We left early like at 730am and met garry and sonia in the town square . We drove through towns and stopped at an estate of brightly colored houses . We then continued to take the back road to Trieste . We saw a small ski jump on the side of a hill and them headed out towards zadac and the motorway to go to Trieste. The speed limit on Slovenian roads is 130 km/ h. Pitty those cars near dad who overtook them and the black Mercedes who overtook us doing 150 plus. We followed the freeway and before we knew it the speed limit dropped to 50 and there was the border to Italy ! Then from the bush you come to a town called Opicina . We parked the car and got the tram to Trieste . It went down the mountain and hooked up to a pulley that took it down the steep hill . We then got the bus to a church on a hill and back to the wharf and got the ferry to Grignano Where pa and sonia took the boys swimming and Grahame and I tried to find the white castle on the shoreline . Well how wonderful it was to not find the entrance by the water open , so we had to walk up the s bend hill and through the gates of a beautiful garden ! We walked around the gardens and finally found the castle . It's stunning against the blue of the Adriatic Sea . Now all we have to do is find the stairs to get down and get the boys from the fenced pool area which is on the water with pontoons and slides in the water and small in ground pools as well . Kieran and Tristan were so happy to swim ! All we have to do is catch the no 6 bus back to Trieste and head to Carla's who is Sonia's sister and stay for an early dinner , then head back to Slovenia . I still reach for the seat belt with my right hand ! At least I don't try to change gears in the car with my left hand anymore. 😄
