10 Weeks Let Us See The Adriatic coast of Italy Fall was a great time to head away for a brief gateway stop in London before spending 10 weeks heading down the Adriatic coast of Italy. We revisited favourite spots and discovered the Adriatic coast regions (Emilia Romagna, Abruzzo and Puglia). It was a long […]
From Sorrento to Arrivederci Roma We were leaving Sorrento after 3 weeks and were almost finished our 10 weeks in Italy! With an easy chauffeur driven limo ride from Sorrento to Naples, we caught our high speed train to Rome. We had avoided the crazy crowd at the train station […]
Finishing Our 10 Week Italy Trip in Serene Sorrento The trip from Matera to serene Sorrento was quicker and easier than I might have thought it would be. This time we opted to take a mix of local SP roads and the autoroute rather than meander from valley to peak […]
Day Trips From Sorrento Along The Amalfi Coast We spent the last 3 weeks of our 10 week trip to Italy in an apartment high over Sorrento. We had been to the Amalfi coast twice before so this was like coming home. We could alternate our lazy days with day […]
So Easy To Take The Water Along The Amalfi Coast By Boat During our 3 week stay in Sorrento in late October we had planned to rent a boat and tour the Amalfi Coast by boat. Wanting to re-visit our favourite seafood restaurant in the marina in Praiano, we thought […]

Finding A Swimming Hole in Puglia South Of Otranto Staying in Lecce for a week, we needed to head out if we wanted to find water and a swimming hole in Puglia! We had visited the town of Otranto to see the Cathedral but left drooling at the beautiful crystal […]
Day Trip To Visit the Otranto Crypt At our full day cooking course in Lecce, we were told not to miss a visit to Otranto while in Puglia with its infamous Cathedral sporting the skulls of 813 martyrs. We were on the road by 9am to make sure we hit the […]

This was the most well known and touristic town that showcased a whole village of little trulli […]
