Exploring Italy and San Marino
Today we spent the morning exploring old town Verona - coming across crowds for the first time since our stay here.

A Capital of Diversity
Berlin is a city with an interesting history and certainly one with a lot of stories to tell. After the erection of the Iron Curtain, and during of the Cold War, Berlin was the center of attention during and after the World Wars, (obviously it wasn’t a great tourist destination then with an attractive selling point at the time). However before the conundrum of world politics and crazy dictators, Germany’s capital offered a much vibrant bohemian … [Read more...]
