Snow, snow. Quick, quick snow

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

It’s a strange thing with some Italian delivery drivers. Give them clear skies and warm sunshine and they’ll find endless excuses for ignoring you.

At the moment, four big dark brown heaps are sitting in the sun. Walk past and you get a rich and fruity scent – rather like a good Christmas pudding.

A Day Out in Rome

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

The only way you’re going to spend a day out in Rome – and have enough time there to enjoy it – is to go by coach.

Di Fonzo Autolinee run a terrific service from nearby Lanciano to the Tiburtina bus station just outside Rome’s centre. Catch the 8am service and you’ll arrive at 11am. A 100m walk to the Tiburtina metro station and you can be at the Vatican; the Colosseum; or the Spanish Steps about 20 minutes later. It’s a no-brainer.
