Grappa
2 weeks ago we visited to Bassano del Grappa, which is a beautiful city in northern Italy, where they make Grappa. It is a small town and they have a grappa museum. It was good to see, because I did not know how grappa is made. In earlier days it was the poor man's drink, because it is made from grape pomace, meaning the skins and seeds. Basically the leftovers of the winemaking process. This pomace ...
Ogni Santi

The Rocca, surrounded by a moat, was the port traffic controller and now ...
Otzi the Iceman
... we had our worst experience yet with dinner. Ordered a pizza, salami something. Went all the way back to our hotel, opened up the box...and it was anchovies. We tried to eat it, but it fishy beyond fishy! Threw it in the bin and went out a second time to get kebabs. Much better option! Tip for life: always check the goods before leaving the store.
