Row, row, row your Batela… on the Venice Canals
Venice is a place of beauty, soul and magic. Every corner has the potential to leave you breathless, and so it did.
A Digestifs Digest: Exploring Italy’s Local Amari
Amaro is a class of Italian bitter liqueurs usually drunk as aperitifs or digestifs. Having been a fan of them for many years, so when we came to Italy I couldn’t resist searching out rare local and artisanal bottlings.
A Roman Holiday
We tour the iconic landmarks of Rome, then switch it up with a stay in Villa Borghese with Alexander Pushkin and the runaway trolley.
Barreling through the Birthplace of the Renaissance
Florence was our first stop on a whirlwind tour of central Italy where we abandoned any pretense of “slow travel” and went into hyper-tourist mode.
Check out our romp through this beautiful city, the beneficiary of the most generous gift in history.
An Ode to Sorrento, of Sorts
Italy’s Campania region is chock-full of evocative names — Sorrento, Amalfi coast, Vesuvius, Pompeii, Capri. Even when you can’t quite place the name, they have an exotic, intriguing ring. Thus, we decided to brave the crowds and spent five days exploring the Sorrento peninsula.
Bologna the Fat
Bologna the Red, they call it, the Learned, and of course, Bologna the Fat. In our two weeks we did come across some fantastic culinary experiences!
Bologna, Where Everybody Knows your Name
For our longest stay in Italy, we chose Bologna, a place renown for its food. It was a nice change of pace to have our own bread monger and cheese monger, and to be repeat customers in cute local shops. The relative lack of tourists give the city an air of calm and authenticity.
Three Days in the Venice Archipelago
Venice is a city like no other; its narrow streets offer a gateway into another world. Read on for a guide to spending three rich and memorable days there.
Goriška Brda & Trieste - the Travelog
Since we only rented cars for trips, we tried to maximize each one. In this case we drove to Brda after seeing the Postojna caves and Predjama castle (subject of a future post), and hit Trieste on the way out.
