The flights to Pula were an irresistible bargain at only £16 return, which effectively meant that they were being subsidised by Ryanair because we didn’t even have to pay the full Government flight taxes. Sitting next to us was a couple from Kenilworth who had an impressive capacity for drinks from the sky-bar. They loaded up with beers and whiskey on its first pass down the aisle and they restocked when it returned back the other way. I like a gin and tonic to help pass the flight but I couldn’t possibly compete with these two heavyweight boozers.
Ryanair actually doing something for it’s customers…that is unbelievable
Also £16…that was a bargain…surely that did not include hotel? What a great visit that was..maybe one day i shall follow in the footsteps of that`great traveller Andrew Petcher and gaze in wonder of all that he has seen !!!!!

The trip was some time ago now, Ryanair isn’t so cheap any more!

Hi Andrew, was there in Pula many years ago (Yugo-days). Amphitheatre was the highlight, wasn’t over imressed with Pula in general and made a bee-line for Rovinj! Enjoyed Croatia/Yugoslavia back then but haven’t been back since.

Went back last year – Pula is improving but agree with you about Rovinj – Thanks for the comment!

I liked Pula – we stayed in an apartment about 50 metres from the arena. The night we left Elton John played a gig in it – glad we were out of the country by then!
