After we toured the farm, we were hungry. We thought, lets have pizza. Then we thought, lets go to Italy to get pizza. And since Italy was only 15 minutes away, we drove to Trieste, which sits right on the across the border in Italy from Slovenia. Historically, this strategic port town has been annexed and moved again and again, spending a couple of centuries under Habsburg rule. After World War II, the city was "sort of" divided with UN/Allied rule, and then eventually, in 1954, most of the city was transfered to Italy, with a couple less fortunate villages transfered to Yugoslavia to endure Communist rule for 35 years.
It was a very pleasant city, although admittedly the pizza ultimately wasn't that great (nor was the gelato). After lunch and a brief walk through the city, we called it a trip and drove back to Budapest.
