Sorano, the town we were staying in, was about 10 minutes away from one of our favorite towns during our trip, the charming wine town of Pitigliano. Pitigliano is famous for their wine and well known for their Bianco di Pitigliano. While we were …
Agriturismo Sant’Egle, Sorano
The farm address did not translate well into the gps, and we were led to the middle of no where. After circling for about 30 minutes, Steve pulled over and asked for directions in downtown Sorano. He walked into a local bar and Steve said no one …
7 Nights With No Plans
Wednesday August 29th, 2012 Steve and I left La Tavolozza around 8:30 am after a quick espresso and pastry and moto-ed back to Sorrento. We dropped off the moto and bought two tickets on a shuttle bus to Naples airport from the moto rental company. …
My Beloved Positano
We spent two nights in my beloved Positano exploring the town and beaches and had two great dinners. Our B&B was basically at the top of the town hill (just like in Manarola) and getting to the beaches, shops, and restaurants meant a hike down a …
Getting to Positano
On Monday the 27th, 2012 in the morning, we packed two backpacks and headed off to Positano on the moto. The main road we were going on forked, and I thought we needed to go left and Steve thought we needed to go right. Since Steve was driving of …
Down South to Sorrento
Saturday, 25th Ciao Florence! 330 Km/hr train speed, Jaguar limo to the hotel, and we’re definitely feelin’ the good travel life. If I see another sweaty redfaced American walking with a 50 pound backpack trying to find a hostel, I’m going to give up …
Florence Photos
If you want the best mix of big city life all packed into a small area with a huge splash of culture (biggest museums, beautiful duomos, huge piazzas, etc.) Florence is your best bet. The shopping here is unreal reminiscent of NYC and right next …

Best Pasta of My Life, Manarola
August 20, 2012, it seems like everyday in Italy I eat the best pasta I ever ate in my whole life. Several days down now and my pasta at Trattoria Dal Billy takes the cake so far. I had the lasagnette agli scampi made with fresh homemade pasta of …
Manarola, Quaint Fishing Town
We spend two nights in the quaint fishing town of Manarola. This part of the trip was our "roughing it" segment. Steve picked the cutest little (I mean little) room for us in an apartment on the hill where a local family rented out rooms called Casa …
