Piran revisited, Izola & Koper

Last night I met Justyna from Gdansk, who is staying in the room next door, both travelling alone we decide to stick together for a day. As I didn't get enough of Piran yesterday I was happy to go back there as Justyna has not yet been. So spend part of the day exploring this pretty little town again.

From the castle walls again, I can see FK Piran putting into practice their training of yesterday as they apparently take on local rivals Izola.

Take a bus back ghalf way to Izola and walk through the harbour into the town which again is a small, old town full of zig zaggy streets lined with plenty of art shops and cafes.

After a gorgeous walk home along the coast watching the sun setting in a sky of ever changing colour, the last moments of the day, were spent watching some kind of rock climbing exhibition in the square in Koper, I was attracted there by the music, thinking there was a music concert going on on the stage, but sadly not.
