Sounds like a highly civilised one - a place that hasn't had to prove itself, but has been left to grow at its own pace, suiting itself; that 'free port' status of later development evidently did much to enhance it - ie open to the world, with the confidence such status brings (& few of the drawbacks). <br />Ravishing photos; love the pink and blue shades you've caught.<br />Great to see you back: greetings from another city between sea and mountains!Minniehttp://minniebeaniste.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-26479057641520366162010-06-21T20:40:24.074+01:002010-06-21T20:40:24.074+01:00Think we should have taken your advice on the rest...Think we should have taken your advice on the restaurants as well as Le Corderie, which we came to love for its delightful staff and, of course the breakfasts. Evening meal-wise we had two excellent meals and two bad ones (one very much our own fault, not being willing to venture more than twenty minutes from the hotel).Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-76322842501124609212010-06-21T19:41:05.764+01:002010-06-21T19:41:05.764+01:00We loved Trieste and the Adriatic so lovely, roman...We loved Trieste and the Adriatic so lovely, romantic and elegant, not to forget excellent restaurants also.<br />I was wondering where you were.Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03297393116796129135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-41647605487325817272010-06-21T17:32:18.681+01:002010-06-21T17:32:18.681+01:00I am so glad you are enjoying Trieste - it really ...I am so glad you are enjoying Trieste - it really is a special place.
