 So we have the pleasure of having with us one of the directors of the hands-on schools, Maria Liz Crespo. So in addition to what she's going to do is tell us about how to have fun this weekend. She is largely responsible for getting everything put together up at the M Lab for the hands-on sessions, putting all the bits and pieces of chemicals and equipment and everything. So she's played a huge role in making the hands-on schools go really smoothly. So I would ask that we give her a nice round of applause. So and I'm going to go ahead and then now turn it over to Maria Liz to tell us about what we can do around here over the weekend. Good. Okay, so we just need to switch you over. Ah, okay, yes, sorry, sorry, I should do it. Okay, so as Mike said, my name is Maria Liz Crespo. I am a research officer at the Multidisciplinary Laboratory, the place where you made the hands-on part of this activity. And it's a big pleasure to me to collaborate with these fantastic director and lecturers of this activity. I am the local organizer of this activity, more than the director, I would say. And I live in, I am not Italian. I am from Argentina. I came here to make my PD and then I'm working here since 1998. So I live in Italy from that time. So perhaps I know more or less the, well, I would say the area. It is yet to give you some advice about what you can do during this weekend, no? I am very, very important thing is, of course, to visit the city, to visit Trieste. I took from the info point maps, maps with information about the city, about the main place or the place more interesting to visit. So if it is not, the quantity is not enough for every of you. So I would like to ask you to please share the maps. In the map, there is also information in English about every of the place you can visit. There is this small map, but there is a second one that have also information about different possibilities in Trieste and around Trieste. I put in this slide just to give you an example, the Piazza Unità d'Italia. I don't know if you already visit the Piazza Unità square. It is the main square in the center of the city and it is the Europe largest square overlooking the sea. It is very, very nice square and it is interesting. It is nice to see the square during the day and also during the night. Very nice life. It is a very, very interesting place to visit, the center of the city. There is also the Canal Grande, the name is Channel. It is very, very close to the square. If you want to see it, you can see following the indications on the map. But if you would like, for example, to have a guide visit, you can go, it is written in the slide. At 10.30, you can go to the info point that is situated on the corner of Piazza Unità square. It is easy to get there. The price of a guide visit around the city is now €9. You can go there tomorrow or after tomorrow at 10.30. Otherwise, you can arrange yourself with information you have in the map. Maybe it is enough. One of the more appreciated places of this area is the castle and park of Miramare. Maybe you know that we are very close to the park of Miramare. If you go from here on the left, you will find the entrance of the park. It is a fantastic park and the entrance of the park is free. There is no course. You can just go there and see around and see also the castle from outside. There is a fantastic panoramic view. From the entrance of the park to arrive by walking to the castle, you will take 15-20 minutes. It is very easy to arrive also to the castle. At that point, you want to visit the castle with all the very interesting history related to this castle. You can go from 8am to 7pm and the price is about €8 to visit the castle. I have also some leaflets about the here. You can take later about the Miramare castle. You have specific information, but more or less it is this important thing. The time is from 8am to 7pm and the price is around €8. There are also special prices for students that depend of the age. In this period, yes. In this period, it is open every day. There is another very interesting castle that is very near to the center of the city. The name is San Giusto Castle. The castle has also a cathedral. To enter to the church, it is free. It is not cost to enter to the church. It is indicated very clearly in the map. You can arrive by walking without any problem. Otherwise, there is a bus from Piazza Unita, from Piazza Unita Square. That is the bus number 24. For 20 minutes to the castle, the opening hours and summaries from 8am to 7pm and the price here also is €8. Then another very interesting place to visit is also a cave. A very interesting cave that is located 10 kilometers away from the city of Trieste. There is a bus from Piazza Overland or you can take also the bus from the railway station. It is the bus number 42. The opening hours of the cave are from 10am to 6pm and the price is €12. This is a guide visit. It is very, very interesting. The duration of the visit is one hour, one hour and a half, but it is a very, very nice place. You have here also leaflets with this precise information about the cave. You can take it. This is some of the examples related with the Trieste city, but you will see that there are other very interesting places in the city. Practically every place in Italy has a historical place and there are res from the Roman Empire. There are other places that you can visit without any cost around the center of the city. Then from here, mainly with this temperature, it is very interesting to visit the Adriatic coast by boat. There is here also you have here a map of the Gulf of Trieste, Gulf of the Trieste. We are here in, as you can see, it is also there. We are in Grignano. We are in Grignano, but between Grignano and Trieste you have Barcola. The name is Barcola and it is a nice place to go there for swimming, for example. The sea is like a swimming pool. It is very easy to arrive and you can arrive by boat from here, from Grignano, leaving from here. Normally the ferry departs from Trieste and Sistiana, making intermediate stops in Barcola and Grignano is the place where we are. The tickets are sold directly aboard the boat and I put some examples about the coast. For example, from Grignano, from here to Trieste is Euro 4.25 and then you can go to the opposite place. That is very nice also. The name is Sistiana and there is also a boat to arrive from here to Sistiana, the opposite direction, comparing with Trieste and the price is 2.55 Euro, one way. Here I took the timetable here. You have several possibilities several times. You can departure, for example, from Grignano at 8.45, 11.45, 15.15, 18.15 and you have also the time to come back. You have the schedule here, you can take this and also you have here the prices to go to every point of these four very nice places. I told you that from here to Trieste you can stop in Barcola. That was a very nice place to swim and also go to other restaurants and bars and other very nice things to visit. But if you go to the opposite place, you go to Sistiana, Sistiana Bay. In case you prefer, for example, find Gravel Beach. There is a very nice bay, 230 meters. You can take the sun there and swim in. There is a very nice place also from Sistiana. You can go by walking that is called Porto Piccolo. So it's an advice to go there. You go to Sistiana and then you can also, there is a very nice path. The name is Centiero Rilque. It's about 2 kilometers. You can go by walking from Sistiana to another place that is called Duino. The panoramic view is fantastic. You can walk in the middle of the nature. So it's a very nice place to go. If you go from Sistiana to Duino through the Rilque path, so Centiero Rilque. It's the name in Italian. You arrive to Duino and in Duino there is another castle, a very nice castle that is the castle of Duino. You can visit the castle. There is a picture there. You can visit the castle from 9.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. and the price is about Euro 10, because you can visit also the museums and the parts of the castle you would like to visit. In case that you don't want to go or you cannot go by boat, you can also arrive there by bus. You can take from Grignano, from here. There is a bus stop here, you know. In Grignano, that is the bus number 21, all from Stradacostiera. From ICTP, the Stradacostiera, you have to go up. There is a bus. The company is APT Gorizia. It is the bus number 51. That is the bus that goes also to the 3A port. You can take that also to go directly to Sistiana. You don't want to go by boat. Then, you know, the goal of Sistiana, you can arrive from Grignano, you can arrive to Sistiana and then also to Duino. If you continue, you arrive to Montfalcone. Montfalcone is the city that you arrive to the international airport of Trieste. You see this city called Montfalcone, because the international airport is there. It is very, very close to Montfalcone city. And then, if you continue, you arrive to a fantastic small town, very nice small town. Also, if you prefer the fine sanded beaches, because here we have all the possibilities. So, we have also in this area, we have also fine sanded beaches. It is a very, very nice place, Grado. I have here also for you, we have here the map of Grado, so you can take it. We have also here some leaflets of the castle of Duino, so then all this information is also here. So, to arrive to Grado, you can do that also by boat, directly from here, from Trieste. In this case, from Trieste, not from Grignano, so you want to go directly to Grado, you have to go to Trieste and take the boat from Trieste. Trieste, the name is it is very close to Piaz Unita, Piaz Unita Escuelo. The name of the Molo is Molo Bersalieri. In Grado, the name is Molo Torpediniere. To go and come back, the price is around 10 euro. I have here also for you the time schedule and the cost, but the cost is that, so the time schedule. There are three possibilities. You can go, you can live in the morning, you can live during the midday or in the afternoon and the same to come back. But if you don't want to go by bus also, there is also the, you can use also the same bus that you will take to go to the international airport, that is the APT Gorizia 51 bus that you can take in the Stela Costiera, but there is also in this period of summer also the normal bus that is the bus number 21. If you go to Grado, a very, very nice place also to be, it's very close to Grado, but that is not in the sea, but the name is Aquileia. It's an old small town founded in 181 BC. It's a very face-moved, from an archaeological site, the Clare of Nesco Patrimonio. And in this case it's better to go first. The more you see, the easiest way is to go first to Grado and from Grado to Aquileia. It's very, very close, very near to the distance. It's short, it's really short. And there are APT, always APT lines, buses line 22 and lines 26. The picture, one of the picture on the left of the picture of the Reich shows some of the Roman rest. And on the left I put that picture because this is the picture of church, very face-moved, very nice, beautiful Byzantine church that is in Grado. So if you go to Grado, please don't forget to visit this church and the entrance to the church is free. It's very, very nice, very, very nice church. But then this is more or less the thing that we have around, but if you have the possibility to go to Venice, I imagine that you all know Venice. It's a very romantic city with channels, a very particular city. And the best way to arrive to Venice is by train. I can tell you, you need how to acquire the ticket, but you have to take the ticket, how to go by bus, by the bus number six to the Trieste railway station and take the ticket from Trieste Centrale, it's the name, to Venezia Santa Lucia. And you arrive directly to the tourist, the Venice, because there is also Venetia Maestre, some of you maybe you arrive, there is an international airport also to Venetia Maestre, but the place to visit is Venetia Santa Lucia. So you can take the ticket, the price, you need to arrive by train around two hours, and the price to go and come back is 25, more or less, maybe a little bit less, around 25, but it's fantastic when you come visit and stay there all the day. It's a very nice place and I recommend to go there. And this is about the site, I put also on the slide, the site of the Tren Italia. Tren Italia is the site that I recommend to go, if you want to visit any city of Italy, any city of Italy would have several possibilities, has a good price, so this is the site you should visit. And then to finish the idea, also by boat you can visit the coast of Croatia, and very, very nice towns around the coast of Croatia, and then maybe consider it in one day, you can also go by train to Padova, Verona, the city very nice, very nice city close to from here, and maybe if you want to go to Florence, for example, it's better to maybe take the whole weekend. And that's all, this is my honest idea. Thank you. Sorry, my English is not the best.
