As the traffic had been horrendous yesterday we decided to hit the autostrada and pay the tolls to save our sanity and hightail it to our next destination. 130kms and 10 Euro later we arrived in Santa Margherita Ligure, which is just up the road from Portofino. <br><br>This place is a bit larger than we are used to and Italian towns all have small car parks and narrow ...

... distance from the train station. Sadie and I take turns exploring the area, it is so cool that the ocean is so near. This seems like a great town to spend time in. The time comes to get on our connecting train then the bad news comes that we have gotten off at the wrong stop. Little did we know that there are two stops in Genoa. We miss our connecting train by 20 minutes and now come to find out are stuck in this town for the next 3 hours. The horrible ...

... the 11C and there aren't any Roman ruins because the Genovans needed to build somewhere so they just built on top of the old stuff! Anyways it is built on a hill and the modern part is at the top and to get there you travel over little tiny streets and even smaller alley like paths where the buildings appear to almost meet at their tops. We also saw the 16th C palaces nearing the ...

Destination 404<br><br>km197'196<br><br>A wonderful winding route via a inland section have lead me from Pisa to the coastline around Genova. But since in that part of the environment it was very hard to find a spot for bushcamping I took the toll freeway to prevent to get stuck in the chaotic traffic of Genova and headed north into the highlands of the northern region of Genova. A beatiful spot at the top of a mountain has provided perfect views to sunset and sunrise, but a bloody cold night!

... questo blog e penso già alla sensazione che proverò quando scendendo dll'aereo sentirò una ventata di aria calda (e umida a quanto si dice) a darmi il benvenuto.<br>Mi piace questa idea di avere un diario di viaggio da condividere con gli amici<br>Mi hanno mandato a vedere questi 5 video di Antony ...

... hesitation. You must pick a gap in between the trucks and/or traffic in the slow lane to weave in with. This is not that difficult, as I have said the truck traffic in this lane is moving around 50mph. <br><br>Stepping Out: As we all have heard you must be cautious when you step out into the fast lane. Most of the time this is not a problem. But here&#8217;s the catch. The cruise speed of the fast lane is between 95 &#8211; 105 mph. At this ...

... I can't wait... If I ever feel better Remind me to spend some good time with you You can give me your number When it's all over I'll let you know If I ever feel better Remind me to spend some good time with you You can give me your number When it's all over I'll let you know It's like somebody took my place I ain't even playing my own game The rules have changed well I didn't know There are things in my life I can't ...

... large old ornate buildings and a central fountain which dominated it. Seeing the opera house the mayors residency and financial trade building. We then headed up to see Columbus's house, very unremarkable and no information in sight, we took a photo and headed off for millionaires row, a street where the wealthy entertained dignitaries for over 600 years. The red palace and old buildings joined by a narrow cobbled street had all the promise we were looking for. Walking down there ...

Using Florence as a home base, I have taken a few trips to see more of what Italy has to offer. I had intended to see Rome for a few days and wanted also to see the villages nestled on the sea called Cinque Terre, which means the Five Lands. My trip to Rome came from the easy going and fly by the seat of your pants freedom and spontanaeity that the travel world and mindset brings. It started off with wandering around the city with my Aussie friend Will and trying to get him ...

... his sense of direction, has all helped tremendously. I find myself leaving a lot of it up to him - focus on each others strengths right? ;) And we have been having a lot of fun together - traveling with someone can be very stressful, but we have had nothing but fun. I think a lot of it is our similarities, as well as letting one person be the "leader" vs both fighting to control things. We are both very laid back about how things turn out and ...
