While still sort of recovering from the trip to Venice we sailed to Trieste overnight. We disembarked this morning for a walk around town and to do a bit of shopping. We were met by Italian WWI hero - Nazario Sauro. Google him for a sad story.
The Port of Trieste seems much less touristy than most of the cruise ship ports we have been at in the past. It seem to have it's own work to do. Its history is very interesting, having been a political football bouncing from country to country during the 20th century.
On the way out Norma took an interesting photo showing a strange anchored vessel near the Trieste marina, its sail masts framing The Temple of Mother Mary on the hill above Trieste.
