Try este?
The Internet showed we would make Trieste at 9, but when we got to the train station the ticket agent saved us about 50 dollars and 4hours tonight by connecting us thru Milan, Venice to Trieste. It was more crowded, but we were thankful for the extra time when we arrived because..... There was no Internet to be found. We planned on having it to contact our host tonight, checking the bus schedule, and to comfort general malaise. Instead we were forced to hurry to the bus stop, give a fanatic call to our host, and then get on the bus to his house without really knowing where it was. The bus promptly drove 2 minutes, pulled into the station and took a half hour break, but we were too nervous to get off. As soon as we moved we communicated what stop we neded with two locals, one of whom actually got off with us, walked us to a bar and told us to use the phone! Kind and helpful indeed. Tonight we are surfing along with a German girl and her mom, on her first experience. We all made couscous for dinner and shared some of Alagnas finest bread. Trieste is beautiful!!!!!! But well see for sure tomorrow. Buona notte

Well, that was a bit nerve wracking but you appeared to have made it to Trieste. Isnt this place famous for a leaning tower or something? Maybe I have it mixed up with another place. looking for more details, love DAD
ReplyDeleteNot sure, I will look. There r castles that we intend to see today. We got a phone today because we experienced a bit of an uneasy feeling last night with no phone or Internet to contact our host. We have 2 days between our next stop in Venice so thinking about hoping border to either Slovenia or Croatia...suggestions or recommendations? Love u
ReplyDeleteHey guys, this is my latest attempt to communicate. Last three are in cyberspace. As I said before, I'm right there vicariously along side you. I bring up pictures on the internet of Trieste, Alps and so forth. I was really getting attached to Luca and Elena. Now for the next adventure! I'm so proud of you guys and I pray for you often. Can hardly wait to see where we go next. Love, Nani
