Hotel Massimo Portoferraio

... we got a few hours of sun before more thunderstorms came. The next morning it POURED with rain..so heavy it wasnt funny. It stopped it the afternoon and we drove round the island. Everything was being whipped by the wind and the gorgeous turquoise beaches you see on the postcards were being churned up... great. Next day was lovely and we got to go the beach, but had to contend with ...

Non ero mai stato all'Isola d'Elba.
Di solito sceglievo altre mete del Mediterraneo (Grecia, Tunisia, Marocco, Spagna, Sicilia, Sardegna, ecc.) perchè pensavo fosse poco "calda" e poco "mediterranea".
Invece è stata una bellissima sorpresa.

Se devo dare un voto alle spieaggie che ho visto:
Biadola 10, Cavoli 10, Procchio 9, Lacona 7

Avant de travailler sur le périple oenologique sur lequel nous ne pourrons faire l'impasse cette année, Voici un rappel de notre balade du 5 mai 2008 jusqu'à Massa Maritima en passant par Sticciano, Roccastrada, Sassofortino, Rocatederighi, Tatti et Bellavista

Wednesday 10 December Between Corsica and Elba N 42° 58.5' E 10° 01.6' Off Tellaro N 43° 59.2' E 09° 51.3' A dull grey day to start, but not cold (16°C) so I walked, with my waterproof jacket handy but unneeded. Shortly after that, we passed the island of Montecristo to port, so I gave the 3rd officer a synopsis of the ...

Hello! We just got back from the beautiful island of Elba and I just wanted to let everyone that I am dropping out of Gonzaga and will be residing there permanently. Okay, maybe not quite yet, but it was sooo gorgeous and the weather could not have been much better. It was sunny everyday we were there and the water was the perfect temperature. We left early Friday morning from Florence and got into ...

To recap on my last post it was a crazy thing to do but we decided to spend the other week of our holiday in a warm climate. The initial choice is Corsica and we tear down Scotland and England, catch the ferry at night, stop at Reims one night at around 3am, then drive right across France and eventually come through a tunnel in the Alps into Italy and keep going until we reach a town called Savona, from which ferries sail to Corsica. The funny thing is that several months ago (with no ...

A weekend in Italy's Beach Paradise La Isola D'Elba is Italy's Hawaii, I'm sure. We sailed in on a bumpy ferry ride to an island filled with layer upon layer of pastel buildings, frosted with red clay tile roofs. Behind them dark tree covered mountains rose up gracefully, all in the middle of azure, sparkling waters. Around my hotel there were cacti, exotically vivid flowers, and pineapple-shaped palm trees. I swam in the Mediterranean Sea and ...

... we took our backpacks with since we are going to stay in Florence tonight. the bus ride went much quicker than to Rome, but it was a morning of thunderstorms. By the time we arrived in Florence it was nice and sunny. our guide took us to several historical places of interest and gave us much history and back ground. at 3 o'clock several of us went with the guide to ...

Great Island! It belongs to the Tuscany region and is next to Livorno where you can take a ferry to arrive. We travelled around the island with our teacher and classmates and visited some geological interesting points. We will probably come back... but this remains a mystery...

... to us about what goes on amongst the crew on a cruise ship. He also talked about life in Thailand and what it feels like to have to leave his family and work out of country. He asked us where we wanted to be in 5 years, and told us he wanted to be in Thailand running a little shop, making just enough to take care of himself and his family. No more or less, just enough to be satisfied After eating we used the toilet in ...
