Driving to Cortona
25 oktober 2023, Italië ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
A driver picked us up on Acquaviva and drive us very fast on a narrow road to Cortona. Watch the video as he drives us quickly up a narrow steep street to our hotel in Cortona. He stopped the car in the middle of the steep street and said “OK!” when we arrived at our hotel. We will stay here two nights.Meer informatie

Archidado Joust in Cortona
12 juni 2022, Italië ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Jeden ersten Sonntag im Juni macht das Städtchen Cortona eine Zeitreise ins Mittelalter, dann findet der Archidado Joust statt. Die Stadt wird festlich geschmückt und fast alle Einwohner versammeln sich in prächtigen Kostümen auf dem zentralen Platz, damit jeweils zwei Repräsentanten der fünf Stadtteile im Armbrustschießen den Gewinner der „verretta“ (Goldenen Pfeil) ermitteln. Erstmalig ausgetragen wurde der Wettbewerb im Jahr 1397 anlässlich der Hochzeit von Francesco Casali und Antonia Salimbeni.
Wir hatten nur durch den Buschfunk unserer Nachbarn von dem Spektakel gehört und waren völlig begeistert. Mathilda hat noch zwei Abende später im Bett getrommelt und geklatscht.Meer informatie

Arrivederci Cortona…
15 juli 2022, Italië ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Leaving time…

Arrivederci Villa Borgo San Pietro 👋🏼
Für uns geht es heute weiter zur nächsten bzw. letzten Station für eine Nacht.
Bisher war es ein unfassbar schöner Urlaub, wenn auch aufgrund des extremen Wetters, auch ein wenig anstrengend. 🥵
Das Hotel ist absolut zu empfehlen, wenn man seine Ruhe haben möchte und nicht inmitten aller Touris wohnen möchte. 🌴☀️
Man ist zwar auf ein Auto angewiesen um abends ins Partnerhotel oder ins Zentrum zu kommen und zu essen, da das Hotel selber kein Abendessen anbietet, aber wenn man das weiß, tut es dem Urlaub keinen Abbruch. Zusätzlich steht auch ein Shuttle Service zur Verfügung.
Wir persönlich würden aber nicht mehr im Hochsommer hierher fahren, sondern eher zur Osterzeit o.ä. 🙈Meer informatie

Ma Cortonában kezdtünk, ami szintén egy hegyre épült és hát elég pazar kilátás volt. Természetesen az épületek is szépek, a kis sikátorokból se volt hiány. Itt forgatták a La vita é bella című filmet. Nagyon hangulatos kis téren ittunk egy kávét meg ettünk fagyit.Meer informatie

On to Tuscany!
19 september 2017, Italië ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
We started our day in Rivotella, the town where Linda's maternal grandfather was born. Linda took a photo of gray Lake Garda. We then took a long drive to Creti in Tuscany, where we will stay for four nights. The Italian drivers all think they are Mario Andretti, but they appear to be consistent about it. We did some shopping after the long drive and made some salmon and salad for dinner. Touring Tuscany tomorrow.Meer informatie

Cortona is the walled city made famous by the book and movie "Under the Tuscan Sun" (with the ever homely Diane Lane). We didn't see Diane, but did stroll the streets and had an opportunity to hike up to the Church of Santa Margherita (the path leading to the church is captured in a couple of today's pics.) Beautiful day in the low 70's and sunshine. We also spent some time in Foiano, where we sought out another gelato shop. Ay caramba!Meer informatie

Reiziger Lois & I were in Cortona in 2001. Nothing has changed. We stopped in a restaurant for dinner and had a Tuscan steak. Prepared like Nono did on the BBQ. Best steak I ever had. Also we sat across from the “This Old House” stars Norm and Steve. They were taking about rehabbing a house in Cortona. It didn’t happen.

In Le Montagne
7 mei 2023, Italië ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
Today was all about mountain roads. Very technical with tons of switchbacks through the Apennine Mountains. Cortona, where “Under the Tuscan Sun” was filmed (and today was also hosting a Porsche car show); Urbino, the birthplace of motorcycle legend Valentino Rossi; and finally San Marino, which I learned is a country all to itself. It’s also where we are staying tonight.

INCREDIBLE views all day but the riding was exhausting, and not for the faint of heart. The other rider on this trip went down twice! Thankfully, at very low speeds, so he is ok apart from a bruised ego.

To Florence tomorrow, hopefully dodging the forecasted raindrops. 🌧️ 🚫

A domani!Meer informatie

Passione compost 🍃
20 oktober 2023, Italië ⋅ 🌬 22 °C
Tanto vento, ma anche colori fantastici all’alba ☀️ E trovato delle bellissime spine di un’istrice 🦔
Pranzo dedicato ai racconti di incidenti, malattie e imprevisti in viaggio 🦠🩺 Ne hanno da raccontare Sabine e John 😮
Pomeriggio dedicato ai lavori di giardinaggio 🌱 Tra millepiedi, scarafaggi e camole abbiamo scoperto anche noi la passione per il compost - Aria è molto fiera di noi 😋
Mangiato da Mauro, nelle vicinanze di Gubbio. Si potrebbe chiamare ‘un’esperienza’ 😅 Pizza fatta in casa, farcita un po’ a fantasia, seduti nello scantinato di una casa, tra i vecchietti del paese 🍕
Domani giorno libero, dedicato alla scoperta di Gubbio e Perugia 🏰
Ogni tanto ci fermiamo e ci chiediamo se tutto questo è vero… ♥️Meer informatie

Wir waren gestern auf heute auf einem kleinen Campingplatz in der Nähe des Sees. Dieser war mit 25 Euro pro Nacht und 2 Personen recht günstig. Der Ort hatte ein paar Restaurants. Insgesamt war dieser sehr voll, da die Italiener Feiertag hatten.Meer informatie
