There was another big electrical storm last night. It is magnificent to have long hot days followed by lightning and thunder coming in across the bay at night. It clears the air and cools things down.
This morning it was still blowing a cool forceful wind, so a good day to go into town and get a few things done. Like get some money out given that we had zero between us. Also, a couple of lights had come on in the rentacar that we didn’t understand so we needed to find Budget to ask them what to do. This we did (find budget), it was at one of the wharves. We opened the doors to get out and immediately all the precious rental papers flew away, out the door. Chris had to fly after them, grabbing one of them just prior to it entering the water…yikes!!! A
Anyway one of them meant it needed something similar to Oil (but not oil). We went off to find a garage but, of course all closed for the middle of the day. So we went to find a bank, I had a bit of trouble getting one that would give me money, but I did, although it wouldn’t give me as much as I wanted.
Then of course what else to do but have lunch so we went back to a delicious restaurant we had been to last year and had a lovely lunch of sardines etc. The Restaurant was Osteria Istriano along the end of the foreshore of Trieste..A great place to eat.
Then we drove through Trieste so I could get a pair of spectacles, having already lost 2 pairs this trip and not having a pair in reserve. Not to mention my Italian toothbrushes!!
We kept trying to find a garage but by this time everything was closing for Ferragosto so we lucked out.
Back here to find that we had been invaded by young (and gorgeous, the bastards) Italians somehow related to Mariella who owns this house and their house next door. The ‘kids’ had taken over the ‘beach’ but fortunately haven’t stayed the night and as I write this they are gone again.
All is peaceful now, the wind has died down and the sun is setting over the Bay. We will eat clam spaghetti and that will be another day.
