First trip to Italy. Was quite the trip. Ontario to SF on a tiny little plane. 11hr flight from SF to Munich. Middle seat of course. Got into a pretty epic arm rest war with the guy in the aisle seat. Wasn't about to give that up if I had to sit bitch for half a day. Took a taxi from the airport to the hotel, driver was nuts but incredibly efficient. Must be a retired F1 driver. Man can move in that minivan. The hotel is great, right off one of the piazzas off the water. Old building but newly renovated interior, glass stairs (Apple Store) and artwork all over like an art studio.
Thumbs up from The Boot (even though Trieste isn't in the boot at all)

Photo 2: guess what's in the bag? A baby! Cool design but not so sure about safety....
Photos 3&4: prop plane from Munich to Trieste. Tiny, loud. Not too bad but if you hate flying it would be really tough (Westcott)
