TxTeach79's Pearl European Adventure LIVE - 6/24

[TxTeach79]

Ciao from Venezia! (The real one. Not the ship. That was a couple weeks ago)

If you want a cool idea for an easy dinner in Trieste, next to your hotel is a shopping center called Eataly.

 

https://www.eataly.net/it_it/negozi/trieste/ristoranti

 

It has all sorts of food/wine plus restaurants inside where you can grab a bite to eat.

I think she had it with me and moved up to the aisle seat in front of me. Can’t blame her really. 
 

[TxTeach79]

Biscuits and coffee were served. Short and comfy flight really. 
 

 

[TxTeach79]

Was able to track us on the AF site

[TxTeach79]

This one is a lot smaller…. Whew. 
 

 

[TxTeach79]

Moment of truth people. Now is the time!!

 

 

[TxTeach79]

 

[TxTeach79]

It feels so good, y’all

[TxTeach79]

[TxTeach79]

The walk of victory. Headed to meet our driver. 
 

[TxTeach79]

After a few minutes, we located our driver and his snazzy VW wagon

 

[Destaw71835]

Yay! You guys (and luggage) made it! 🙌

[TxTeach79]

Motoring toward Trieste while Pearl is in Ravenna… see her tomorrow. 
 

 

[TxTeach79]

It’s overcast here, which is really making the ol’ lids even heavier. No traffic so far, which our driver (who lives in Koper!) says is rare. The wins keep coming baby 

[TxTeach79]

Getting closer

OMG my brain can't handle early morning drama but I had to know what all happened while I was sleeping. 

That was insane what you went thru to catch your next flight! If this is the norm I'm never leaving the country on a plane 😱

Thank all the gods you have luggage, hallelujah. Hopefully you will be sleeping while I'm working so I don't miss anything😁

[TxTeach79]

Whoa. Just passed through Monfalcone, home of Fincantieri. There’s some cruise fun for ya. Didn’t even think of that.

[TxTeach79]

Ah, the sounds of the Italian countryside 

 

[TxTeach79]

Just passed the exit for Prosecco. Had no idea that’s an actual place where the drink came from. Sure enough….

[TxTeach79]

I sure am glad I’ve got the sleep package 

[erikb923]

Have some Grappa while your at it!

Prosecco Road is also a thing! My sister lives an hour north of Venice, Prosecco Road is literally a super hilly road up the mountain where all the vineyards are. There are trails you can hike and Prosecco and charcuterie vending machines along the way.
