For a week we've cruised from port to port around the Mediterranean. We've rocked and rolled across the seas. We've walked our legs around new places with new sights to see. We've enjoyed LOTS of different food and the odd cocktail. Monday 13 February ... Read more >

Our final port of call before our cruise finished was on the north western coast of Italy, near the Italian Riviera. Genoa is Italy's largest and busiest port and sits in the shadow of snowy mountain peaks. And, on this day, might I suggest the wind ... Read more >

Wow! Our last full day in Roma. As we headed toward the Vaticano we were among huge crowds. Discovered that at 12 the Pope would be offering his Sunday blessing. We stayed for a short while but, sadly, couldn't understand a word he said. Our original ... Read more >

Friday: We knew we would be having (for us) a late night, so we had a very slow morning, cooked ourselves some eggs for brekky to have with some of the bread & cheese we had left in the fridge.
Out of our apartment and we made our way to ... Read more >

Another day in Roma.
A gentle 20 minute walk took us close to the hop on/off bus stop. In a side street nearby we were able to grab a quick bite. Chris was pretty happy to have found somewhere that advertised an "English Breakfast", so in we went.... Read more >

After another slow start we found a pasticceria not far from our apartment for a delicious brekky and a good coffee. It was a good place to sit for a while and watch the world go by. We continued through the streets and across the Tiber to find ourselves ... Read more >

We determined our last couple of days in Florence would be taken at a much slower pace. We've still walked and walked but with no real agenda.
Saturday we took advantage of the hop on hop off bus ticket we'd bought a few days prior, mainly with the ... Read more >

Our second big day out of Florence started even earlier than day one. A smaller group for this excursion, and even a couple of people that we toured with to San Gimignano etc. Quite a drive through the city, passing by towns and through some less populated ... Read more >

For our first big day out of Florence we joined a tour first to San Gimignano, an Italian medieval village, virtually unchanged through the ages. It sits atop a hill, and still has 14 of its original towers. These towers were built by local families, ... Read more >

Our trip from Riomaggiore to Florence was uneventful. Our train moved away from the coast at a good pace for a regional train (about 145km top speed). The coastal plains receded and we made our way into and through the Tuscan landscape. Being a regional ... Read more >
