Walks and Wankers

The biting cold has left Duino and has turned into a rainy grey, so in a tv-less apartment covered in tiles it can be hard to keep the gloom away. Duino, though has one feature that turns all that glum away: the Rilke path. Named after Rainer Maria Rilke, a Praguese poet of German origin who even wrote an ode to Duino, this path runs over the cliffs all the way to Sistianna. With plenty of places to sit sit down, it has beautiful vistas of the azure Adriatic. On hazy days, like today, you can look towards the horizon and not know where the sea ends and the sky begins. However, before this really turns into a tourist trap description, never fear Italians wankers are also here (and I mean wanker in the literal sense of the word!) I guess beautiful views really are stumulating ;-)
