Italy Travel Blogs

Italy's stunning Mediterranean coastline and climate make it a popular destination to travel to. Rural towns offer a glimpse of traditional Italian life, whilst the bustling cities provide stunning architecture, world-famous landmarks and a vibrant nightlife. Structural remnants of the Roman Empire scatter the country and a visit to a traditional Baths is a must.

Italian cuisine is world famous, and the variety and freshness of Italian produce will make any mouth water - before the ingredients even reach the chef's pan. To work up an appetite, the Italian coast provides opportunities for sailing and water-sports, whilst the northern mountain regions offer excellent skiing destinations.

Italy with Kids - Taormina

Europe » Italy » Sicily » Taormina

29 Sept 2008 (these blogs being uploaded from Letojanni -have to do pics later) Another sunny day awaits us: breakfast was excellent. The residence provided fresh croissants, normal cornflakes, chocolate cornflakes, coffees, fruit juice and jams. I imagine the jam was for toast, but didn't see anyone having toast. We asked for bowls for the cornflakes (you can guess what flavour the boys chose), but apparently there were no bowls. The idea was to fill a plastic cup - like a glass - with the cornflakes, add milk, and eat with a spoon. The boys liked this as it meant [View Full Entry]

Europe » Italy » Piedmont

mmm...it's becoming cold here!!! definitly Italy's climate,expecially in the north, it's not the best.. Hopefully I've on my hand a ticket to Bangkok. The next months will bring me round southeast asia, where I can embrace again the spirit of the oriental people. I'm going to reach Malaysia with it's famous mixture of etnies and the far and legendary state of Singapore. [View Full Entry]

FALL IS IN THE AIR!

Europe » Italy » Lazio » Rome

At the Da Vinci museum... the last hot day we had.

Long time no blog...sorry. Life has gotten busy! The children have had two weeks of school and are adjusting very well. I continue working and enjoy it as well :) Odin and Lily turned 6 although their actual birthday party will be in October, we had a small celebration here on the actual day of their birthday. I turned 40 in Siena, Italy--pretty memorable city--so beautiful! Now I have to decide what my mid-life crisis will be !! Fall is here--cooler nights and crisp days---now the childrenbelieve that seasons DO exist! Planning some weekend trips to nearby towns as well. [View Full Entry]

Venice

Europe » Italy » Veneto » Venice

A grand building...
...on the grand canal

Even more jaded in Venice...tourists everywhere, damn them! It was hot and crowded, after making our way to Piazza San Marco we wandered back through the San Croce neighbourhood. We were rewarded, it seemed much more like the "real" Venice - friendly bakery (delicious lunch and espresso!!) no one understood English and the buildings were "delightfully shabby", just as our guidebook promised. It was good to finish the day on a high note. [View Full Entry]

Help exchange in Rogliano

Europe » Italy » Calabria » Cosenza

Undergound aqueduct
Featuring my fine left leg and arm

My first help-exchange and the first time I've been to Italy. I flew out from Stansted, arriving at Lamezia airport to meet Keith, my host and Hannah another helper. Any worries I had were unjustified - he was not a murderer, weirdo or sex-pest. Just a normal down-to-earth guy. We had about a 40min drive through stunning scenery to his house, located just outside the village of Rogliano. What a place - see photo above but I can't do it justice. Surrounded by rolling hills and a smattering of sleepy looking villages, it's like stepping back in time. Well, until you [View Full Entry]

Siena 26 Sept

Europe » Italy

pidgeons rule!

Siena Friday 26 September As of today Geoff is officially retired. Yep, you guessed it today is his 55th birthday. We didn't plan any special events today, just make our way to the old town, look around, shop and come back this afternoon and eat at a local pizzeria. The day started out well with a nice breakfast looking over the Siena countryside from our hotel dining room. The orange juice was a tad interesting, not quite as sweet as Fanta but somewhere along that spectrum. We had cereal and tinned fruit for the first time which made us feel very [View Full Entry]

Rome, La bella citta!

Europe » Italy » Lazio » Rome

My Room
Cozy

First things first, I apologize for not updating my blog in a LONG time, but I felt that I couldn’t really post more about Rome without pictures, and with my camera being broken, I waited for another one before going out and taking all the pictures over again. So, here goes… I’ll start from the beginning. We got in to Rome and I haven’t really relaxed since. This city is absolutely amazing. Greece was decent, but in comparison Rome trumps every city I have ever been to. The buildings, the people, and the culture are far beyond my wildest expectations, and [View Full Entry]
