The zoo of Melbourne
One of the first things I have visited here in Melbourne, is the zoo . I wanted to see kangaroos so badly that It was ok for me to see them in a cage (I know, It’ s so sad) . Una delle prime cose che ho visitato a Melbourne, è stato lo zoo . La mia priorità era vedere i canguri ed ero disposta a vederli anche se non nel loro habitat naturale (lo so, è triste) . You are not supposed to touch them but everyone was padding them and They looked quite happy around people ! In teoria non si dovrebbe toccarli, ma quasi tutti li accarezzavano e loro sembravano contenti di stare intorno alle persone ! The zoo […]
Sintra
Ok, here’s the thing about Sintra : I found out about this wonderful place looking at my Spanish host mum’s pictures (thanks again Marta). I saw the beautiful colours of the buildings and thought ” I MUST GO THERE”. I was very excited about It but….apparently I wasn’t supposed to see the bright colours 🙁 infact I visited Sintra on a very FOGGY DAY! (I was so mad!!!). Not only It was foggy but It was also raining! Allora, ecco la storia su Sintra: non sapevo dell’esistenza di questo meraviglioso posto finchè non ho visto le foto della mia host mamma spagnola (GRAZIE Marta) , appena ho messo gli occhi sui colori brillanti dei palazzi ho pensato “DEVO ANDARCI”. Bè… a quanto pare non […]
GREAT OCEAN ROAD
The Great Ocean Road is a MUST if You’ re in Victoria . It offers outstanding views, wonderful beaches and the chance to see wild koalas and wallabies . It’ s a great experience expecially if You decide to do a tour like I did. You meet new people, You have fun, You learn about other cultures, You realize how personable people can be . A group of strangers share a great experience and eventually they will become good friends. La Great Ocean Road è un MUST se vi trovate nel Victoria . Offre bellissimi paesaggi, spiagge stupende e la possibilità di vedere koala e wallaby nel loro habitat naturale . E’ un’ esperienza che raccomando soprattutto se si decide di andare con un tour […]
Porto, the birthplace of Port wine – Porto, la città dove viene prodotto il celebre vino Porto
I went to Porto by bus, I left Ourense (Galicia) quite early in the morning, about 5 am , I then stopped in Vigo to wait for the other bus and eventually got to Porto by 10.30 am. I was so excited, It was a beautiful day and I remember feeling very happy. I was on my own and I was ok, I just loved taking pictures and looking at everything. Sono andata a Porto in autobus, ho lasciato Ourense(Galizia) la mattina presto, più o meno alle 5 e mi sono poi fermata a Vigo per aspettare un altro bus. Alle 10.30 ero già a Porto e ricordo che ero felicissima, la giornata era stupenda e il sole brillava. Ero sola ma mi sentivo bene, […]
LISBON
I love Portugal, It is one of my favourite countries so far . I like It because everything is very small : no big cities, no big parks, all the places are super cute and people are very friendly . Plus the food is very good. I’ ve always wanted to hire a car and travel across the whole country , I haven’ t done It yet but I got the chance to visit Porto, Sintra and Lisboa and I absolutely loved them! Amo il Portogallo, è uno dei miei paesi preferiti fino ad ora . Mi piace perchè è piccolo, le città non sono immense, i quartieri non sono enormi e l’ atmosfera è accogliente, inoltre le persone sono davvero simpatiche. Dettaglio importante: il cibo è buonissimo […]
Oviedo, such a Cider paradise – Oviedo, il paradiso della Sidra
Oviedo is the capital principality of Asturia in northern Spain . I spent just 2 days in the city and I feel like I should go back to live the atmosphere better. I felt the same way I did in Santiago de Compostela. They’re both charming cities, full of history and very alive. I use the word “alive” because there’s no way You can be bored when You ‘re visiting them. There are a lot of people drinking on the street, nice parks where You can have a walk, busy restaurants…. Oviedo è il capoluogo delle Asturie, nella Spagna settentrionale . Vi ho passato solamente due giorni e credo che vi tornerò per viverne meglio l’atmosfera. Credo che Oviedo sia molto simile a Santiago de Compostela, […]
