Oh yes, this is Italy. Classy style, spontaneity, irresponsible charm, great coffee and inferior WC drains. This week-end we have been swimming at Grado beach, seen the villages around us. and Lily have made a sport of shouting ciao, ciao to the people she sees. Today we went to Trieste, what was intended as themajor port of the Habsburg Empire, and also James Joyces favourite city. Lily and Alice mostly in a good mood. We found out that the car indeed has a air condition-button. A very pleasant surprise. Tried to enter Slovenia, but realized that we needed passports (we left them at home in Strassoldo) since Slovenia is in the EU but not yet in the Schengen passport treaty. Passport mandatory? I asked. "Yes of course. Surprise, surprise", said the Slovenian border gard, in a rather unorthodox way. And heres an image of the castle Strassoldo, our nearest neighbour. The countess that lives in the castle sneaked out last night without shoes and had a curious peek at us. And by the way, check the small canoe and man swimming that can be seen at the other image, in the water far below our wiewing point in the hills over the Adriatic.
