Adriatic Sea

 Trieste, Italy
We checked into a beautiful hotel and took a short orientation walk around the hotel that is right on the Adriatic Sea. The restaurants don't open until 7pm!!! So we had to have some famous Italian gelato (better than our ice cream) to hold us over until dinner!!! And of course, it did the job!!!

Postojna Cave 4

 The caves have the typical stalagmites, stalactites, and formations called curtains or draperies that look like folded curtains. The pictures will show you what we saw without too much of an explanation.

The bus then took us on down the road, more south and west to Trieste, Italy; right across the border from Slovenia.

Postojna Cave 4

 The cave houses the world's only underground post office.

The caves are also home to the endemic olm or proteus, the largest troglodytic amphibian in the world. In English, it is an aquatic salamander; the only cave-dwelling species found in Europe. It eats, sleeps, and breeds under water. It is also called the "human fish" because of its fleshy skin color. It is 8 to 12 inches long.
