I had not been to Rome for years and it was about time. Kaija had never been there and she was ofcause also looking forward to it. Rome is just one of the city of cities! A short resumé could be that we both loved it - what more can I say after coming back. We both have only good memories.

Monte Argentario

May 13, 2008

Monte Argentario is a commune (municipality) and a peninsula belonging to the Province of Grosseto in the Italian region Tuscany, located about 150 km south of Florence and about 35 km south of Grosseto. The peninsula is connected with the mainland by three dams which form two lagoons, the Laguna di Ponente on the west side and the Laguna di Levante on the east side of the middle dam. The two main villages on Monte Argentario are Porto Santo Stefano, facing north, and Porto Ercole facing south. The panoramic road Strada panoramica starts in Porto Santo Stefano allowing splendid views of the coast and the Tuscan Archipelago. Monte Argentario borders the commune of Orbetello, which is located on the middle dam between the two lagoons.

It was a fantastic place - I am sure I will go back. It was a small city for people coming by boat. Everything was really relaxed and nice.
