      רומא! כמה שאת יפה! 💜

      August 14, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

      אחרי 48 שעות של שכרון חושים ברומא,
      וכמעט 35 ק״מ הליכה במצטבר, אנחנו עכשיו ברכבת חזרה לנפולי שם נעשה את הלילה האחרון ומחר יוצאים לאזור האמלפי.
      אנחנו מרוצים ורצוצים! 😌🥱😮‍💨
      הילדים קצת מפורקים אם לומר את האמת, לא רגילים למרתון כזה.
      אבל כולם מבסוטים שהצלחנו לראות גם את רומא ואפילו הספקנו את רוב רשימת החובה לבקר.
      משתפת עוד קצת תמונות מהרחובות המושלמים של העיר הזאת, הפיאצות הרומנטיות, חלונות הראווה המדהימים (ממש יצירת אומנות) ואתרים היסטוריים מרתקים❣️

      Part 3 Day 25

      August 22 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

      We also went and saw the Piazza of Novano. It was a bummer that all 3 fountains were being restored, but we understand that they are old and need some loving. What makes this place really cool is that the Piazza is in an oval shape and back in the day, the Roman's would have their chariot races here. I can picture Charles Heston in Ben Hur on his chariot. Since it was our last night, there were foods I wanted to try before we left. We were able to try 2 out of 3. I'll have to try the maritozzi next time. The suppli was yummy. They were those brown balls filled with rice, mozzarella, and red sauce😋 I shouldn't have waited till the last day to have them because I want more. I also had a yummy pasta dish called Ali Americana with fresh pasta made by Italian ladies next door. We both really like Rome. There is so much to see here that we didn't even touch the surface. I know we'll be back for some more site seeing and for suppli and maritozzi.Read more

      Roma!!

      May 25, 2023 in Italy

      Pictures are a mixture from last night and today. Last night we had a great dinner, the people here are great! Shared lots of laughs.

      Today we visited the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, and the Colosseum!! We were in awe. A very cool experience. It was very hot today… 80 degrees with not a single cloud in the sky.
      Another great day, excited for dinner tonight:) the night life here is amazing!

      Rome Day 1

      August 28 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

      Woke up as the ship berthed, gathered our things and then walked the 30 minutes to the train station for our train to Roma Termini. The countryside is more diverse than I expected. Huge rock hills on the Adriatic coast to farmland in the middle, interspersed with villages. Found our accommodation - again good except this one is not hear public transport so there will be lots of walking. First stop was the Castle of the Angels - Castel Sant’Angelo - probably one of my favourite places in Rome. Explored the whole site, sadly the Pont Sant’Angelo (bridge) is under reconstruction so only a limited view of all of Bernini’s angels. Weaved our way back through to our accommodation and a nearby dinner - just walking the streets is lovely.Read more

    • Day 3

      🇩🇪 Wie schön ist denn diese Stadt ?Am Piazza Navona müssen wir noch an der ´Touristation’ einige vorreservierte Tickets abholen - und dürfen bei der Gelegenheit den « Vier-Ströme-Brunnen » bewundern.
      Von dort geht es zur Tiber-Insel (Mittagspause), auf dem Weg besuchen wir noch eine Kirche in der 3 Bilder von Caravaggio hängen. Von der Tiberinsel gehen wir dann am Tiber entlang bis zur Engelsburg, von der wir atemberaubende Sichten auf die Stadt insgesamt und den Petersdom insbesonders haben.
      Abends besuchen wir den sehr belebten Stadtteil Travestere. Nach einem sehe verdienten Aperetivo haben wir ein hervorragendes sizilianisches Abendessen, dessen Hauptgang unmittelbaren Zugang in unsere Koch-Standards gefunden hat : Spagetti mit Fenchel-Anchovi-Tomatenpesto Sauce. Hmmm -ein würdiger Abschluss !

      🇫🇷 Qu’elle est belle cette ville !
      Sur la Piazza Navona, nous devons aller chercher quelques billets pré-réservés à la "Touristation" - et pouvons par la même occasion admirer la "Fontaine des quatre fleuves".
      De là, nous nous rendons sur l'île du Tibre (pause déjeuner), et en chemin, nous visitons une église dans laquelle sont accrochés trois tableaux du Caravage. De l'île du Tibre, nous longeons le Tibre jusqu'au château Saint-Ange, d'où nous avons des vues à couper le souffle sur la ville en général et sur la basilique Saint-Pierre en particulier.
      Le soir, nous visitons le quartier très animé de Travestere. Après un apéritif bien mérité, nous avons un excellent dîner sicilien, dont le plat principal est entré directement dans nos standards culinaires : des spaghettis avec une sauce au fenouil sauvage, à l'anchois mise en purée avec des raisins secs et au pesto de tomates. Hmmm - un final digne de cette journée.

      Ende gut alles gut

      April 22 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Nach einem letzten Frühstück in der Sonne am Campo die Fiori wurden wir von Allesio ( beste Wahl) mit dem Taxi zum Flughafen abgeholt. Dann hatten wir einen guten Rückflug. ✈️Micha entwickelt sich noch zum Vielflieger, auch dieses Mal ging's ohne Tablette. Gut in good cold Germany 🥶gelandet, schnell noch nach Hause gefahren. Und hier endet unser schrittreicher ( ca. 80.000 ) erlebnisreicher ( mind. 15 Sehenwürdigkeiten) genussvoller (Pizza 🍕,Pasta 🍝 , Aperol Spritz🍹) Städtetrip nach Rom. 🇮🇹
      Ende gut alles gut

      Rome: Museo di Roma … Palazzo Braschi

      October 28, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F

      By the time we left Palazzo Altemps, it was past noon. We wanted to visit one more palazzo/museum before we went in search of lunch.

      Museo di Roma’s Palazzo Braschi, located on the far side of Piazza Navona, seemed like the most convenient choice.

      Palazzo Braschi is considered a fine example of 18th-19th century civil architecture in Rome. It was built for the nephew of Pope Pius VI … Luigi Braschi Onesti. In addition to the frescoes that decorate many of the rooms, the palazzo is known for its excellent acoustics.

      This museum had more paintings and panel-based art on display than sculptures. I have to admit I paid more attention to the frescoed rooms and elaborate ceilings here than I did to the art. Luckily, of the two floors we focused on, the third floor had a small number of exhibits and the rooms were not decorated …otherwise we never would have made it out for lunch.

      One of the highlights of this museum had nothing to do with the art or the palazzo, however. Rather, it was the amazing aerial views of Piazza Navona from the windows on the third floor … picture-postcard perfect.

      Museo di Roma

      October 24 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      On our way home, we discovered a little museum, and it was well worth making to stop. Books 📚 📖 dating back to the 17th century depicting mathematical equations, physics formulas, and biology drawings. It is absolutely fascinating! Beautiful paintings and a 17th-century carriage in the entrance, and we had the whole place to ourselves, no crowds! Had a nice lasagne for tea and a glass of wine - bed 🛌 😴Read more

      Split Day 3

      August 26 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 36 °C

      Due to issues with dates today is the day that we have to change accommodation. Managed to drop our bags at the new place as we left the old one which was handy. Other side of town and an unusual place - but comfortable. Right near the main beach. So went down and spent some time just watching the goings on at the beach. The sand was more like mud than sand but everyone seemed to be quite enthused about it - it certainly was busy enough. Then off to Diocletian’s palace to explore the underneath further - they have a museum down there. It was so good (and cool as almost underground). This area is where Daenerys Targaryen in Game of Thrones kept her dragons. Ran into our Seattle friends from the winery part of the Krka tour and caught up on both our days
      Went over the road to TOC for tea and then sat and watched YouTube for bits of the Game of Thrones that was filmed in Croatia before retiring for the night.

      Split Day 4

      August 27 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 35 °C

      Checked out of our accommodation and put our baggage in store at the port. Then headed off to the Archeological Museum. A fair walk but worth it. So much Roman stuff from the 1st to the 4th century. Ian was in his element. But if figured if you want the family portrait to last, best so it in stone 🤣. Wandered back to the old town and decided to do dessert first - the ice creams here are really good - and so many gelato shops. With dessert done we did lunch. Ian finally got his sardines and I had scampi tacos - amazing 🤩 . .Then went to the Natural History Museum - interesting but …. But we scored the free day so that worked well. Then off to the port - quite a wait before we boarded our boat where we had a cabin on board - not a lot of room, but our own bathroom! And at 7.30 we headed in on our way to Italy. It was beautiful watching the port and Croatia disappear into the distance. And a surprisingly good nights sleep.Read more
