Did you read the first part: Tuscany villages – the Starter and Primo Piatto? If not, you can find it here. I would not have earned a living from tips from this Italian feast. Especially, as the main meal and the dessert arrived a tad too late – “merely” a two month delay. On a bright side though, you must …
Did my tabloid style title attract your attention? An important note – this article is not sponsored or written for any profit. Bear in mind however, that it may be filled with my own opinions and biases, intertwined with the actual facts. Bottom line: read with caution and use your common sense! I have flown with Ryanair more than 100 …
Let me prepare you a special Italian dinner. As with all evenings meals out in Italy, there is a starter (antipasto), first plate (primo piatto), second or main dish (secondo piatto) and the dessert (dolce). It is a lot of food, and we cannot “eat” it all at once, so let’s spilt it into two: the starter + primo, and …
So far, in this blog, I have written about places, which I know very well, with most of them visited at least a few times. This post deviates from this pattern, because we only visited Perugia once. Writing about this undiscovered town has awakened my “hunger” to revisit and explore it further. I hope I will be able to pass …
We visit Bologna at least once, every two months. It is a truly unique place for us. We would love to live in Bologna for a while, and we will, sooner than we think! As “small town” or “country” people, there are very few “real” towns, we mark as “liveable”. Bologna is an exception. I could probably write a small …
I owe you an explanation. Unless you are Italian or spent some time in Italy, you probably never heard of “I tre giorni della merla”. It translates to “three days of the Blackbird” which does not mean much on its own. There is an interesting legend behind this title. I will not share the full version(s) here (yes, more than …
This is a part two of the post “The ultimate place for a Total Reset”, make sure you read part one which can be found here. So, you came back for more reasons to visit the Alps in the summer? As promised, I have a few additional incentives to share with you. My goal is to weaken your excuses not …
It is the time of the year when the Winter Olympics is all you can hear. Alpine skiing, bobsleigh, figure skating, ski jumping, and many more. The setting of many of these sports is normally somewhere suitably cold, and ideally in the mountain area. This has brought back my memories about our adventure in the mountains, specifically the Alps. We …
When I saw this bridge for the first time, it instantly struck me how similar it was to another well-known bridge, on the other side of the Atlantic. Elsewhere, Lisbon is hilly in places; there are fancy trams and the sun is scorching – altogether a perfect recipe for a “European San Francisco” adventure. It’s no secret that Lisbon is …
If I were to write about our least planned and most adventurous adventure ever, it would have to be this one! Believe it or not, we weren’t even planning to go for a holiday at all. As it happened, not only did we go on holiday, but while we were there, we changed our minds, left our car, and flew …
