    • Day 40

      Lerici

      September 13, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      Yet again, hit the ground running! Because I dropped into the hostel at around 3, I was recommended to go to a neighbouring town called Lerici! It is beautiful. A hill side town, all colourful buildings, LOTS of boats and mountains in the distance 😍 love love loveRead more

      So Grateful

      September 15, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      It has been another day of "I never thought I would get to do this". To hike along UNESCO trails in Cinque Terre in Italy, wander through tiny, steep villages, swim in the Mediterranean Ocean, eat lunch under the shade of olives trees while looking at the ocean. Just when I think it can't get better .....
      And I get to do it all again tomorrow 💕💕

      May 11, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      Ich bin ein großer Fan der selbstgemachten pasta der Familie martelli und zack sind wir in den Produktionsort nach Lari gefahren. Ich konnte einen ganz kleinen Blick der Produktion erhaschen undhabeordentlich eingekauft. Dann ging es weiter in Richtung Livorno um dort durch die 5 km lange Allee der Cypressen Richtung Bolgherie zu fahren. Vorher hatten wir nochmal den vollen Genuss einer 30 minütigen Fahrt durch die wie gemalten Hügel der Toskana zu cruisen. Es war ein wunderschöner TagRead more

    • Nautical Nights 🌄🛟🛶🌓

      June 11, 2022 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 23 °C

      Second last night in the Italian Riviera! As promised, here are some spectacular images of Riomaggiore by night. The vibe in this town is very relaxed and chilled. A very good way to end a week long stay in the Cinque Terre. But! Wait! There’s more!

      Tomorrow morning I’ve booked an authentic Pesto Experience at Nessum Dorma in the last of the five towns: Manarola! It’s a very sought after experience and one of the only ways to guarantee a place for lunch at this establishment!

      Of course, had they known who I was then this obstacle would not be necessary 😝😝😝

    • Ravishing Riomaggiore: Final Act

      June 12, 2022 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 24 °C

      Sadly, time to bid farewell to the Italian Riviera. As a final tribute let’s appreciate the balcony views while feasting on fresh mussels, regional wine 🍷 Limoncello 🍋 and cannoli…

      No words 😶
      Just mindful moments of appreciation 🇮🇹☀️🌿

      Jour 13 - Les Cinque Terre

      August 3, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

      Ce matin nous avons pris le train direction Riomaggiore, un des 5 petits villages des Cinque Terre. Après 2h de train nous avons pu admirer la beauté de ce village à flanc de falaise, typique de la région de Ligurie.
      Nous avons déjeuné puis nous nous sommes promenés dans le village et sur le littoral.
      En début d’après-midi nous avons rejoint Manarola, un second village des Cinque Terre, par la montagne : nous avons dû sacrément grimper pour arriver à destination 🥵 mais la montée en valait la peine, le village était tout aussi magnifique que le premier.
      Malgré le temps nuageux, nous avons passé une super journée. Nous sommes rentrés vers 21h à Gênes et avons dégusté un délicieux burger, pour changer des pizzas 😋

      Demain, nous visitons Portofino, les paysages risquent d’être tout aussi jolis 😉

    • Day 12

      Cinque Terre - Riomaggiore

      September 24, 2022 in Italy ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

      Sind dann nach einem Mittagessen und Nickerchen dann doch mit dem Rad los, (hatten wohl noch Strom für 18km) als es dann kurz trocken war. Ziemlich steil bergab, viele Treppen, aber Komoot wollte daher. Strasse fahren- viel zu langweilig.
      Tolles kleines Dorf am Meer.
      Damit ich dann überhaupt noch ins Meer komme (Morgen fahren wir hier sehr früh los und heim - zum Tatort zu Hause???) musste ich dann in der Altstadt am Rande des Ministrand (Badebereich von 20m2) von den Klippen springen. (nicht meine Idee, haben das vorher von weit oben bei einem anderen Pärchen beobachtet-keine Polizia, also darf ich das auch)
      Endlich Mittelmeersalz auf der Haut...
      Nach einem kleinen Snack müssen wir nur noch den Berg wieder hoch, kurze Übernachtung und dann leider auf dem kürzesten Weg wieder heim.
      Danke an meine Nine für dieses tolle Urlaubsziel Italia-Toscana 💋❤️💜💗

    • Day 9

      Train strikes force change of plans

      April 13, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      As I have always said to Lissy and Emily, try to make the best out of every situation in which you find yourself.
      So we arrived in La Spezia on the 13th for two nights, with a plan to spend the 14th touring the famous Cinque Terre (5 cliff top villages close together). However, we arrived to the news that there was going to be a National rail strike on the 14th.
      So rather than killing time on 13th, we shot straight off to the Cinque Terre and visited two of the towns by walking the cliff top trail between them. We were probably deceived by the sign in Manarola which said Riomaggiore was only 1 kilometre away. Little did we know that it involves a 500 metre, near vertical climb up rocky steps, followed by a similar descent the other side! But those views!!
      Finished off with a beer and sandwich in a bar overlooking the sea.
      Fabulous afternoon.

    • Day 129

      Cinque Terre

      July 24, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

      We had a relaxed morning today after our big hike yesterday and chilled on the balcony. It was sprinkling for a bit and a bit windy so it was a good time to enjoy relaxing in the apartment!

      We went for a short walk to buy lunch (some more classic seafood cones - this time pictured!) We also bought some supplies for our last night and then relaxed and went for a swim off the rocks in the town and hung out there for a few hours.

      We returned back to the place for a chilled night of cards and pasta!

    • Rest & Relax in Riomaggiore

      June 11, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      Sitting on our private balcony overlooking the Riomaggiore with the Italian Vintage Summer 🌺 playlist! Just returned from a meandering wander through the very picturesque streets and tunnels of this beautiful town! And, in case you’re wondering 💭 Yes! The business owners seem friendly & relaxed 😌 It’s so refreshing to experience mutual respect ✊🏻 after V.

      It’s just turned 6pm. Wine 🍷 time on the terrace. Sun ☀️ is high in the sky on a 30 degree day. Oh! I dread 😬 coming back to Winter 🥶 after being treated to a second Summer 🌺
      If only I could travel indefinitely… I’m really pleased with my thought in packing this time: I have worn everything I have brought which often doesn’t happen. It’s still an extra stress, especially post Covid and flying cheap-ass airlines like RyanAir! You almost have an anxiety 😦 attack hoping your case doesn’t go universal the strict requirements… more than allowance equals big bucks 💰 extra! 🥹

      Been for 3 swims 🏊‍♂️ today and I’m feeling relaxed but I must admit that a week looking a pretty painted houses 🏘 and navigating 🧭 steps and hills and rocks 🪨 is probably enough. Don’t get me wrong: I’ve adored every town except V… well, not true. It was spectacular too. Just the folks needed to attend Tourism 101. 😝😝😝😊

      Richard & I went into the local deli and bought some goats 🐐 cheese 🧀 which is yum 😋 and focaccia, strawberries 🍓 (with taste!) and freshly picked olives 🫒 for pre dinner 🍽 platter. Having an actual apartment, as in London last week, certainly adds to the enjoyment of having space and room to move, along with your own space. This apartment is bigger than mine! It’s fabulous 😎😎😎

      Enjoy Riomaggiore by day… ☀️🍋🥐🍕🍸🍷🚄
      I’ll take some nighttime representation when the sun goes down. At 9pm 😝😝😝
