deserved its own blog post. Rijeka (pronounced ree-yay-kuh) is located on the northern end of the Croatian coast along the Adriatic Sea. It is the third largest city in Croatia (after Zagreb and Split) and an important sea port. My afternoon in Rijeka consisted of wandering through the downtown, walking along the canal and eating a delicious cheese pastry. No regrets.
