On our way back to Belgium, we decided to sneak in about 10 days at a hub that friends were attending. It turned out that we actually knew 5 of the families attending the hub! It was also good to meet the hub organiser that we have been following on Facebook and communicating with for the past couple of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stayed in a campground called Valamar in Funtana near the town of Porec. Most of the other families had their own vans, but we stayed in a glamping tent. It was fun, but it was very cold at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campground was located on a penninsula and had several heated swimming pools and beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also had absolutely amazing sunsets!! Nearly every evening I stepped outside to take some photos of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while we were there, we celebrated C’s 16th birthday! A person from the campground even stopped by on his birthday morning and gave him a gift and a voucher for a free mocktail.<\/p>\n\n\n

We had a couple of potluck lunches by the beach, a couple of evening get-togethers, and a poker night for our last night. I agreed not to share any photos of people in the hub, so unfortunately I can’t post them here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up next: Belgium for a couple of weeks and then off to another continent…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
