Left my home in King, NC Thursday for Falls Lake State park, one last of camping before heading to Rome via London. Flight due to depart at 815pm. Stopped for a beer, hoping to get a good flight sleep on the over.Leggi altro

Ciao da Roma!
3 novembre 2018, Italia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
No time at the Heathrow airport to see or do much. We arrived in at Terminal 2 then took the shuttle to Terminal 5. Good bit of walking, but it felt good after a 7+ hours. Nope, didn't sleep much.
Flights were great, all on time. On our 2 hour flight to Rome, I dozed a little but then we hit turbulence passing the Swiss Alps , beautiful view (I'll post those pictures later).
On our approach into Rome I think I saw Vineyards, the the cruiseport which has a Princess and if you look really close, upper left is Disney.
After clearing customs which took 5 minutes tops... scouted around for my driver from Avanti- there were at least 25 people with signs, wish I had my phone/camera out for that. Drive into Rome and Vatican city was wild but here at Hotel del Mellini for a few nights.
Showered, unpacked and resting with my feet up until happy hour when I meet the rest of the group.Leggi altro

4 novembre 2018, Italia ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Where do I start. After a busy walking day, 30 minutes of rest and off again, this time to Tiberina Island for our pasta cooking class and dinner with wine of course! When in Rome!
We had a tour, then got put to work... cutting vegetables, drinking wine, making pasta, drinking wine, sampling our ravioli stuffing of zucchini more wine then time to eat.
Sleep now for tomorrow morning we head south to Naples. But first I want to add some pictures but took so many where do I start...Leggi altro

Rome to Naples
5 novembre 2018, Italia ⋅ 🌧 14 °C
Checked out after early breakfast and on our way to Naples we stopped at the Pope's summer place Castelgandolfo. Another rainy morning forced us into a cafe cutting our tour short... rain stopped so we tried again only to get 1/2 block and the skies opened again. Quick trip through a few shops and back on our van, continue the journey south. Lunch today is at Marco Carpeneti winery and vineyard. Through the clouds we took in their view. Then onto the tour. Roberta was very informative and explained the history of this family run winery.
Next the tasting:
Small plates (so they said) were lining the table: fresh bread with their own olive oil, vegetable soup, olives, cheese, bacon and prosciutto, baked pumpkin with rosemary and most important the wines. Wonderful! Only bought 1 bottle of their brut, 14 Euros. May not make it home.
Back on the road heading for our hotel in Naples for the next couple of nights.Leggi altro

If you have ever driven in NYC, that is nothing compared to rush hour traffic in Naples. These people are crazy. But our driver was excellent, got us safely to the Grand Hotel Oriente. Checked in, quick shower, then hotel tour and dinner. Lots of fish, bread, pasta and wine!
Tomorrow we will see this city and taste what they are known for - Italian Pizza and sfogliatella.Leggi altro

Naples!
6 novembre 2018, Italia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
You know when you get to have breakfast alfresco, it's going to be a great day! Sun is shining, skies are blue, and cappacino is great!
Off we go... by motorcoach to take in the sites of the city from one of the highest points of Naples. Breathe taking view of the Mediterranean sea that can't be captured in a single picture.
Back down into the historical district for a walking tour of churches, shops and bakeries - where we had a midmorning treat, then off again.
More walking, then our coach picks us up to drive us back to the waterfront to Rosolina's. The personal pizza here is enough for 2 or more, but excellent. (Accompanied with wine.) Followed by a couple of great sfogliatella and a shot of limoncello!
Good thing the hotel we were to inspect was just a block down the street. Grand Hotel Saint Lucia is a beautifully restored hotel with an amazing view.
The rest of the afternoon was ours to do as we wished as along as we were ready to leave at 710 for our dinner at Marianna's place. More on that later.Leggi altro

Dinner at Marianna's
7 novembre 2018, Italia ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Avanti is the only company that offers this special feature - dinner in a local's home. Come, sit, relax, have a glass of wine, converse with new friends and enjoy a special evening. This evening we rode to the marina were Marianna lives in a beautiful complex. We rode the open elevator up to the 6th floor and were greeted by our gracious host.
For the next 3 hours flew by... we chatted about our day, had some wine, toasted to good days ahead, laughed, listened to a wonderful guitarist and singer and ate fabulous (what I would call) Italian comfort foods - mini 'mama's pizza', gnocchi with marinara sauce, pasta with prawns, bread, fennel and orange salad. Dessert was puffs filled with a limoncello cream and a shot of limoncello! AMAZING!
The miracle is that we all came down the elevator (3 at a time) and it still works! So full not sure I'll get to sleep anytime soon but tomorrow we head for Sorrento via Pompeii.Leggi altro
