This morning I caught a bus to Credavagno, then a train to Trieste. Once in Trieste I caught a bus to Montemare, which is 7kms out of Trieste. I was here to see Maximillian's cliff top castle- excellent castle, love it, great location, has its own beach. Then caught the bus back to Trieste. Walked around the city, didn't appear to be much to see or do. Had lunch at a sidewalk cafe, while eating I was annoyed by a man trying to sell me a second hand looking book in Italian. i just shook my head, didn't want him to know what languages I spoke. Walked up the hill to the castle to find that it was closed for restoration. The castle had really good walls. Saw an old roman arch and arena that is still being used for performances. Caught the train back to Credavagno and bus to Aquilea.
