Paradiso 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 ...

... that the 10 or so cars when we arrived at 2am have swelled to hundreds, all waiting to get on the ferry. Given we're looking for quiet beaches away from crowds we decide to go somewhere where it may be quieter, and Mercedes suggests Elba as she had a quiet holiday there many years ago. So off we go to Elba, and we find there's hundreds of cars waiting for the ferry too, but our options are limited so we end up going over, hoping we can find accommodation, as it's still high season ...

... culture instead of talk about it, are forced to speak languages instead of barely using them and we are not stuck in classrooms all the time. It's a hundred times more interesting listening to long history lectures when I know that the next day I'll be inside a church that was built by one of the main figures in a story. I never wanted to leave Elba, but it wasn't too tough to go back to Firenze, and tomorrow I'm visiting Cinque Terre!

... 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...

... absolute aanrader (nog nooit zo'n dikke stadsmuur gezien). De bus naar de haven vanuit Pisa gaat om 22:10 en om 23:30. Die van 22:10 missen we twee keer op het nippertje. Met de trein proberen we hem nog net te halen door via een omweg te reizen, maar als net onze trein 10 minuten vertraging heeft, missen we de bus op twee minuten na. Dus maar in een barretje de Italiaanse Big Brother gekeken. Zonder ondertiteling prima te volgen. Vanuit Pisa 50 ...
