Next stop on our journey south was the town of Tropea. A very pretty beach side town, with the main old town perched up the top of the cliff. It was a fair bit busier than where we’d been in the Cilento Coast, with the main viewpoint was quite popular with tourists from all over… Read More Tropea (AKA onion town)
From Naples, we headed south to Sicily with a couple of stops along the way. The Cilento Coast was the first as we’d heard it was a more chilled version of the Amalfi Coast and given we’d just hired a car for this journey we were looking for less busy places. Italian driving can be… Read More Cilento Coast
During our class, we obviously needed to not just eat the pizza but make the pizza as well. You know, like that old movie quote: “In this country, you gotta make the pizza first. Then when you get the pizza, you get the power. Then when you get the power, you get to eat the… Read More Pizza making in Naples
After the thefts we needed to be cheered up! So, once we’d been to the Police Station to report the cash taken from our luggage (so we could claim it on insurance, we didn’t expect anything to actually be done about it), we did what anyone would do in Naples and ate pizza 🍕🍕🍕 Breakfast… Read More Drowning our sorrows (Italian style)
We didn’t really think it through to be honest. I’d pretty much forgotten about it. Years ago we’d had thefts in Spain, Peru, Bolivia and Chile. But our luck with things getting taken in Spanish speaking countries was far from over alas… After leaving a friend in the south of France we headed into Spain… Read More The curse of the Spanish speaking countries
For our last few days in France, we booked a place near Disney Paris. While in Tokyo, we went to Disney Sea, but this was our first time in the original Disneyland. Z and I planned the day, and after arriving on the train, we split up and, respectively, went to rides Autopia and Big… Read More Disney Paris (by Z)
We got Wise cards for our travels as it offers some of the best rates when you’re overseas. What we didn’t know about was the cute animations it (sometimes) does when you pay on your phone. I haven’t figured out why it does them some times and not others – it’s a bit of a… Read More Animations
France does bread and cheese so well (insert chef’s kiss x 100 here) and we did our best to try as much as we could. (Doing our Australian heritage proud I tell you!) There is just sooo much choice, even in the supermarket. A common lunch for us was a baguette (or two) and some… Read More French delicacies
Over the past three months we have been traveling through the UK and Europe and have been lucky enough to spend a lot of time with old friends. One of the great things about this is that we get to eat really well: local specialties, amazing home cooked meals and a selection of fabulous drinks… Read More Feasts with Friends
We had two nights in the picturesque town of Gruyères, Switzerland and we ate very well! Definitely two nights is enough with so much fondue, not to mention it’s a bit more expensive as well 😬 There isn’t a lot of choices when it comes to accommodation here so we stayed in a hotel which… Read More Mmm… (swiss) cheese
