Saturday night we were dancing at Cantera, a disco near the sea at Sistiana, about 11 kilometers from Trieste, so Sunday morning we were all a little tired. But the weather on Sunday was gorgeous so we decided to head into Slovenia for a cheap lunch. As usual Chris and Dodi led the way, this time to a small place off the main road, but surrounded by hills and fields. We had a great lunch, light as usual for Slovenia - with ljubljanska, patate in teccia and a few cold beers! In order to work off the calorific lunch though we had a game of Boccia (aka boules, or petanque). Team Rome/Kansas (Dani and Chris) beat the guys from Friuli (Luca and Massi), and the girls - Dodi and I - beat Team Rome/Kansas - making the girls the reigning champions!
We headed back to Trieste to pick up Walter as he is leaving for Bologna and Lamborghini today and we had agreed to go for dinner to bid him farewell. So we went to Muggia to a wonderful place on the pier with a 270 degree view of the sea. It is owned by a consortium of fishermen who bring in the catch in the morning, and cook it in the evening. It was a magnificent place, and a very nice evening by the sea to say ciao to Wally. The restaurant is one of those places that you need to be in the know to find - but I wish we had found it sooner. The view from the end of the molo was amazing too - the city sparkles at night and you can see across to Slovenia too.
