A dazed day in Elba.
Portoferraio, Elba Portoferraio greeted us with bright sunshine and a beautiful view of the local port. Behind this stands the Porta a Mare gate, which dates back to 1637 and is shadowed by rugged mountains. The ship docked right in the town and it was immediately accessible for exploration on foot. Elba was rich in iron that made it very attractive to the Etruscans and Romans for sword making and was a highly desired stronghold for mediterranean powers? Elba achieved fame though as ...

We haven't meet a Tuscan food that we haven't liked yet! Bona sera ...
Tuesday in Tuscany

We got our number while the men headed for the restaurante to have pastries. We had ...
