Lady in the Five Lands
Blog: A Lady in London - 7 November 2009
Before starting at Brown I spent a semester learning French at a language school in Nice. The night before I left, my family went for dinner at an Italian trattoria where the owner came by to say hello.

From The Riviera to Århus and Back
Blog: Craigorio Does Italia - 23 August 2009
Okay. So I know its been about 5 weeks since I left the States and I that haven’t really posted anything on Florence so I’m going to accelerate this little journal of mine to quickly recap the rest of the weeks leading up to my arrival in Firenze. We left Rome on July 18th, robbed once, [...]

Vernazza, Italy
Blog: Patrick and Katrina do the Globe - 24 July 2009
Our most recent stop, Vernazza, is a small village on the Mediterranean coast of Italy. So small in fact that upon arrival we were told to check in at a local wine shop so they could telephone the owners of our inn, Giuliano and Michele, to show us the way to their place. Thus began our Cinque Terre adventure, waiting amidst limoncino (a local specialty) and wine bottles to meet our new hosts, and then to be led along a winding pathway up the hillside to reach Camere Giuliano. This home base became so much more than just a place to sleep at night during our stay.

Molto Bene (Part Due: The Search for the perfect Spiaggia)
Blog: Bec and John in the UK - 26 November 2008
After such an idyllic first day, we could probably be excused for thinking we would enjoy similar splendor on each subsequent day in "The Cinq". Unfortunately, though, our luck was about to run out. We woke the next day to a grey sky, a light, constant drizzle, and the discovery that there really isn't all that much to do in the Cinque Terre when it rains. There's eating, of course, but believe it or not, there is actually a limit to how many trattorias, ristorantes and pizzerias you can handle in one day!

Molto Bene (Part Uno)
Blog: Bec and John in the UK - 15 November 2008
It occurred to us early this year that despite having lived in Europe for ages, we hadn't been to Italy since 2003, when we whipped through as part of a breakneck European tour. We loved Italy then, and wanted to make sure they hadn't broken it since. When Stu confirmed that he'd be visiting again for another Euro-summer (you may remember him from such blogs as Glastonbury last year), with his new lady-friend Mandy, it was a perfect opportunity.

The Great Summer Adventure – Croatia, Italy and Monaco
Blog: MatthewGain.com - 17 July 2008
Well the tan may be fading – let’s face it what hope does a ginger have getting a true tan anyways – but the looking back at the pics makes me still feel like I am still there – handy given the shitty summer weather. Below are some of the top memories and great pictures. Trip details – Landed in Dubrovnik Croatia on 28 July and travelled north up the Adriatic Coast through Split, Hvar Island, Zadar, Rab Island and Opatija, before getting a ferry to Venice, Italy. From Venice we travelled by train to Cinque Terre and down to Monaco where I celebrated my birthday.
