Posts from different places. Kept a journal when we went to Italy (thrice) and most recently Japan. Saturday, January 03, 2009. Interesting: you can’t use your cell phone in the train, subway or long distance, or in restaurants. And you can’t smoke on the streets, there are designated spots with haiku type messages (Not everything around the trees were petals, read one). Dust bins are not many but the roads are clean. Went out and found the way (not the middle path, ha! We saw them on the way. One of...

Posts from different places. Kept a journal when we went to Italy (thrice) and most recently Japan. Friday, October 21, 2005. Venice - A bridge too many. A 12-hour journey with a three hour stop-over plus another two hour flight in addition to an hour long waterbus ride begins with a single step, as the saying goes. Reached Venice, Marco Polo Airport sometime in the morning. The bags were wet from the rain. Picked up baggage, located the Ali Laguna booth, bought a waterbus ticket to Arsenale vapo...Mario...

Posts from different places: ITALY THIRD TIME AROUND

Posts from different places. Kept a journal when we went to Italy (thrice) and most recently Japan. Wednesday, February 21, 2007. ITALY THIRD TIME AROUND. Francesca, at the reception, checked us in. (Had to lug the bags up a flight of stairs though.) The room was by far the biggest we’ve had anywhere in Italy so far with a good sized toilet. Went to a restaurant next door for breakfast, then went walking around town. Past the ever-present Piaza Venezia (photo! After saying Buon Natale! A 30 odd minute wa...

Posts from different places: Prague, our new favourite city.
http://guruwanders.blogspot.com/2010/11/prague-our-new-favourite-city.html
Posts from different places. Kept a journal when we went to Italy (thrice) and most recently Japan. Monday, November 29, 2010. Prague, our new favourite city. Milan Villach via Venice 21 Oct 2010. Among the shops closed are supermarkets and mini marts that sell water and other essentials, so had to buy a half a litre bottle for over 2 euros. Now on the way to Salzburg. The next day was Belevedere palace I think. Was ok, personally, didn't find it all that exciting. Walked over to the Imperial Pal...About...

Posts from different places. Kept a journal when we went to Italy (thrice) and most recently Japan. Monday, July 20, 2009. But you get to like Athens soon enough as you walk around its old streets in Plaka and Monsitiraki, visit its treasured Archealogical Museum, its Poet Sandalmaker in Psiri (just off the Flea Market in Monastiraki). Like most cities, you can cover Athens on foot but they do have an efficient and clean metro we were told but didn’t feel the need to take. The Poet Sandalmaker of Athens.
