As we drove closer to San Marino, we all started saying, "Did she REALLY say "the NATION" of San Marino?? And that's exactly what it was: It's full title is "The Republic of San Marino". John will do doubt tell you of its history. It's set high on a mountain, with the most glorious view and was yet another treasure chest waiting to be opened for us! It was our nicest hotel by far - VERY upmarket! - and it was exciting to follow the ...

... as each seat filled the novelty soon wore off. It became cramped and uncomfortable... both physically and socially. As soon as we got to Austria however, the stunning views of the huge, steaming mountain forests, and ice blue rivers took our minds off the traveling conditions. On several occasions we couldn't help but gasp and 'wow' at the surroundings (which I felt quite guilty for doing because there was a blind woman in our carriage).

Nevertheless, it is an understatement to ...

...so that is one way to paint it. Sounds lovely, doesn't it? Well it is!!

But this picture is also true...

I have wondered why on earth I knowingly and willfully came here!? Is this fun? Well heck no!!! It is hard work, I am in the middle of nowhere, it is filthy dirty – practically a junkyard! The conditions for the animals, in Italian standards are fair. However, I have a hard time stomaching it. The cows are kept in chains in a shed, the pigs in a ...

Hi All!

I hope you are all well, whereever you find yourselves! :)

To start with - I'll give you a snapshot of my setting as I write. Church bells are ringing in symphony throughout the village of Dozza in the background - just up the hill and few vineyards away. They chime every quarter - almost as a little reminder to pause, listen, feel, and remember where I am. There is a kitten sitting on my lap, purring, licking the salt off my ...

We got to Rimini later that night after Pompeii. It was another 6 hour drive so again we were exhausted. We checked into the hotel and it was perfect. Nicer than the last one we were at. We had booked in advance for the night and the rate was 30eros cheaper than the next night so we (I) thought we would just get there and tell them we wanted another night at the same price. Unfortunately they played me harder than I played them and said they had no availability ...

Tuesday 2nd June. We set off as the sun began to show through and leaving Mugello followed 5 massive trucks with the Moto Gp logo on them so they were off to the next racetrack site, like geeks we videoed this. We headed towards Tavulia and arrived at valentino Rossi's hometown md morning.The small town had 46 flags flying along the main road and we found the Rossi cafe where we had a coffee of which my cappuccino had 46 inscribed in the froth!!The cafe ...

Mi sono innamorata di Italia quando ero molto piccola e mio cugino, che studiava medicina a Siena, mi ha dato un album di litfiba. Come passavano gli anni ho preso diversi corsi d'italiano in una prova di imparare la lingua.
Quando avevo 15 anni i miei genitori hanno deciso che facciamo il giro di Italia. Firenze era la citta che ha rubato i miei impressioni.
Dopo molti anni, il 2007, ho preso la decisione di andare per un paio di mesi a Milano per ...

... I was in paper thin flip flops and I think I bruised the bottoms of my feet!!!!! We make it to the train station, only to realize that we were at the OLD train station which was no longer in use. It was about 9:05 by now. So we turn around and figure out where the real station is and run over there only to be faced witht he most difficult ticket machines known to man. Finally get the ticketsd, only torealize that the train hasnt even gotten there. We also figured out ...

I'm still at home, in Forlì (Italy) but my long waiting for my first RTW trip is nearly over. I feel more and more excited and I'm pretty sure that I should spend my time filling my backpack (since all the stuff I'll take with me is scattered across my flat and i'll need some time to locate it among my dirty clothes, useless papers and other ****) so i'd better leave. I'll give you more details later, from my first destination: Thailand.
