Day 2
Quartiere Trastevere 🌃🍝🎶
September 30, 2023 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 21 °C
Por fin llega uno de mis momentos más esperados: ir al supermercado 😂

Elijo el Esselunga más próximo, ya que tengo buen recuerdo de las últimas veces en Italia y acabo comprando más cosas de las que necesito pero es imposible no llevarme tantas cosas que no voy a encontrar fuera de Italia 😆

Esta noche voy a pasear al barrio de Trastevere, zona más bohemia de la ciudad, conocida por sus colores, restaurantes y ambiente nocturno 🌛 lo que más me impresiona sin embargo, no son las muchas luces, sino la cantidad de personas tocando instrumentos y cantando que hay en cada esquina 🎙️🎺🎶

Realmente se nota mucho que es sábado noche por lo llenas que están las calles, en las que a veces cuesta andar. Paseo por las calles y plazas principales aunque no consigo ir a ninguno de los restaurantes que tenía en mi lista porque están completamente llenos 🙉

Esto me hace alejarme de las calles más transitadas y encontrar un pequeño restaurante, perfecto para una cena tranquila (y un poco picante) mientras hablo con Violeta 🍝🍺🤌🏼Read more

Day 3
Durch die Gassen von Trastevere
November 11, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Das Viertel Trastevere stand auf meinem Plan, da ich von Bildern der Gassen in diesem Stadtteil sehr begeistert war. Live war es zum Glück ähnlich! Durch verschiedenste Gassen auf dem Weg zu unserem Hauptziel in Trastevere konnten wir die Eindrücke und den Charme des Viertels aufsaugen. Trastevere gilt als das ursprünglichste und authentischste Viertel der Stadt. Das inzwischen trendige Viertel Trastevere war vor Jahrhunderten die Heimat der Arbeiterklasse. Bekannt ist die Gegend für ihre traditionellen und innovativen Trattorias, Craft-Bier-Bars, Kunsthandwerksläden, eher einfachen B&Bs und Budget-Hotels.Read more

Day 6
5. Tag Rom
November 26, 2023 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 8 °C
Es wurde trotz Kälte über einen Flohmarkt zur berühmten spanischen Treppe geradelt. Naja, in der Sonne ist es immer noch warm genug für einen Capu im Freien.

Von der Spanischen Treppe ging es weiter zu Fuß zur Villa Borghese und den umliegenden Park.

Allerdings als es dunkel wurde, wurde es auch Winter. Es waren noch gefühlt 6-7 Grad, was aber anscheinend den Römer nicht weiter stört. Denn es gab um die Ecke vom Apartment wieder Live Musik und in der Bar saßen alle draußen, wie bei 30 Grad. Da fällt mir einfach nur Asterix ein."Die spinnen die Römer "!Read more

Day 84
Rome Day 1
December 3, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Our journey from Perugia to Rome went smoothly without any incident, and this is our last and final public transport transfer. We did not trust ourselves with the public transport to the airport so we've booked a private transfer recommended by a friend who lives in Rome. Relieved we be to complete all these bus, train and luggage transfers. It was a total of 24 accommodation transfers over 5 countries in 13 weeks.

We went to very busy flea market in Trastevere, Rome where our accommodation is. There were miles of trestle tables piled high with clothes from €2- €60 per item. It was so busy, even Ruby could not find anything to buy. Less than halfway through, we abandoned market in search for lunch. We then retreated from the Sunday crowds into Basilica Santa Maria Trastevere.

Day 3
Mouth of Truth, Rome
September 6, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Next stop was the Mouth of Truth, where superstition has it that if you place your hand in the mouth of this ancient carving of a pagan god and tell a lie, your hand will be chopped off. Thankfully Brad and I passed the test.

While no one is exactly sure when or why the frieze was created, there are a number of theories dating back to the 1st century. While the origin is up for debate the legend surrounding the stone carving biting the hand off a liar seems to have originated during the Middle Ages when the disc was supposedly used during trials. The accused put their hand in the slot and if found guilty a hidden axe man would lop off the appendage. And to think we put our hands in that same spot.Read more

Day 3
Skull of Saint Valentine, Rome
September 6, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
The Mouth of Truth sits at the entrance of the Basilica Di Santa Maria in Cosmedin, home to the skull of St. Valentine. In actual fact it is uncertain if this is the skull of St. Valentine, with at least 10 other places around the world claiming they have the saint’s relics.

The church itself is very old, standing on the site of an ancient Roman temple that dates back to the second century B.C. Most of what is standing today dates back to the 8th and 12th centuries. It is simple and beautiful, with intricate mosaic floors and stunning altars.

The church also contains Pope Hadrian’s Crypt. Constructed in the 8th century to store the relics taken from the catacombs of Pope Adrian I. While not as impressive as many we have seen, it was still worth seeing.Read more

Day 3
Antica Roma e quartiere ebraico 🪙🏛️🌇
October 1, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Arrivo al tour más histórico que voy a hacer, centrado en la historia de Roma y las zonas más antiguas y emblemáticas. Llego tarde, pero limpio después de una necesaria ducha 😆

Empezamos en el Circo Máximo, donde se realizaban las famosas carreras de caballos y desde el que hay una vista del Monte Palatino, donde vivían emperadores y familias aristocráticas 💡 También es conocido por ser el lugar legendario donde Rómulo fundó la ciudad de Roma.

Seguimos hacia la Boca de la Verdad y el Foro Boario, donde se encuentra el templo de Hércules, construido en el año 120 a. C. Osea tiene casi 2.200 años y está muy bien conservado. Me quedo literalmente de piedra de pensar que monumentos construidos "Antes de Cristo" sigan aún en pie 🤯

Pero con lo que se me desencaja la mandíbula es con el "Piccolo Colosseo", un anfiteatro del siglo I a. C. sobre el cual hay un piso de viviendas de lujo, una de las cuales fue subastada el año pasado por más de 40 millones de euros 🫠

A través del Pórtico de Octavia llegamos al gueto o barrio judío, uno de los más antiguos de Europa y famoso por sus pintorescas calles y su imponente sinagoga. Además, me parece muy interesante la historia de las Piedras del Tropiezo, rememorando a los judíos asesinados por los nazis durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial 🪨

Y terminamos en el Largo Argentina, que ahora son unas ruinas y fue exactamente donde tuvo lugar el asesinato de Julio César en el año 44 a.C. 🙉Read more

Day 3
Passticeria il Boccione, Rome
September 6, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
After a bit more wandering we found the oldest surviving bakery in Rome’s Jewish Ghetto. This humble and unassuming bakery opened in 1815 and is famous for its crostata and pizza ebraica. The history behind the crostata shows the resourcefulness of the Jewish people.

There isn’t anything outstanding about this bakery with its floor covered with flour and limited options of offerings, but to know we are standing in a place that has operated for over 200 years is amazing.

I had read that we had to try a pizza ebraica which in fact, isn’t a pizza but a hard cookie studded with dried fruits and nuts. It was so delicious we ate it before remembering to take a photo.

The Jewish quarter, once home to the Jewish Ghetto, is a place filled with such a devasting history. From 1886 - 1904, the ghetto was leveled and measures were taken to "start again" with a limited number of the origianal structures. Instead plaques now recall a former place and time, reminding all of the history of this place.Read more

Temple of Hercules Victor and Portunus
September 6, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Across the road from the Basilica are two temples, the Temple of Hercules Victor and the Temple of Portunus.

The Temple of Hercules Victor is a small Roman temple constructed around the year 120 BC, making it the oldest still-standing marble building in Rome, and the second oldest building in Rome. It is known as a tholos, a round Greek temple encircled by a Greek marble colonnade.

The Temple of Portunus dates back to the 1st century and was dedicated to Portunus, the Roman god of doors, keys and livestock. It overlooks the port of Rome, watching over the goods entering the city.

While we couldn’t go into these it is still amazing seeing these structures in such good condition, standing strong against the beautiful blue sky.Read more
