Fri 12 Sep- it is a warm sunny day 26-27, and we decided to take the bus to Rijeka. The tickets are about $5.60 each for a round trip; the bus takes about 1/2 hour from Kastav down a winding, curving road. We walked around the town center on Korzo Street and the other pedestrian streets in the old town. We saw St. Vitus Cathedral (St. Vitus is the patron saint of Rijeka) and other famous landmarks, then had lunch at the renowned Municipium, which featured fish dishes somewhat overpriced for the quality and quantity, though the other menu choices were reasonable: bread with tuna pate $5, shrimp with pasta $11, 1/2 liter beer for $3.20 each. The fish (Orada) was $74/kg; Kiyomi had 0.45 kg for a charge of $37. She said the fish was good, but not that good.
After lunch we continued down Korzo to the fountains (Fontana Korzo and Fontana Jadranski trg), than headed back towards the bus station, past the Kawasaki fountain (presented to Rijeka by its sister-city Kawasaki, Japan). As we started looking for the bus station, Stan fired up the GPS, and fortunate it was, because we were headed in the wrong direction. It guided us back just in time to catch the bus, even though it does not have a map of Croatia, by saving the arrival point to Favorites, we could find our way back. We made Favorites several other locations, including our apartment in case we get turned around in the forest.
