FLYING: Triëst

Day two in Venice, or actually: Triëst. As I already mentioned in my previous post, I was really lucky to get an extra day in Venice due to heavy snowfall in Amsterdam (our flight got cancelled). So after a day of cycling around in Quarto D'Altino, I decided to go to Triëst the next day. The cockpit crew wanted to join me on a 1,45 hour train ride all the way to the east of Italy.

Triëst is a beautiful, chique and french looking (in my opinion) city in the east of Italy, next to the sea and close to the slovenian border. It was a beautiful train ride from Quarto D'Altino to Triëst. I can't believe there are so many vineyards in Italy! Amazing! We arrived around 2PM and went to a nice restaurant to grab some lunch. After lunch we walked around and ended up at the main square which was breathtaking!

And while the boys went for a beer in a local pub to warm up (they forgot their gloves and it was pretty cold that day), my ultimate goal was to see the sunset. I walked to the harbor and enjoyed one of the most spectacular and beautiful sunsets I've ever seen. It was such a beautiful and sunny day, perfect to visit a city as beautiful as Triëst. Words can't describe the beauty, so please be warned for an overload of pictures...
