    Amalfi, Campania.... “There’s nothing like a fountain and a magnum of French champagne to put you right again” - Under the Tuscan sun (film)

    Welcome to Episode #9 Amalfi, Campania......

    Travel Writer and Author Freya Stark once said, “To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world. You are surrounded by adventure. You have no idea of what is in store for you, but you will, if you are wise and know the art of travel, let yourself go on the stream of the unknown and accept whatever comes in the spirit in which the gods may offer it. For this reason your customary thoughts, all except the rarest of your friends, even most of your luggage - everything, in fact, which belongs to your everyday life, is merely a hindrance. The tourist travels in his own atmosphere like a snail in his shell and stands, as it were, on his own perambulating doorstep to look at the continents of the world. But if you discard all this, and sally forth with a leisurely and blank mind, there is no knowing what may not happen to you.”       
                                  From the Book - Baghdad Sketches: Journey’s Through Iraq


    Traveling from Siena to the village of Amalfi was quite a journey and a fresh chapter of my travels around Italy.  Amalfi is ancient, rugged, beautiful and fabulously itself.  I loved the bougainvillea cascading on faded architecture; the cacti and the palms and the baskets of lemons and ceramica on display in the village.  The days were a world away from my real life yet a delight to share and write about.

    Siena, Tuscany and the Adventure Continues..... “The Bees, you don’t bother them, they won’t bother you” (Stealing Beauty)

    Siena, Tuscany and the Adventure Continues..... “The Bees, you don’t bother them, they won’t bother you” (Stealing Beauty)

    Welcome to Episode #8  Siena, Tuscany

    Book Share: In the Shadow of a Cypress: An Italian Adventure. 

    Chapter 6 and the Italian Adventure continues.....After wonderful days exploring Florence and Fiesole to a sweet journey through the Tuscan Countryside to Siena by rail.

    Returning to Siena after many years it was wonderful to be sitting and sipping a cappuccino staring at the beauty of the Palazzo Pubblico on my first morning in the Centro Storico of this Unesco World Heritage medieval city.  

    Siena is an obvious choice if visiting Florence.  An hour and a half away on the train or by car through majestic countryside and you find yourself in a city like no other. Once upon a time it was a stop on the pilgrimage route as the pilgrims came from the south to Rome along the Via Francigena. 

    With its fan shaped piazza, Gothic Duomo, wonderfully dark secretive streets, the non stop celebrations of the Palio Race and the many Renaissance treasures there is much to discover and enjoy inside and outside of the medieval walls.
