Mon 8 Sep- relaxing and working in Kastav

Mon 8 Sep- after a light breakfast of cereal, fruit and coffee on the rooftop terrace where we had a 300-degree view of the surrounding countryside and Adriatic, we visited the library to check the Internet for email, and to let everyone know we arrived here safely. The cost is KN 10/hour ($2), quite reasonable after some of the expensive hotel rates, and KN 1/page printed.
After a light lunch, we spent a few hours over coffee (cappuccino and white coffee for about $3.40) at Vidikovac, Kiyomi working on an article, and Stan reading Timothy Zahn's 'Distant Friends'. It was a beautiful day, so we sat outside on the terrace under a shady arbor enjoying the mild pleasant breeze, with a stunning view of the Adriatic, distant mountains, and Opatija a few miles away, at the bottom of the hill.
In the evening we had dinner at Vidikovac with Ivan, including 'manestrica' (minestrone soup), 'domaci kruh', 'plata Vidikovac' (a mixed grill platter, with chicken, veal, beef and sausage - the sausage provider was Ivan's family; apparently his father is a butcher and makes sausage and proscuitto), Hirter toceno draft beer, and Velebitsko bottled beer that Kiyomi wanted to try. All this for about $43. While we were eating, we learned more about the history and politics of Croatia, and discussed possible trips.
We picked up our laundry, and were surprised by the cost - about $51 for 7 items.
