sightseeing & dinner

Although it would have been possible to fly in Lijac, we didn't go up to launch as the pilots we saw in the air had a very low groundspeed. We estimated wind out of the east with at least 25kmh.
In Redipuglia (close to Marco's place) is a monument of WW1 (the so called 'grande guerra') - a bit similar to the one on Mte.Grappa. Marco claimes it to be the largest militray cemetary of WW1. Here are buried 100'000 soldiers: 70'000 named and 30'000 unnamed...

Seeing this really makes you think and wonder if mankind really made any progress over time.

For a more relaxed note we next drove to 'Grado' on the Adriatic coast for a walk along the shoreline and some 'gelato'.

For dinner we later met Arduino and Carlo at the Ostarie dal Palut in Tricesimo (just north of Udine), a beautifully restored barn from the 17th century with equally good food and wines.
