Sirmione is a fortified town that juts out onto Lake Garda on the Sirmio Peninsula. Having never been to Sirmione even though it is a mere two hours away, and trying to travel a little more closer to home these days, we decided to pay a visit. We mainly wanted to see the Grotto of […]
Wine Wednesday: Dinner Amongst the Vines at Lake Garda
I was absolutely starving. We had been wandering around the Roman Ruins and lakeside town of Sirmione all day in the heat. Every restaurant menu in Sirmione featured fish and seafood, presumably not fresh from the lake since I’ve never heard of a lake squid, at nearly triple the price I’ve seen anywhere else in […]
Gromo Medieval Fair
One of our favorite ways to explore Italy is by car. Though there is a pretty good train infrastructure in Italy, we find it is usually more expensive to travel longer distances by train for two people and the train just doesn’t afford us the freedom to get off-the-tourist-path like a car does. As we […]
Cascate del Serio: Italy’s Highest Waterfall
We’ve lived in Italy for a little more than four years now and we still have so much of it to discover. While admittedly we’re a little worn out on just walking around old cities, we’ve turned our focus to much more adventure travel around Italy like exploring Italy’s many caves, camping, and long distance […]
12 Spectacular Rooms With a View
Rooms with a view are ones you want to hang out spending time in. Think dreamy over water bungalows you can dive right in to the ocean from and stunning castles surrounded by dreamy countryside. We’ve certainly stayed in our share, and we’re always searching for more spectacular rooms with a view. But for now, […]
The Sex and the City Tour of NYC
Carrie Bradshaw said to Mr. Big, “You’re the Chrysler Building!” New York would be naked without it glistening in the skyline, and HBO sure felt naked to me after Sex and the City aired its’ final episode in 2004. I had devoured the shoes, the fashion, and the locations week after week for six years. […]
Sipping Amarone at Fratelli Vogadori
Fratelli Vogadori is a small family-run winery in Negrar in the heart of the Valpolicella. Three brothers, Alberto, Gaetano and Emanuele, work together to produce wonderful wines and olive oil from their land. They are the third generation running this picturesque winery. The Fratelli brothers’ hospitality began before we even set foot in their […]
The Curse of Castello di Miramare
With a commanding presence over the Gulf of Trieste in the Friuli Venezia Giulia, Castello di Miramare (or the Castle of Miramare) is majestic. Growing up, I used to pretend my house was a castle and as I begrudgingly did chores like the dishes, I would imagine I was Cinderella. Castello di Miramare practically fit […]
Tips for Photographing the Northern Lights
Mysterious and elusive, the Northern Lights are one of the most spectacular natural shows on earth. With senior NASA scientists predicting the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, will be the best in a decade as the sun reaches its solar maximum in its 11-year cycle, more and more people are booking trips to the Arctic […]
Pula Arena
There’s a reason Edward Gibbon’s The Decline and the Fall of the Roman Empire is the size of a telephone book. The Roman Empire stretched for 2,750,000 square kilometers in its’ height. To put that in perspective, the Roman Empire covered an area of what is today 53 countries, from Russia in Europe to Morocco […]
