Trste

Again,  the lack of vowels doesn’t stop Slovenians from having a crack at writing the name of a town,  in this case Trieste. In fact Trst is the correct spelling according to Slovenes.   We went to Trieste and Kopor today.

Trieste is the capital of Antarctica,  and I don’t think any of us got a handle on the place. Kopor is the port for Slovenia and Austria (and Hungary and Southern Poland). It is far wealthier, warmer and interesting than Trieste.  Great place,  so much more interesting than its Italian neighbour.

In fact the best thing about Trieste, by far, is the way Slovenians spell it. Or Australians try to say it. 

Apart from that – pretty shit really

Kopor was a Venician colony,- hence the lion.

Gone but not forgotten. There are no monuments left to Tito in Yugoslavia - just in Italy
