Postcard From Precious Porto Portugal ( 2 Thumbs Up )

August 22, 2019April 24, 2018 by kemkem

A Portugal postcard! We have run away to Porto Portugal and might never come back! This place is absolutely delightful. For me, Porto is all that was promised about Lisbon, only more so. We like Porto more than Lisbon for sure. It is smaller, but has more personality and did l mention the fact that …

Day Trip From Rome To Tivoli – Amazing Villa d’Este

A day trip from Rome to Tivoli is highly recommended. There is a reason why the Villa d’Este is on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list. Federico had visited once as young boy with his family and remembered it as being beautiful. I was curious to find out exactly what was so grand about it. Since we had just a little over two weeks to spare on our vacation, I made a point to include it on our itinerary.

Rome of course has plenty of wonderful, historic places to visit, like the Vatican, Piazza Navona and the Colosseum to name a few, but step just a bit of the city and you see that the countryside is not lacking in beauty either. I decided on a DIY day trip from Rome to Tivoli to see the awe inspiring Villa d’Este. I was not disappointed at all and l don’t think you will be either. Here is your Tivoli day trip itinerary.

Marseille fort in France on our Marseille Guide

Marseille should definitely be on your list of places to visit in France. We had so many people, some who hadn’t even been, (including friends who lived in Bordeaux at the time) try to convince us not to go. Too dirty, too gritty, too ethnic. The list went on and on. Thank goodness we didn’t listen.

We found Marseille beautiful, the people really nice, and the history fascinating. You shouldn’t listen to the naysayers either. I always find it better to experience places for yourself. For instance, I didn’t love Amsterdam, definitely not as l had expected based on what others had told me, including Federico who had been at least a couple of times prior, but l am certainly not going to dissuade you from visiting. I can only relay my experience. Here’s is a kick-ass guide to Marseille City France :-)…

Palace Of Parliament Bucharest Romania Tour

August 24, 2019January 21, 2018 by kemkem

The Palace of Parliament in Bucharest is definitely one of the places to visit on any trip to the capital city of Romania. It is one of our favorite memories. Granted, I was not impressed with the building from the outside. It is pretty imposing, and you almost get a sense of foreboding, thanks …
