Wednesday 21st June. Ocizla - Trieste (Italy) EPW day 20

Another early morning , waking to a very excited hostel. Last night it was only peace walkers staying there so the whole place is a buzz  with the prospect of our last walk and our last day.

As always the morning walk out of the village is up..

But wow, this is just really beautiful.

Very challenging, rocky downhill that took us all the way into Italy. A another non descript border.

Thankfully there is a cafe -aperto. Except it isn't open, not for a couple of hours!! No coffee!!!!

Embarked on a very steep uphill ( VERY steep) on a concrete road, that went on for over a kilometre. Then there is 12km pedestrian/bike path along an old railway path all the way to Trieste!

Lucky for the universe we were rewarded with fantastic views all the way, both of where we had been and of Trieste.

Made it to the Piazza del' Unità d'Italia which is our finish line!!!!'

Obligatory photo taken in front of the "Fontana dei Quattro Continenti"

We are also planning to return here tonight at 6pm to take a group photo of 2 girls in group 3, group 5, us in group 6 and also group 7. 

Well, home now and tucked up in a gorgeous bed, in a really wonderful apartment in downtown Trieste.

Everyone did show up for our photo, including the others in group 3 and also group 4 who were all still here. 

A wonderful moment for a bunch of strangers who had all been bought together in a huge challenge that we all completed on various days this week.

I will finish our blog now and enjoy our last day in Trieste tomorrow before starting the long journey back to Australia on Friday.

So looking forward to be home with our family now.......
