Udine to Cividale del Friuli

on
Ponte del Diavolo - The Devils Bridge - Cividale del Friuli

What a wonderful evening in Udine. We went to Osteria al Vecchio Stallo, rustic local dishes, for dinner and met a wonderful family, 3 generations, at the table next to us. We had a great time conversing and laughing. This is Nora and Devon, they bonded right away.

Nora's gift of a rose to Devon.

A picture of the whole family. The woman next to me was a lot of fun. Sorry I can't remember her name, but she spoke good English with a proper accent. Great fun.

Another picture of just carrying on. 

A wonderful plate of Cjalsons Burro e Ricotta. A local stuffed pasta. Absolutely wonderful

Here is a split plate of Musetto Brovada. A sausage made out of a pigs nose. I love to experiment and eat odd local dishes so I had to try it. We didn't know what to expect, we had visions of nostrils on our plates. Instead it was a sausage but actually quite different. It was a very rich flavor with a gelatinous texture. It was quite good. I am glad we split it as I may have needed to use some nitroglycerin for my heart.


We are starting to really enjoy the Amaro after dinner. It's an herbal,bitter type of drink.


On the way home after dinner.

A beautiful little waterfall and cyclist scene.

If you play this video a number of times in a row it looks like an adult bird feeding a chick!!!! LOL!!!

Riding down the road.

Entering Cividale del Friuli


Packing the bags up to the 4th floor. The 5th floor in the US. In Italy and much of Europe the 1st floor is actually the 0 floor.

Our apartment, nice but a bit tired. 


You can tell we are the foothills of the Alps by the color of the water and the topography of the land.

Beautiful quaint streets. 
We are off to Gorizia in the morning.

      Thanks Peter, I am really happy your enjoying the blog. It has been a bit of work and I wonder how many people are actually following it. So your comment, and self identification, is well appreciated. But I am also doing this for Devon and I so we can remember what the hell we did on this trip.

    (Mike Shultz). What a wonderful ride you are having. The Devil’s Bridge I looks to be an Engineering marvel. Everything is quiet on GPR. Am enjoying following your trip.
