October 5th: Our B&B came with breakfast, which turned out to be coupons for a bakery two blocks away

Fontanella is an ancient town, going back at least to a fort built in the 5th century.

We chose to drive back roads through this part of Italy, which is rated very high for “quality of life”. We stopped for lunch at a random restaurant, but the food was excellent.

After lunch, we walked around the town square and got some gelato.

The weather cleared up to merely cloudy as we continued our long drive to Duino. But we arrived around 7 PM, and it was hard to find an open restaurant. We finally ate at Dama Bianca down by the water.
