Another instalment of my recent engagement with my grandfather's postcard collection
I've went there in the late 1980s. The old city was beautiful, especially at night.
The modern stuff was a weird time-travel trip to the 1970s, architecture and style-wise.
And 1 000:- as pocket money lasted you two weeks. Including eating out every night.
Ha, different times and PPP, too.
The difference between old and socialist brutalism is appalling all along the coast…
Very nice! Do you have any of Istria?
I recall seeing some from the (similarly pre-1914) 'Austrian riviera', i.e., from Opatija, Labin, etc.
I shall check again and post some in January!
What a glorious place 💕
Thank you
Cheers!
