Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: For sure take some shoes to the water because there are sharp stones and sea urchins. It is also handy for beaches because many people still prefer "taking" rather than "sharing" and you can find broken glass as well as cigarette ends on the beaches.
You can also buy very practical shoes on the main promenade, the price is around 50 KN.

We were advised to take the bus from Rabac up to old part of Labin (note: bus runs every two hours). After having a look round the old town and having a cooling beer the way back was down a track in the mountain. The start is near the bus stop at the bottom of old Labin. It's well signed so should find it easily. The descent can be steep and tricky so is not advised for anyone who has mobility difficulties. Take water as you can get hot even though you are shaded by trees.
It takes about an hour to do the full trip but is worth it for both the exercise and the scenery. Next time I fancy doing it the other way round, climb up, have several beers and then take the bus down!
