…….and a rest day!! we both needed it! And my calf still very sore…..so it turned out to be well-timed!!

Domestic morning…washing…and planning!….in particular Martin’s return to UK for his Dad’s funeral..on the 15th. So a hire car booked to take him to Trieste airport…and back….. to wherever I have got to!! (What a star he is…being here at all really!)

This now requires us to be in Croatia by then (to avoid monstrous one-way international charges!).

Otherwise…a day of exploring for Martin…and a rest for me, but I hobbled into town later. It was so surprisingly busy..mostly Italian..but surprisingly ’full’ given early May…despite no China travelling, few Us..etc…..as:

…but I just loved this sign! And before you read the English subtitles…do have think about what it is saying…as I did:

..do not litter on the saucer…do not sleep in fountains….do not lean against monuments…..god knows.…do not let your dog pee in the fountain?…..and no holding hands! (I thought it might be a covid sign…but no…it is not!)…classic!

Brighton just beat Manchester United 4-0…so Martin happy as a chappy! (..but a little sad that he had to decline a full corporate box for the event!)

Fingers crossed that the calf can manage the bike tomorrow! God knows what I have done!
