One hundred words: Gimino

I heard a story about this place in the heart of Istria.

It's a small town, but a big crossroad for all the country paths. A small windy road takes you into the tiny center and from there onwards you're on your own. There are so many ways one can go that there's no letter that could be used to describe its nature.

Life there is simple and relaxed. Keeping that in mind, one of the most popular locals' pastimes is sitting in a café, sipping a drink and observing numerous cars take getting lost and proudly concluding:

'Wrong turn'.

  1. hehe i'll have more stories for you as soon as read 'tijesna zemlja'.

    btw. 'wrong turn' in istrian dialect: 'žbalja je!' ;))

    i like the way Žminj (Gimino) looks on the map. since there are so many roads from one point to all directions it appears like rays of the Sun*

    can't wait till next road trip to a terra magicKa, my friend!

  2. I didn't want to (and had no idea how I even could) translate the Istrian phrase, but the point was made, I hope...
