With a long time between trips to Rome we found ourselves revisiting the big sites, but this time we wanted to discover what to do in budget Rome off the Beaten Track. This was when we found the Rome Riones of Aventino, Testaccio and Ostiense. Aventino, the hilly suburb overlooking Rome is quite well known …

They say that central Rome’s favourite green market Campo de Fiori market Rome was so named because the site was once a Roman meadow. Fiori is Italian for flowers, and the name roughly translates to Field of Flowers, but although there were flowers for sale at the market, I got the feeling it’s prime purpose …

Updated May 2018. Positano and the Amalfi Coast had rain forecast but after four beautiful sunny days in Rome we were remaining positive.  As it was the forecasters were right and it did rain, but the sun did shine a little also. The Amalfi Coast of Italy is gorgeous and Positano is quite possibly the …

We have arrived back in Australia after ten weeks travelling Europe on a budget.

The old district of Trapani Sicily juts out into the Mediterranean on a small peninsula, a situation not unlike Ortigia and Syracuse.  By the time our introductory walking tour was over (the first thing to do in a new destination) I had fallen for this unpretentious town with it’s old buildings, lively bars, beautiful doors, …

Sometimes we find ourselves visiting less well known sights in lieu of the big name places.  In Salerno, Italy, we toyed with the idea of visiting Herculaneum (Ercolano) instead of the Roman Ruins at Pompeii. But Pompei won the day. Everyone from shop keepers to travellers are commenting on the amount of Australians in Italy at …

Our alarm rang at the totally un-Roman time of 6 a.m. with the Taxi arriving promptly 50 minutes later.  A sleepy blanket hung over the city as we said our farewells. From the rooftop of the apartment where we stood with our Airbnb host, we could look north to the dome of St. Peters Basilica, …

They say it is not possible to love both Florence and Siena!  From our farmhouse in the south of Tuscany, Siena was the closest and most obvious day trip so we were about to put that theory to the test. HISTORY OF SIENA In 1554 The Duchy of Florence defeated the Republic of Siena after …
