Trieste

This is the 4th day of my trip. I was really lack of sleep. But in order to catch an early morning bus to this city, I have to wake up before 6am. I am glad to have many advices from some people I met in the hostel. I could get on the bus without worrying too much. It was an old bus without toilet. But the chair can bend down. The driver was so kind(maybe?) to let me bring my luggage up without charging extra for using luggage carrier(maybe I should have bought a cheap rucksack, 65L for 20euro in Bled)There was not many people boarding the bus as well(most will prefer to go by train at 4pm in the afternoon, I suppose). This was really a tough journey as it pass through many hilly areas eg. Postojna. So no matter how good is the seat, I just have to be extra careful not to fall down.

After passing through a very easy checkpoint(don't even need to get down for passport check), here come the Trieste, a city built at the foot of coastal hill. However, my good luck does not last long. Without a proper map, I had a very hard time in locating the lodging(which is hidden at the level 3 of an apartment. The whole place sounds very quiet and a bit dodgy(but everything is perfectly alright.

Piazalle d' Italia

There is a very special mansion built by Austrian Duke about 200 years ago. It is called'Miramare Castle'. It is standing at a coastal cliff. To go there one must find a way to alight at its jungle like garden. Then, one has to walk across a small hill before seeing that building. The interior is quite cosy. It is like a ship sailing on the sea - rugged outside but very warm inside.castle Miramare
