Having had a poor night's sleep (this place is awfully noisy except for about 3 hours during the night!) I decided that Friday 27th September would be a do nothing day - the first of our holiday. We stayed in bed late, sorted the washing and then set off to find the big COOP supermarket we had found the other day. Somehow, once we were on the road, we took the turning for Gorizia, hoping we would be luckier this time and find parking. We circled the centre of town for about half an hour and finally found a spot not too far from the centre where there was a food festival. That suited us down to the ground! Unfortunately, Jim forgot to take his camera from the car so the only photo we have is the one I took with my phone.
Just thinking - Carol might like to have her wedding here!
We had lunch at one of the many food stalls and wandered about, Jim sampling all that was on offer at the stalls. There was lots of Balkan food: Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia ; Hispanic: Argentina, Brazil, Mexico; Italian from all areas of Italy; French; German. We were most interested in the Balkan as that is newest to us. I bought some pesto from Liguria and some cheese spread and thin crispy bread from Sardinia.
Our quiet day turned out to be almost as active as all the other days. We might return to Gorizia when the festival is over and do the touristy bit.
Hooray! We are up to date!!
