San Gimignano
6 kwietnia 2019, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ 🌧 16 °C
Morning edition- San Gimignano beautiful view from the roadside stop: vineyard, church, and friends. When we arrived we took a stroll to the center of this quaint village. World famous gelato was a great treat, pretty storefronts, excellent meats and cheeses-which we made into an indoor picnic. Czytaj więcej

Regional meal in Montecarlo (Italy)
5 kwietnia 2019, Włochy ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Another amazing experience, Regional dinner at a family estate: vineyard & olive grove.
After a walk to the vineyard and an explanation of the olive press, we headed into dinner: bread, meats and cheese, olives, barley soup, sauteed veggies, roasted potatoes, grilled chicken, ribs, and sausage... wines of course with biscotti to finish with. Such a terrific way to meet the locals and see their way of life. Trafalgar has many of these experiences on most of their itineraries. We even met a group that was on a Costsaver tour which included this meal. Something for everyone! Czytaj więcej

Pisa and Vinci
5 kwietnia 2019, Włochy ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
Rain has moved out and we are given blue skies for today's adventures: Pisa - yes, where the tower is still leaning, tho some angles not so much. Then down the Countryside to Vinci, birthplace of Leonardo. Very picturesque, full of history and nestled between olive groves. Nice stop for a snack and glass of wine. Tonight we have a regional meal at a local home. We'll see how they press olives into oil, grapes into wine and enjoy a traditional meal. Czytaj więcej

Cinque Terre
4 kwietnia 2019, Włochy ⋅ 🌧 13 °C
Pictures, postcards, stories cannot full explain the beauty of this area. The vineyards terraced on the hill side, the colorful homes and storefronts, the coastline and force of the Mediterranean..... it is an experience you must see in person! As part of this tour during warmer weather you will arrive in La Spezia and take a boat between the 5 (cinque) villages. We walked, and walked, and walked some more then took the train to the farthest village. Toured there and had a simple lunch and gelato. Took the train back to La Spezia where our motorcoach brought us safely to Hotel Columbia. Little wine shared with new friends and fun time at dinner. More adventures tomorrow so off to bed.
One thing I really like about this travel style is we are staying at the Hotel Columbia for 6 nights... there is so much to explore from here within an hour or so drive it's a great location. Czytaj więcej

That's how I felt. Never felt like the pictures (which were beautiful) did justice to the spectatulr experienc we had! I felt that way about the Vatican in particular.

If you're going to make me work for my lunch, then you better provide wine and Prosecco!

Fresh market and pasta making
3 kwietnia 2019, Włochy ⋅ 🌧 15 °C
Montecatini morning was cloudy, rained a bit on our way to the fresh market in Florence. Met Chef Libero and Rosa. We broke into groups of 5 or 6 and were given a list of a few items needed for our cooking lesson and lunch- in Italian.... they did give us Euros to purchase the items. Once we translated our list consisted of red onions, bunch of Rosemary and Sage. Mission accomplished. We the wandered through the market looking at all their fresh meats, cheeses, breads, and fruits. After enjoying bread and stuffed sun dried tomatoes we got back on the coach to Libero's restaurant & estate vineyard. Warmly welcomed with a glass of blue champagne! Yes, blue, hint of raspberries.
On to pasta making. Donned in apron and hairnet sous caps, we got to work making ravioli for our lunch. Also made a panzinela salad, zuppa and biscuits (what I would call biscotti).
Amazing wine tasting with starters of fried squash blossoms, crostini & fried polenta.
Rained while we ate and drank then the sky cleared and we had a beautiful drive back to the Hotel Columbia. Czytaj więcej

Last post for today... Tuscany
2 kwietnia 2019, Włochy ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Seemed like a long drive but now in Tuscany for 6 nights. Great hotel near the town square, explored enough to get a nice dinner and a few glasses of Prosecco. Once my phone and tablet sync I'll post food and wine pics. Czytaj więcej

From the Vatican to Tuscany
2 kwietnia 2019, Watykan ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
Early wake up and breakfast then off to do the Vatican museums, St. Peter's basilica and Colosseum. Definitely must do Vatican city with a skip the line pass, early admission too. Not very crowded when we got in, but long lines formed quickly. Amazing sculptures, tapestries, paintings and views. After lunch of Caprese salad, headed to the Colosseum then north. Czytaj więcej
