      Schlemmen in Italien

      22 Ağustos 2019, İtalya ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

      Italien in vollen Zügen genießen!
      Was gibt es Schöneres, als in einer italienischen Pasticceria zu frühstücken?
      In Ravenna fanden wir eine wirklich geniale Pasticceria, die wir euch nur empfehlen können! Sie heißt Pasticceria „Le Plaisir“. Ein Stopp hier lohnt sich!Okumaya devam et

      Centro

      28 Mart, İtalya ⋅ 🌬 20 °C

      Für die 5 Sehenswürdigkeiten aus byzantinischen und frühchristlichen Zeiten im Centro kann man 1 Ticket für 10 Euro kaufen.
      Wir sind aber fast überall so reingekommen; sogar mit Hundies 💕.

      Wir waren spät dran und so war es etwas anstrengend, alle Orte anzuschauen, obwohl sie in einem Umkreis von ca. 500-700 m zu finden sind.
      Direkt am Torbogen aus-/ einsteigen und schon ist man fast mittendrin...im UNESCO Weltkulturerbe.

      Auf dem Piazza gönnten wir uns in der Sonne noch einen Aperol-Spritz🍹

      Nochmal durchs Po Delta bis nach Ravenna

      30 Mart 2023, İtalya ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      Heute standen weitere 65 Kilometer mit dem Rad an. Zunächst fuhren wir eine Weile am Meer entlang, aber ein Großteil der Strecke führte uns nochmal durchs Po-Delta. Dort folgten wir weitgehend leeren Landstraßen und Schotterpisten, wobei uns letztere leider ziemlich ausbremsten. Auf dem Schotter kommt man gar nicht schnell voran! Ein Highlight auf der Strecke war eine bewegliche Brücke, die extra für uns auf die andere Flussseite gefahren wurde - wie eine Fähre, nur eben eine Brücke. Unterwegs sahen wir auch viele Rehe und nochmals Flamingos.

      Bei unserer Mittagspause, die wir kurzerhand einfach auf einer Bank neben dem Supermarkt machten, streckte eine ältere Frau den Kopf aus dem Nachbargebäude und redete auf italienisch auf uns ein. Als wir ihr zu verstehen gaben, dass wir nichts verstanden, kam sie sogar aus dem Haus. Wir dachten eigentlich, dass sie uns wegscheuchen wollte. Irgendwann verstanden wir, dass sie uns eine Toilette in ihrem Friseursalon anbieten wollte. Diese nahm ich gerne an und bekam noch einen gratis Espresso dazu. Die Leute hier sind echt zuvorkommend und nett - und stören sich gar nicht daran, dass wir kein Wort Italienisch sprechen, sie reden einfach trotzdem munter weiter, in der Hoffnung dass wir irgendwann verstehen was sie meinen.

      Wie geplant kamen wir dann am frühen Nachmittag an unserem Ziel Ravenna an und hatten dadurch noch genug Zeit für Stadt ein bisschen zu erkunden. Ravenna ist bekannt für ihre Mosaikgebäude (die wir aber gar nicht gesehen haben) und scheint eine nette Studentenstadt zu sein. Wir liefen etwas ziellos durch die Straßen und hakten ein paar Sehenswürdigkeiten ab, bevor wir thailändisch essen gingen und den Abend mit einem Aperol ausklingen ließen.

      Arriving to Ravenna

      4 Şubat, İtalya ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      Today, we decided to leave the encuentro early, but before we did that, we went to check out one last “brunch” milonga, and it turned out the best milonga for me, as I danced with all of my favorite good leaders and had highly enjoyable couple of hours. We then drove to nearby Ravenna, a medieval Italian city famous for its stunning colorful mosaics covering walls and ceilings of the churches. We arrived in the dark but one of the highlight churches was open late and we had it all to ourselves, admiring the dazzling mosaics, with amazing details and bright colors. We then went to our hotel and walked by the interesting small tower, which was visibly leaning, from which we concluded that leaning towers is pretty much a mundane occurrence in Italy. We went for dinner in a nice trattoria recommended by our hotel and had a delicious rabbit (not pictured due to the immediate consumption).Okumaya devam et

      Mosaic tour

      24 Kasım 2023, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 52 °F

      I slept until 9 am. because I wanted some breakfast, which closed at 10 am. I didn't sleep great, but I need to get a somewhat early start because the museums/churches close by 3 or 4 pm. I had some cold cuts and a cappuccino for breakfast and talked to Aurelia a bit.

      I headed out around 11 am. and found the first stop. I bought a ticket for all the main places which cost 12.50€.

      Basilica di San Vitale
      Mausoleum of Galla Placidia
      Baptistry of Neoniano
      Archbishop Museum and Chapel of Saint Andrea
      Basilica of Saint Apollinare Nuovo

      All but the Archbishop Museum had a lot of mosaics. Actually, even that had a small chapel. I was going to go into details for each, but honestly, they all started to look alike after a while! The mausoleums were beautiful and small. The last place was really beautiful, with long mosaics along both walls of saints--"Guys" on one side, "Dolls" on the other.

      The sites were all pretty close, with 2 in one place and another 2 in another. The last place was alone. The mausoleums had a timed entrance because they were so small.

      Before I reached the last church, I walked past Dante's tomb, house, museum, etc. Apparently, he lived in Ravenna after he was exiled from Florence. If I ever read the "Divine Comedy," I will come back and see all of this. I also tried to visit another church that had a water filled crypt, but it was closed for another 1/2 hour. I was sort of "churched out" anyway.

      So I went back to the B&B and rested. It was about 3 pm, and I wanted to nap. But instead, I pulled one of the big armchairs in front of the TV and watched NCIS LA. (I find I watch shows that I never watch at home, only because they are in English).

      Osteria dal Tempo Perso

      24 Kasım 2023, İtalya ⋅ 🌙 46 °F

      At about 6 pm, I started thinking about dinner. I always forget that on Friday and Saturday nights, it is hard to get a table. I wasn't that hungry (even though I hadn't eaten since breakfast!) and considered skipping dinner or going to the market for some prosciutto and cheese to bring back to the room. But I decided to go for it. I figured if I arrived when they opened, there might be a chance.

      There were two places that interested me. I walked past the first at 6:50, and it looked good. 2nd was still closed, but I waited at the door until 7 pm. I asked for a table for one and told them I would not stay long. I knew there might be a late reservation, and I could have the table until then. Bingo! I had to promise to be out by 9 pm, which was fine with me.

      They had a tasting menu for 55€, which I chose. I also ordered a 1/2 bottle of wine--Albina, which is a local white grape. There was a mixed group of women next to me--one German, one Lithuanian, and one Italian. We spoke a little, and I wanted to know how they met. But the Italian wasn't into talking to me, so I minded my own business... Back to the food! It started with an amuse bouche of some sort of beet cream. Next was a carpaccio of amberjack. (This was the only course that fell flat). The pumpkin ravioli with shrimp and tomato was great. My favorites were the shrimp wrapped in some sort of crunchy "strings" and the crocker fish. I had an amaro with dessert-it was like a bay leaf amaro I had in Portland. It was all worth the euros!

      I was out by 9pm, and headed home. It was cold out, but it felt good. There was a cocktail bar across the street from the B&B and I decided to stop in. It's called Fargo and they serve a little food...TexMex! Very strange to see guacamole in Italy. I had a negroni, paid and went across the street to bed.

      As I was getting ready for bed, I realized that I forgot my purse at the bar. Panic! I literally fell out of the building as I ran back to the bar. They had it for me...phew! That would have been a disaster. My passport wasn't in it at least...

      With the adrenaline rush, I was wound up and decided to use the giant marble tub in the bathroom. The water never really got hot, but it still felt great. I was in bed around 11pm.

      Casa Masoli

      23 Kasım 2023, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 52 °F

      The walk to the hotel was not bad. Flat and not too many turns. The B&B is in a nondescript building, but inside, it is like a small palace. Aurelia greeted me--she didn't speak much English, so she was happy I understood Italian. She gave me a list of restaurants and a map and took me to the room. My jaw dropped to the floor when I saw it.

      First of all, it looks like a room in a palazzo. Second, the space is bigger than my whole house! It has a tub and a shower, plus toilet and bidet. And two sinks. There's also an espresso maker and mini fridge. There are two seating areas. I feel the need to entertain...

      After unpacking a bit, I headed out for a bottle of wine. I was headed for a wine store I found online, but Aurelia said there was a place closer, with a Coop store. It turned out to be an enormous food hall--Mercato Coperto.

      There was a wine bar and some food stalls which were closed.ar the time. I wandered around the grocery store for a bit and picked a bottle of white that looked good.

      Back at the room, I rested with some wine before dinner.

      Osteria Passatelli

      23 Kasım 2023, İtalya ⋅ 🌙 45 °F

      There were three restaurants that Aurelia recommended, and I picked Osteria Passatelli. It was a big place, and there was a band setting up on stage. Honestly, I was not in the mood for a band. Then I saw it was a cover band. Hmmm...

      The menu was quite extensive, and I was quite hungry. It took me a long time to pick something. I settled on a carafe of white wine, a mixed salad, and the roasted coniglio (bunny) with roasted potatoes. I spoke briefly with a woman at the next table, who was curious about the English speaker.

      The order of food here is salad after main meal--it always throws me. The rabbit was delicious--it almost tasted like turkey. It was Thanksgiving, after all! The salad was a mix of radicchio, bib lettuce, tomatoes, and shredded carrots. Mostly shredded carrots!

      The band didn't start until 10 pm, and it was after 9 pm. I was exhausted but started to think I could make a little bit of the show.

      The band started at about 9:45pm and it was fun. They had a lead singer who looked like Freddy Mercury, but the rest of the guys were just old musicians. It was interesting to listen to since they were Italian and sometimes I couldn't understand their English in the songs. As they continued to play, people started to dance a bit. I was singing along with the songs that I knew. At one point a younger woman pulled me up to dance. "Crazy Little Thing Called Love?" Anyway, I stayed the whole show !

      I got home around midnight and was too wound up to sleep!

      Last morning in Ravenna

      25 Kasım 2023, İtalya ⋅ 🌬 48 °F

      I slept pretty well and got out of bed at 7:30. After putting in my contacts and getting dressed, I went to breakfast. This morning, I opted for eggs and bacon. I also had some cheese and a really delicious little pistachio cake, along with my cappuccino.

      Back in the room, I had about an hour to pack. I finished my ablutions and got everything in order. Check out was at 10 am , and I was in the lobby by 10:05. Since I can't check in to my hotel in Bologna until 2pm, I didn't want to leave town quite yet. I checked out and left my bags at he B&B.

      My first order of business was to find some lip balm. Mine fell apart at some point, and it is a necessity in winter! The Coop in the market had some. I wandered around a bit and tried to find a bottle of the amaro I had last night, but no luck.

      I finally decided to go back to the market hall and have an espresso and relax until noon. I want to take the 12:44 train to Bologna, and I needed about 10 minutes to walk to the station . It was fun to people watch for a bit.

      I picked up my bags around 12:10 and made my way to the station. The walk wasn't too bad, and I arrived about 20 minutes before departure.

      I'm on the train now. It is just over an hour trip. Two cities are now completed 😔. Next stop, Bologna 😁 !
