Decided to clump together the last few days as not really got much to tell woke up in hospital after a terrible nights sleep and the doctor came around and said that I could go home but had to wait until I had been in there for 24 hours so Ian came and got me and we got a taxi back to the room which cost 74 pounds the ripping off monster. But hoping can keep the reciepts and claim it back when we speak to ...

... to sit down as the pain was really getting to me. I knew then that I was going to faint I could tell after fainting a few times before everything goes weird and things start going fast I kinda thought I could stop myself but no joy. The next thing I knew Ian was trying to bring me round after putting me in the recovery position and had some tissue on my head as I had fell head first into 500 year old ...

Being born in Israel, and having travelled so much as a child, it is not easy to define a place my home. Trieste is the italian city in which I grew up, which helped me grow up. My home!

To p Things to See in Trieste

Trieste proves to be a rare gem before even entering it, thanks to the breathtaking view of the "Costiera", the seacoast which guides you ...

We worked out a ''special'' drop off inbetween the two trips on the most beautiful island called the Red Island. the sun is finally shining and shining strong ...

Feštinsko kraljevstvo is one of the numerous caves in Istria which counts around one thousand of them. The cave is located near Žminj in the village of Feština.

The name “kraljevstvo” (kingdom) was given by children. Children’s imagination, the richness of stalagmite and stalactite shapes which look like curtains, the particularity of their colours from milky white to red and brown, truly ...

So I took about 5 days off work (yeh cos I am working so incredibly hard, haha) and jumped on the train destined for Trieste. The town I have heard about ever since growing up as this was the place my Nonni (grandparents) had lived before moving to Australia 50 odd years ago. So a train ride from Milan to Trieste takes around 5 hours, but because of how great the train system is here, it took me about 6-7 hours there and on the way back!! Stupid train ...

... ago. A very worthwhile stop.

It was about 500-600 steps down to walk through the whole thing and come out the other end.....where the elevator back up was broken, meaning 500-600 steps to climb back up outside the exit, lots of fun on this boiling hot day!

... of Western Istria “accessible” via roads from the direction of Pazin and Buzet, and from the direction of Rijeka via the Ucka Tunnel, is in many respects an interesting town. The 11th century was of crucial significance for the development of Hum as it is today.

... town past the harbor where tourist boats waited for customers and fisherman repaired their nets in what little shade they could find. Mauro guided us to the far end of town where the new hotel was being built. Directly across from a National park where locals were biking, swimming and enjoying the beautiful woods. We then dropped Father and Tyler back to the tender to head back to the ship.
