The Final Day

On April 28, 2023April 28, 2023 By redpathateaseIn Italy7 Comments

We had a very lazy start to the day as we had nothing specific booked. Breakfast at the hotel then we began walking. We headed over to an area We hadn't been in before, the Dorsoduro quarter, to find Campo San Barnaba, where they had floating markets and apparently the movie Indiana Jones and the …

Venice

On April 27, 2023April 27, 2023 By redpathateaseIn Italy1 Comment

The first full day in Venice! Of all the places we've been this is the only one where I had previously been - 52 years ago! While I lived in Denmark as a teenager I took a small bus tour from Denmark, through Germany, Austria and into Italy, to Venice. While the main things look …

The Final Train

On April 27, 2023April 27, 2023 By redpathateaseIn Italy2 Comments

When I was planning this trip and scoping out what we could manage to squeeze in to a two week period, I didn't realize it would entail 12 different train trips. We've managed to become quite adept at finding our way, with Silas frequently in the lead. Nice to see him so confident at his …

Bologna

On April 25, 2023April 25, 2023 By redpathateaseIn Italy2 Comments

After a great night's sleep, Gulgun and I awoke before the others so we quietly got dressed and headed downstairs for breakfast. A busy spot early on, but we were able to get some cappuccino and espresso, so we were happy. Soon enough Jayne and Silas joined us and we all ate. Silas was thrilled …

Train tales

On April 24, 2023April 24, 2023 By redpathateaseIn Italy5 Comments

Once again we were to be on the move. We arose early, packed up and with Jayne and Silas having gone out to quickly to pick up some cheese omelettes, we had an easy breakfast. We did our usual "stoner" check to ensure we left nothing behind and locked up. Heading out wasn't that easy …

Manarola

On April 23, 2023April 23, 2023 By redpathateaseIn Italy2 Comments

Today was our one full day in Cinque Terre, in the second of the five towns as you come from the south, Manarola. Reputedly one of the most picturesque. As we didn't go to the other towns, I'll go along with the idea that it is the best. We slept in for a lazy start …

Pisa

On April 23, 2023April 23, 2023 By redpathateaseIn Italy3 Comments

After a good night's sleep we all managed to get up and moving. Jayne was kind enough to go down the hill to find breakfast food for us. Silas demonstrated that he's learned how to make scrambled eggs! So that along with some croissants and coffee and we were good to go, but not before …

Cinque Terre

On April 21, 2023April 21, 2023 By redpathateaseIn Italy1 Comment

Our last morning in Florence. We got up to have our morning breakfast, with Jayne and I looking forward to our coffee and Silas to his cold milk. He says his milk is like coffee for us. We got our things together and went downstairs to check out and put our bags in their storage …

Boboli Gardens

On April 20, 2023April 20, 2023 By redpathateaseIn Italy7 Comments

We opted for an easy day so we could let our tired boy catch up on his sleep. We all slept in then went down for a late breakfast. And of all things, as I was at the coffee machine a woman approached and asked, "Do you come from Westin?" Of all the small world …

Galleria Dell’ Accademia

On April 19, 2023April 19, 2023 By redpathateaseIn Italy3 Comments

Today we had a leisurely start, sleeping in a bit then heading downstairs for breakfast. Our biggest task there was trying to figure out the coffee / espresso machines to get our morning dose of caffeine. Prior to travelling to Italy I had pre booked a number of entry tickets to essentially "skip the line". …
