So Trieste is a nice enough place to stop for a night or maybe two. It's great to be in Italy again and Trieste is Italy from the language to the food. Sure you can find Slovenian influence but who wouldn't expect this - the border is just a few miles away. Here are a few shots from our time here both food and around town. Going to bed and we're too tired to do much more blogging about Trieste. Bottom line if you are in the area it's worth a stop for the seafood (Osteria Istria) and worthy of 4 to 6 hours to see the sights.
I've got a shot somewhere of Carolyn eating the Sardines - she actually said they weren't bad.
Dinner from last night - the whitefish carpaccio in the lower left hand corner was particularly good
There was this giant set of stairs so we thought "why not". They went up...
and up...
And up some more until you reached the fortress of St Giacomo
The castle itself was OK but the view from the top and on the way down made the hike up worth it.
Bye for now - off to Padua tomorrow.
