Residenza Di Campagna Poggio Del Sole Pescara

Six hour train from Venice to Pescara. Nice ride along coast but this is a beach town with not much open in October. In addition, when we questioned the hotel clerk about sightseeing he immediately replied that most of the town was bombed in World War II and not rebuilt. Only stayed one night on the way to Naples and the highlight was a great meal!

... for me) and to be honest, I could have done without the museum's as it was long, hot and frankly (for me, a little boring) especially seeing as there is SO MUCH ridiculous hype about the Sistine Chapel, and I was a little unimpressed, so I wasn't that distraught that I missed out on St Peter's Basilica. I don't see what the difference is between that and almost every other church that is fantasticly painted etc. But hey, that's just my opinion. So it also kind ...

... adequately interesting city. I can say that Pescara holds a certain familiarity for me, being a beach town. It has a main street for pedestrians, perpendicular to the coast that is reminiscent of Cavill Ave, Burleigh, or even Roma street in Brisbane. Anything familiar when you are travelling is a breath of fresh air. Pescara is the seaside town that Italians would come to to relax and eat at a restuarant right on the sand from the ...

... abundance of it. Figs, pears, tomatos, grapes, pomagranates....and oh do they taste good. So now we left and headed out to go to Rome. What was supposed to take four and a half hours ended up taking over 11 hours of traveling. Busses were late, trains were late, stops and other trains were missed...it was a looongg day. And we found that train people here in Italy are not very helpful at all....oh well, at least in our experience. But thatās ok, we ...

... aula :P) si am luat-o agale pe hol spre biblioteca - am ganduri mari cu bibliotecarii in ultimul timp. Si cum mergeam agale si un pic aiurita (si plictisita de la felul in care profesorul a vorbit) mi-am oprit privirea pentru o secunda si juma asupra unei fete; imi parea ca seamana cu o fata din Romania, care a fost acu un an bursiera in Italia. Tocmai cand m-am dumirit ca e o necunoscuta, tipa m-a salutat discret. Am mers mai departe, gandindu-ma ca o fi ...

E vineri si ne trebuia o iesire din oras. Imi trebuia o iesire, dar am ajuns sa nu plec singura, ci cu Egle. :) Plecarea a fost hotarata pentru 13.40, ca sa am timp sa merg si pe la cursul de Arte vizuale in contemporainetate - iar Egle avea de gand sa-si faca o baie. Pe undeva pe la 6 dimineata am auzit tunete, fulgere, geamul care se zbatea (am inteles de ce lumea ...

... Da ce repede v-ati decis! - ..!! - O sa fie copii? - Nu, nu e nici un copil. Avem toate in jur de douazeci. Imi cere numele (il dau pe ala de familie, il spun pe litere), ii spun si prenumele (ii spun ca e echivalentul la Giovanna si trece acolo Giovanna) si : - Va rog sa reveniti cu 2-3 zile inainte de 13 mai pentru o reconfirmare. Si in caz de ploiae sa stiti ca nu se va tine. Cum era faza aia...when in Rome, do like the romans?

... round, stone olive presses in the extensive garden. The Olearium dated back to the 1400s and the entry section had the original, brick-vaulted ceilings. In addition, there was a terraced garden with views of trees, the Vomano River and the Gran Sasso as the backdrop. In the garden was an old turret, which our hosts had put an outdoor table ...

In bucatarie, la o cana de ceai cu Eva. Ne uitam la televizor. Nu stiu cum ajungem sa vorbim iar despre vecin si despre umbrela. - Dar stii, Ioana, ce li s-a intamplat unor spanioloaice? Au plecat la Napoli cu masina propietarului si le-a fost furata! In prima seara! Masina nu era noua, dar acu trebuie sa plateasca fiecare 600 de euro. Iti dai seama? 600 de euro! - Pai in comparatie cu asta, cei 50 de euro ai mei sunt o nimica toata! Eva, habar n-ai ce veste buna mi-ai dat!
