Last Week I have mostly been...
Arriving in Croatia
Riding into Croatia, across the border, to the beautiful coast and national park area near Pula, watching a mid table league 1 clash, a few penalties and by random I stayed at the Villa of the founding father of one of the biggest bike and music festivals in Europe, the biker legend "Dragan"!!!!











Dragan's Villa has come a long way since the first bed (see picture below), was added for what is now called "Glamping" at Glastonbury and other festivals.

Istra struggled to keep the local fans entertained or convert chances
It was a mid table clash but it was a saturday night so I was expecting a few more fans!  It was a cold night and with Dragan's escort we rode straight in. 
Dragan kept the pumpkin nuts flowing, which in my case meant about a dozen lasting an hour as I dislodge them from around my gums and swallow the shells as I attempt to perfect the art of eating them.  For tunably I picked up a massive pastry which was a cross between a Danish twirl in appearance and a Cornish Pasty in taste!

There was one guy seating on the letter "R" of the stadium who just would not move throughout the whole game. I'm not sure why he didn't move at all or why he insisted on seating no where near any other fans...

Dragan arranged a quick interview with the press at half time so I wasn't able to sample the beer (unfortunately), or more pumpkin seeds (fortunately)
