an Italian escape

I just got back from a two week tour of Italy, which was not nearly long enough - but when is it ever?
The trip covered so much of this gorgeous country that I am still processing it in my mind and trying to remember as much as possible.  I was lucky enough to visit most of the big cities, and a lot of the small picturesque villages and towns in between.

The stunning Trevi fountain.
I got to visit this twice, including early in the morning where the crowds
were minimal and access was easy - so lucky.


This gorgeous view down the Tiber River towards St Peters.


My first gelato (limone) came Papal endorsed!


Antipasto plates were consistently more-ish throughout my trip.


The Colosseum is amazing in scope and scale.


The stunning isle of Capri turned on an equally stunning day 
of weather for my visit there.


Here's the list that I can remember…
Rome
Sorrento
Positano
Capri
Pompeii
Assisi
Classe
Venice
Verona
Varese
Milan
all 3 big lakes: Garda, Como, Maggore
Pisa
Florence
San Gimignano
Siena
I think that's all of them, but I can't wait to review my notes to double check.

Now that I'm back home - and nearly in this home time zone - I'm looking forward to getting ready for this weekend's markets.

Saturday 30th November, 9am-4pm at the Made By Me Market in Warrnambool


Sunday 1st December, 10am-4pm at the Piccadilly Market in Geelong

Hope to see you at either one - come and say g'day, or bongiorno  :)
