Trieste to Piran

Great day

Very windy and a little rainy.

Fantastic bike paths.

Getting out of Trieste was a little tricky was difficult to find the bike path.

Trieste dead rats unfriendly people.

Some climbing to get out of the city.

We joined the Eurovelo 8 and the Parenzana rail trail. The trail was n old narrow gauge rail trail so it did have some climbing.

Met a cute German couple who rode their bikes from Munich over the alps. We ran into them a few times today.

Rode through vineyards olive orchards and wooded areas.

Saw glimpses of the Adriatic.

Very windy at times going down hill was difficult.

Stopped to let Ian fix his bike seat and I made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Was a good stop

The Adriatic is still beautiful-area surfing and wind surfing.

Stopped at a village and rode around trying to find Roman ruins but could not fide them.

Started to rain a little harder and got really windy as we pulled into Piran 

Lovely man helped us check in.

Ate at a wonderful restaurant.
