Landed on Pisa Airport straight to Florence by train about an hour journey. It seemed easy to locate the hostel from Hostel direction prebooked earlier but I lost! Reached there after nearly an hour strolling like homeless guy but another thing came up. Check-in was only from 11 am till 9pm and I a…

This was our first destination on our backpacking adventure. We arrived from London and got here about 11pm at night. We had to get our lugguage and then catch the last bus from the airport to our hostel. The bus ride was great! See Genova at night and going along streets full of life that you woul…

It was also a sunny day.  I felt my legs and feet all got better, so of course, I started my day by walking to Foro Romano and Colosseo. But first I wanted to have breakfast. The bar in front of the hotel was ok, but I wanted to eat something different, so I went to the area of Termini st…

I wasn't too concerned about meeting up with my kids at the airport in Rome, but was happy to encounter no problems in finding them immediately upon their arrival at the airport. My flight arrived a couple hours before theirs did so I had plenty of time to figure that out. We met in the b…

The first morning, after fresh coffee and scrumptious still-warm cornetti, we set off to cook in a country villa/hotel in Montefalco itself.
