I didn’t mention that the cruise on the Adriatic was aboard the Cunard ship, Queen Victoria. The first leg ended in Trieste. We were only in the downtown area, but it seemed like a very nice city. We had an excellent pizza for lunch in a little restaurant that wasn’t full of tourists. One of the bad things about cruises is that you’re surrounded by a bunch of stinking tourists. (Exclusive of Frau G and moi of course)
They were preparing for some big celebration in the main square.
This is the Verdi Opera House. I’m a big opera fan, especially Verdi.
Love the pics, but I don’t see a comic? (❁´◡`❁)
Any idea who the naked lady statue is?
Statue is of Venus.
Ah, yes, thanks. Standing in the sea shell like the Botticelli painting should have clued me in.
Statue is of Venus.
Hey – finally spotted a tourist that I recognize!
