Wednesday 23rd
Really, as above. More of the same delight.
hursday 24rth ugust
Big, hard day but done and dusted, all goals achieved. Up early to shower, wash hair etc, even use some soap for the first time in ages. Its easy to go pretty feral in this environment. Then at 8am I decided to get my case up to the top of the hill. So up, up up I went. One step, pull the case after me, another step etc etc. Of course you can do it when you have to. Clean the house, but then I must admit Chris is a hard person to help. As we were dressed to go and didn’t want to have wet bathers and towels to deal with we had to endure looking at the ocean from above as the temperature soared and soared. Then up we went for the last time. We had time on our side so we went up into the Carst near the Slovenian border and had lunch in a lovely restaurant. Then over the border into Slovenia to get petrol. Its 1.98 Eu in Italy and 1.55 in Slovenia. all a lot more expensive than we are paying.
To Trieste station where it was 41 deg, returning the hire car and off to Rome. We had to change trains at Venezia Mestre. We managed to get help with the luggage on and off both trains. We arrived in Rome around 11pm and got a taxi home. So, So hot and exhausted. Midnight in Rome and it was 30 deg. The Romans are absolutely over it.
Today is my last day (25th Aug). A bit more shopping, coffee overlooking Piazza Navona, then packing and repacking trying to get it all to fit. Tonight we’re going out for dinner with Angie Berry then tomorrow I need to leave for the airport at 11.30 so there wont be much time for anything other than a lovely morning coffee.
So, for another holiday and another blog it is Ciao until next time.
