Van Gogh and gastronomical adventures
2024年9月10日, フランス ⋅ 🌬 22 °C
On Tuesday, we left Avignon and drove to the nearby town Arles, because there was a VoiceMap tour there, about Van Gogh who lived in Arles and painted many of his most famous paintings there, including the Starry Night 🌌 and the Sunflowers 🌻. Even though there are no apparent sites to see, the tour was very interesting, truly diving into the life of this tormented creative genius. We then went for lunch to a beautiful small restaurant with super cute courtyard and shared delicious eggplant dish and seared swordfish. We then drove about an hour to Aix-de-Provence where we would be staying overnight. Igor had to work but I went for a quick visit to a small but very rich art museum and capped the night with solo dinner a a small organic restaurant recommended by Frommers. It was a one man show - the owner is a chef and server. He used to work in top world restaurants but then decided to open this small place with 6 tables and tiny menu. It was divine!もっと詳しく

Aix-de-Provence and Marseille
2024年9月11日, フランス ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
We spent the night in Aix-de-Provence and in the morning did a VoiceMap tour of the center. Basically, there is one large super wide boulevard and on one side is the old medieval town and on the other side much more posh Renaissance palaces of the elite. We walked around and then drove to Marseille to spend the night before our early morning flight. There was sadly no VoiceMap of Marseille and I tried to attend a guided walking tour but it was cancelled so I resorted to just walking around the city with Frommers suggestions. The city, being a port, with a reputation for grit, reminded me of Napoli. I walked the medieval old town which is now a center of graffiti street art. I went to what on the map said Cathedral Mayor, and a major, utterly massive cathedral it was! I think it was from the 19th century and very lavishly decorated inside. There are a few interesting museums but they were already closed - Museum of Mediterranean civilizations and a complete replica of an underwater cave with some incredible cave art that was found not too long ago. Next time will definitely need to see! After walking around the port, I had a quick dinner and went to a local milonga. It was not the best, but quite friendly and I enjoyed dancing there!もっと詳しく

Amazing Slovenia Embrace Encuentro
2024年9月12日〜16日, スロベニア ⋅ 🌧 10 °C
There is a reason why we continue to return to Rogaška Slatina for a dose of magic. We love absolutely everything about it - it’s my happy place. The amazing combination of highly skilled and friendly dancers, wholesome delicious food and fairytale ballroom create a truly unique atmosphere, very blissful. We had three magical days there and I was really sad to be leaving. It was raining the whole time we were there and somehow we didn’t even notice that we didn’t step outside. 3.5 days, 7 milongas, 31 hours, 75 (estimated) tandas that I danced. Most that I ever danced in an encuentro. Very sore feet, but happy and full hearts! We have to return soon!もっと詳しく

Vatican
2024年9月17日, バチカン市 ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
On Monday we slept in late after the most incredible very late night last milonga of the encuentro. We then drove to Zagreb airport where igor worked in the lounge and we waited for our evening flight to Rome. We arrived late and very excited for the VoiceMap extravaganza in Rome. We started our adventure on Tuesday by going to Vatican museums where there was a four hour VoiceMap tour. We really enjoyed it, and it was much better than the own Vatican audioguide which we used when we last visited in 2022. We really liked the stories about the artists but most importantly enjoyed learning about the evolution of art history. We spent 4 marvelous hours, and then Igor had to leave to work and I stayed diving deeper into the optional sections of Rafael frescoes of the Papal apartments and the incomparable Sistine chapel. Vatican is truly the most incredible art museum of the early to Renaissance art.もっと詳しく

The heart of Rome and Jewish Ghetto
2024年9月18日, イタリア ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
Today we accomplished a lot of sightseeing! Even though there is an abundance of VoiceMap tours in Rome, most of them were of certain neighborhood or theme and we felt that we needed a general overview. We decided to trust Rick Steve’s and did his Heart of Rome tour, plus his inside tour of Pantheon. Once again, the tour confirmed what I remembered about Rome from 15 years ago - it’s a layer cake of slices of history, often overlapping and incorporated in the same buildings. I should mention that in general Rome was very crowded - we were able to snatch two last Vatican tickets for yesterday and all the other days were sold out. And all the touristy sites were packed. Trevi fountain was overrun by packs of selfie snapping and instagram positing tourists. We also went inside the Pantheon which we never visited before. The buildings dome was absolutely mind blowing especially for the fact that it’s for the first century AD!! The building was a temple to Roman gods, later converted to a church and now housing the remains of many famous people, including Rafael. After the tour, we felt sufficiently oriented and did a VoiceMap tour of the Jewish Ghetto. It was once again a reminder of a familiar theme of antisemitism and prosecution. We visited a grand synagogue of Rome from the 19th century which is stunningly beautiful. We then walked back home snapping pictures of seemingly random Roman ruins in the middle of the streetもっと詳しく

Tour of Trastevere before leaving Rome
2024年9月19日, イタリア ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Today, we woke up early and went on a VoiceMap tour of Trastevere - an area on the other side of Tiber river. It used to be a poor side of Rome, with many medieval buildings in bad state, but a couple of decades ago it started to become a hip local neighborhood with many shops and restaurants. We walked some beautiful streets with local butcher, cheese, wine, and bakery shops. We also stopped by at some churches. One was with stunning mosaics from the 11th century, and it had a sculpture of Saint Catherine. The story goes that Catherine was a devoted nun during Roman pagan times, propagating conversion to Christianity. Then she was captured and tortured by Roman soldiers and beheaded, but had to be beheaded several times and after her head was barely attached, she still lived for three days. Then some centuries later her body was found and this sculpture commemorates that. We learned a lot about various saints on this trip. It was great to wander a local non touristy neighborhood of Rome, and then we left to drive to the Adriatic side for our next encuentro.もっと詳しく

Assisi on the way to Tuscany
2024年9月20日, イタリア ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Well, a bit of change in plans! We arrived to the encuentro near Ancona and went to the first milonga. Let’s just say it was extremely uninspiring, bordering on unpleasant. The place was in a very rundown camp-like bungalows, with paper thin walls. The level of dancers was very mediocre and the real deal breaker was concrete cement floor, so very challenging to dance on. Considering that we were coming from Slovenia with the fairytale ballroom and magical dancers, the perspective of spending 3 more days with 6 milongas was out of the questions. Luckily, we were in the middle of Italy with the car. So we consulted VoiceMap and Rick Steves and decided to spend the long weekend in Tuscany instead. On the way, we stopped at Assisi because there was Rick Steves tour there. And it was really fascinating! Apparently Assisi is the hometown of St Francis, the saint who grew up in a rich family but at the age of 18, declined all the earthly possessions and became a hermit, preaching poverty, chastity and obedience. Franciscans even today are quite a big Christian denomination and after Saint Francis San Francisco was named! In Assisi there is a giant and gorgeous two level cathedral dedicated to him. Also St Francis preached being closer to nature, and often talked to the birds (as depicted in frescoes) - Igor promptly reminded me that he talked to birds too on one occasion in New Zealand! We really loved the tour and the city. We then drove to Siena where I had a nice dinner in one of the trattorias and marveled at the famous Siena square, lit by the full moon.もっと詳しく

Gorgeous Siena
2024年9月21日, イタリア ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Today we spent the whole day in Siena - a truly magnificent city, full of character, history and gorgeous art. We did Rick Steves tour of the city including its striking cathedral with the most amazing marble mosaics. The cathedral also hosts a medieval library with old theology books and the wall frescoes depicting the life of one of the Popes. But every corner of this city hold some special character and magic. One of my best memories was walking into a courtyard of one of the palaces, discovering a quiet coffee shop there and stopping to sip on a slow cappuccino, just chatting and soaking in the many centuries absorbed in the surrounding stone, colorful frescoes and airy marble water well in the middle of the courtyard. We absolutely loved Siena - it was fairly crowded with tourists but never overwhelmingly. Most importantly, unlike other medieval cities that have become just a collection of narrow winding streets filled with endless souvenir shops, Siena feels alive and breathing with the life of today. It has a university and there are many students whose presence is felt in hip small restaurants throughout the city. Siena is not a time capsule, it feels like the essence of change and evolution, where the old and the new are coexisting in harmony. In the evening we drive 15 minutes to a cultural center in the nearby countryside for a local milonga, with the Italian DJ that we knew from Slovenia. It was some lovely, if not exceptional, dancing.もっと詳しく

San Gimingano and Volterra
2024年9月22日, イタリア ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
Today, we actually found out where the crowds of the shoulder season in Tuscany were! In the morning we left beautiful Siena and drove 45 min to San Gimignano. As we approached the town , we were met with the Disneyland like lineup of the various parking lots that were all full and the attendants kept waving the cars somewhere in the distance. We tried some further away parking that supposedly had some buses shuttling from them, but we failed to see any aforementioned busses on the road. After driving back and forth for 20 mins and trying to find a spot in the hope that someone will leave, we realized that our only option was parking far away and walking for 30 mins under the open sun, along the car road. We decided that it was not worth it, and drove away, another 40 mins to Volterra. The parking situation there was much better and we were able to walk around and enjoy this medieval city. There was no VoiceMap so we felt a bit lost, but managed it, between lonely planet and Google. We had delicious lunch in a small cafe on a piazza and then wandered the streets - Volterra had many well preserved medieval building and even the ruins of a Roman amphitheater. Then, in the afternoon, around 5 pm we decided to try our luck at San Gimignano again, and what a difference few hours make! We were able to easily park in the most nearby parking lot and enjoy walking the streets without the hoards of day trippers. The city is famous for its many towers, and we admired many of them. It was great to sit in the steps of the main cathedral on ten main piazza without the crowds and enjoy the sunset. We then had delicious dinner and drove south to stay overnight on the way back to Rome.もっと詳しく

Viterbo
2024年9月22日, イタリア ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
Today was a transition day - we were flying home from Rome early tomorrow and decided to stay somewhere within under an hour from Rome airport, that is also a nice place so I could explore and enjoy the afternoon while Igor worked. Our plan was guided by the available VoiceMaps. We first stopped at Viterbo - a medieval town in the heart of the region of Umbria. It was very quiet and nice - a bit of a an alive time capsule, with medieval towers often converted into the apartment buildings. The town is famous for its summer annual religious procession where people carry what is called the Macchina di Santa Rosa through the town. The macchina was frequently mentioned in the VoiceMap tour and according to Google images it is indeed very impressive and enormous. It reminded us of the infamous Zozobra, except it doesn’t get burned. We also learned that Viterbo apparently was the filming location for many Italian movies, including some famous Fellini movies and some modern TV series like Catch 22. It makes sense because the town is so well preserved but also not touristy at all. We then drove an hour to the seaside town of Civitavecchia with another VoiceMap tour where we would stay overnight. Unfortunately it was a bit less picturesque than I imagined it’s a major port where many cruise ships and ferries depart from, so the VoiceMap tour was targeted towards the cruise ship passengers and it starts and end a near the cruise ship terminal. It’s a bit of a rundown town, so maybe not the best choice for the night, but it was convenient and interesting to see an everyday non touristy town. We were ready to fly home in the morning, after such an incredible, deeply satisfying and beautiful journey through time and places.もっと詳しく
