Oh boy Marisa! Storms in Trieste can be really scarey in late autumn and winter when the famous Bora wind blows people over! They have chains stretched along the streets and piazzas so that you can hold on..Wellington is almost the same, but not quite.

Whoops, sorry about the stormy welcome to Pola! Loved the photos, especially those in front of the Arena in Pola, and the Beach at Verudela. Nonna says she has lovely memories of when she swam at Verudela when she was young. You'll have to send her the Pola pictures when you can. She also said that if you look at the Forum photo in Pola arched building in the right of the photo was the Municipal offices where she and Nonno got married in the civil marriage ceremony which was required before the church ceremony. Love and good luck to you both.

Hi Meze and Craig,What a great trip - I'm enjoying your travel blog.It is pouring with rain in Brisbane for a change - There is a low off the coast - also very windy. Work goes on at QHSS .The revolving door continues....Mary G moved to RBH last week. Alina to PAH and Justin P is off os soon.Tara is the next one to escape Analytical - she leaves in October for the UK. Megan and Gavin are engaged! Rob and I are off to the islands off Gladstone for about nine days which should be good if the winds drop. Keep well and enjoy each day. Shirley
