We arrived in Milan around 7:30pm on Monday evening and met Violetta, our host, at the end of the platform. Immediately we loved her. She was sweet, funny, gracious, and bore a slight resemblance to Tina Fey. It was about a 20 minute walk to her flat ... Read more >

Our train to Venice was terrible. The worst of the entire trip. Even though we were required to make reservations, and thus had assigned seats, the train was overbooked and crowded. Our seat numbers didn't even exist! There were people sitting and laying ... Read more >

The dinner at Josie's (the British ex-pat) on Friday night was wonderful. She played hostess incredibly well - snacks and beer when we arrived, homemade elderflower soda, homemade salami, Slovenian wine with basque chicken, salad, a cheese course with ... Read more >

It's really enjoyable to wake up sweaty and sticky in the morning; gives a great start to the day! It's been more than hot here. Yesterday it was 103 in the house. When we went to bed last night it was 86 inside, with no fans, no air circulation. In ... Read more >

7-12 Despite the lack of running water and air conditioning we are both really happy at Nathalie and John's. The past few days we have been working on a stone wall that is roughly a century old. We tear out the old mortar, clean around the stones, ... Read more >

Only one month left of our travels. Yesterday we relaxed quite a bit. We slept late and lazed around a little. We went into the centre and did a little gift shopping and then returned to our apartment for a spaghetti lunch. After a little more lazing, ... Read more >

Yesterday we took a day trip to Pula and Rovinj (pronounced Roveen). It was about a two hour ride to Pula which is the southern-most city in Istria and one of great historical importance. Pula's location at the end of the Istrian peninsula made it geographically ... Read more >
