Italy Travel Blogs | Travelogues | Travel Journals

ALL my travel blogs are a work in progress...excuse the mayhem. I'll figure it all someday:) Rome was spectacular to see and experience. Wish I'd had more time to explore, albeit still grateful for the chance to go!

just put us on a plane or a mountain (just don't put the plane into the mountain) and we will be happy!!! this is much more a photo album than an actual blog. those will come soon!

After checking in to our hotel, we ended up walking around the surrounding area in search of our first Italian meal. We ended up stopping at a crowded cafe featuring live music. The musician playing music had long, extremely curly hair pulled back in a pony tail and was singing a very interestering and eclectic mix of music in English, including Bob Marley and Barry White songs! He also threw in a couple of Eros Ramazzotti ballads, which made me happy since I had always dreamt of li...

I spent 3 weeks in Italy, staying in wonderful families and travelling to great cities, eating great food and having lots of fun with really cool people!

Since we booked at the ryan air site, we thought one bag would be enough. We should hav know bettr, that I would bring more, haha. We had anothr bag, but did not notify it, so we had to pay 20 euro. We will hav to do this, every time we check in at the air port. We arrivd around 8 am to 'venice', smokng a cigart is the frst thing we did and then searchng for the bus we had to take to the hotel. Our hotel was not in 'venice' it selv, but in 'Mestre', close to the city. The bus ride is about on...

An amazing experience about the true south of Italy, with a real eye opener in Naples, what a wonderfull city and people..

Roma è uno dei nostri posti favoriti nel mondo! Ora siamo stati alcune volte ed ottiene soltanto più meglio!! L'atmosfera, la gente, l'alimento, la coltura, la lingua… tutta lo prende appena dentro e gli rende il tatto come se infine siate venuto a casa! :)

Venice began with an evening meal at a wonderful restaurant in Venice.  We took our bus from the hotel to where we could we water-taxied out onto the island.  Naturally the dinner was delicious and of course was fish.  What else would you eat in Venice. Good wine, good music, and good food. After dinner, we strolled to St. Mark's Square.  The evening stroll made so much sense.  No pigeons, less people, and all of the wonderful architecture of the Byzantine Basi...

wow today was soooo much better. got up early this morning and had a ok breakfast at the hostel, all hostels is the same, cereal and toast and oj, which is fine with me, better then nothing. also i have noticed that in most the countires i go in, they serve cold cuts with breakfast, its just a lil diff for me to eat cold meat slices and cheese in the morning, so i usually stick to bread and jam but hey i tried it.  today i was going with some people from my hostel on a bus tour of tus...

Today was the official end of classes and the choir concert conducted by the cutest maestro, Nino the chef, and this evening we had our farewell dinner, complete with molto, molto thanks and hand clapping for the amazing people who helped and taught us throughout this fantastic semester!Cena was delicious! Lasagna, Helen's grilled chicken and peppers, plus Helen's TIRAMISU!!! Yum! It's sad that this semester is coming to a close. It's been really fantastic; I've been a lot of places and seen ...

Rome, Vatican City, down the Amalfi Coast to Sorrento and Positano and then up to Florence.

i have been driving from Milan to Bolzano for almost 3 hours, reaching Alpe di Siusu after other 40 minutes. You need a special permit to go into the Alpi di Siusi Park, one of the better spot in all europe for walking. No cars, several perfectly marked tracks, allows you to spend days of wonderfull hiking around SASSO LUNGO and SASSO PIATTO, the well know dolomites mountains. The bast track that i advice is the "sentiero augusto", that drive around the mountains at a constant level aro...

Some scannedred pictures from differet travels in Italy with my family when i was a kid..

for our last day in florence we went to see the ponte vecchia and the palazzo pitti that is close there. well the  ponte vecchia (bridge) is far more impressive from far than standing on it, it used to be the butchers bridge and they through their leftovers just in the river, nowadays all those tiny houses sell expensive jewelery! that a big difference!,on the other side of the bridge, there is the palazzo pitti, the best example of renaissance architecture, a very wide building with hug...

I was few days in Milan with my greates friends. Beautiful city, and few days is to short time to know it well. I will be back there for sure :)
