    During this year's stay in Trieste, I set myself the task of visiting some of the historic cafes in the city. (It was a tough job, but I was up to the challenge!) Trieste has a great cafe culture and there are certainly a lot more bars and cafes where people can get great coffee and food but I focussed on the historic cafes. Caffè degli Specchi was already a favourite simply because of its location, great people watching! I had to google the location of the others, only to find I had walked past Caffè Tommaseo and La Bomboniera many times over the years but had never gone inside. Cafe San Marco is a bit further out from the centre, it's more of a neighbourhood cafe, and it took a bit of walking and lots of checking google maps to find it!

    We love North Norfolk and enjoy visiting the coast here. We've been to events on the grounds of Sandringham but have never been in the house. Same with Holkham, we've had a drink in the pub and enjoyed the coastline they manage, but never visited the house. Wells Next The Sea is a big favourite with us though.

      I try and visit a different area of the UK when I visit, so Norfolk was new to me. I ended up really liking the area and want to return to explore more, like most people who live in Australia, I'm a real coastal dweller so nice beaches are a big plus! I did spend a lot of time complaining about the cost of parking, to park close to Holkham Beach was 10 pounds for the day!!!😲

  • @HereToCheers
    @HereToCheers หลายเดือนก่อน

    Good tip about the parking! Nothing like a brisk walk to start your royal tour. You can’t go wrong with a charming town as your base-Castle Acre sounds delightful! The fact that Sandringham’s rooms are modest yet elegant really highlights the charm of this royal residence. Listening to music in such a grand setting must have been an incredible experience.

    • @theresabigwideworld2632
      @theresabigwideworld2632 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It was more of a panicked run than a brisk walk!😅 No more trusting a GPS, the main carpark at Sandringham is near the entrance, the one the GPS sent us was the overlow carpark. The music in the Minister was a lovely surprise, it was a regular weekday concert.

    When I woke up on the train we were pulling into Lugano. A beautiful sunny morning in the winter. It was like I'd gone to heaven after the horrific four hours in the hell hole of the Milano train station the previous night.

    I had to google this place as I had not heard of it. I am not really one for lying on a beach but the old town looked pleasant enough. The long causeway from the direction of Aquileia also caught my eye as an interesting route to take. I am keen to get back to the area especially after seeing some of your videos as well as having watched the TV series "La Porta Rossa". Hope you have a great week.

      Grado is very small but worth seeing as a day trip included with visiting Aquileia, it's quite scenic going across the lagoon. Grado was originally established in Roman times as the first port for ships heading up to Aquileia. I've not heard of the TV series 'La Porta Rossa' so I'll try and see if I can find it.

      The ruins of the basilica were interesting as they were only discovered in 1905 where the area was dug up to make the square, that's Europe for you! Dig a bit and you'll find the ruins of something even older! Mass in the St Eufemia church was really lovely as a male choir sang most of it until the end when the whole congregation sang the song about the fishermen of the sea, it was very moving.

You choose which beach, what type you want, with or without umbrella and there's even the more expensive cabanas on offer. Some people really do take their beach vacations seriously, we had to go to the public beach and just take a claim with our beach towels! It's very much a family beach holiday location, lots of people in Trieste own appartments in Grado they use for the summer months.

There's a few different beach towns between Venice and Trieste, I'll eventually get around to visiting a few different ones.

      It was an impressive building, I've since read more about the Hall, after the distant cousin inherited he (in 1976) he found that the Hall was still heated by the fireplaces, there was no central heating and only a small percentage of the tenant farmhouses even had electricity! He had a lot of modernising to do, as impressive as the rooms were it was quite uncomfortable to live in them! Thanks for watching.

      This was one of the first videos I made when Australia was still locked down so only had a tiny bit of footage and photos from previous visits to the castle. One thing I didn't show in the video which I think is really interesting is the World War II bunker. The castle was occupied by the Germans and they brought in forced labourers to dig through the cliff to create a bunker to place heavy artillery to protect their naval base at Sistiana. I'm going to revisit the castle and get some decent footage and make another video at some stage. The castle and grounds are quite small but well worth visiting. You can either drive to Duino and park in the village or take a local bus from Trieste, the bus stops right at the castle gate. The area around Trieste is particularly interesting to me at least as it's very non-Italian it still has its Austrian and Slovene background and that makes an interesting contrast to the rest of Italy.

    Wonderful tour of Holkham Hall. Very beautiful historic building. Great views inside and outside. Amazing architecture and vintage decor. Amazing that some of the rooms are still used as guest bedrooms. Thanks for sharing. Great information and narration.

      It's nice that these stately homes are still being used and aren't just museums to a bygone era. Thanks for watching!

    Some of these places are so interesting. Holkham is one I have not visited but have passed so many times. Those North Norfolk beaches can be immense but also so wonderful to walk out on as long as you watch the tides.

      Until I read Anne Glenconner's book I had never heard of Holkham Hall, she made it sound very homey and normal. It was kind of surprising to see how opulent it was! Seeing how far out the water was at Holkham beach really brought the message to check the tide times, I could see how easily people could put themselves in danger.

    There are some wonderful videos of the horses and guards of the Household Cavalry and the Blues and Royals running and swimming on this beach during their break from London.

      The owner of the B&B where we stayed had horses and after I said that we went to the beach, she said in winter they take their horses there and they love it. It must be like a playground for them, so interesting the army uses it too. Thanks for watching!
