Heating up again after a day or 2 of respite. Antibiotics finished… that is a milestone and hopefully all will be well.
Yesterday we set off for the main square, working out how to use the tram at the same time. We sat in the square for a coffee and watched the world go by. We went to the tourist office for maps etc and headed for the upper old town via the cathedral which unfortunately had been destroyed by earthquake in 1880 and rebuilt…but very nicely I must say with lovely stained glass windows.
We then wandered around trying to find the market, succeeding after a few false starts. It’s a lovely market and Chris started buying cheeses, figs, corn and proscuitto, all of which I thought a little ill advised as we had to carry it all day but it I have to say it came in very handy when we had a lovely meal at home last night. We walked up and more up into the old town through the Stone Gate with the plaques for the dead lining the gate. We found a nice place to have a light lunch and a glass of wine. I must say our eating has settled down since leaving Slovenia and their massive meals behind. We walked up and around looking for a gallery we wanted to see, only to find it closed on a Monday!! Not to be daunted we went to the Museum of Naive Art which was really wonderful. We both loved the art. We got the funicular down from the heights and by then it was 4pm and I was tired and hot. I’m so wary of my leg so when Chris wanted to go out to some other gallery we parted company and I came home to get the leg up. Mind you parting company with Chris is an hourly phenomenon when I find myself looking around thinking where the hell has she gone now!!
As I said we had a lovely bottle of white in the fridge and the market food to pick at so this was a very relaxed evening at home which suited us both.
More after todays adventures.
