Bye the way...ready steady...Welcome to London! Our travelers arrived on time, only because some traffic jam it took ages to snick through the city to our hotel before to head into town for a walking tour of bustling Covent Garden over Waterloo Bridge before arriving at a restaurant close to the Strand for a traditional dinner of fish and chips. It was soon time to go back into our hotel but not before to have a nice view of San Paul Cathedral and a stunning sunset from the millennium bridge…cradling gently before a good night for sweet dreams!

The pearls of Sicily Taormina & Eolie Islands

Day 7

Just the perfect day today, started with a warm and bright sun that gave the good morning to us and invited us to explore the lovely town of Taormina, where we had a 2 hour guided sight-seeing tour of the major historical attraction of the area. On top of that, the "crew" had more than 8 hours of free time, that they used in the best possible way: sunbathing on the beach and playing in the crystal clear water in front of Isola Bella, sitting at a bar savoring the best gelato or just doing some shopping in the little alleys of the town. It'll be our last day town, since tmrw morning we'll head towards the cape in the north coast to discover the Eolian Island, the first UNESCO natural heritage in Italy. Ready to boarding?

Day 5

Early morning we dock the port of Palermo and fall victim to its picturesque beauty, as pretty as a postcard. We board our bus and drive and pick up Laura, our upbeat tour guide for the morning. She take us up to Monreale where we learn about the mosaic remake of God creating man through genesis. We are then lead into another traffic jam before our lunch break. We hit the road for another two hour drive to the South coast to meet Luigi. We take a tour of the valley of the Temples where the perfectly built temple of Concordia was located and enjoyed the sunset. later we reach our hotel in Agrigento where we are reminded of America as we observe that a Mc Donalds is right next door. The group finally receives a good dinner. It turns a quiet night as the students find wi-fi and the adults remains over a couple of drinks. Buona notte!

Rome - Explorica

Day1 - Ciao there! After a long trip we are, finally, in town, the town "Caput Mundi" one!!!! The sun is shining the flight on time. What can we ask more? After a quick check in at the hotel we heading directly in the heart of the city. oh yes it's for real we are in Piazza di Spagna, a perfect auditorium for "people-watching" and for lunch. A "pizza al taglio" (slice of pizza) is a must here to get some energy for a nice sightseeing walk. Fontana di trevi is waiting for 23 coins to ensure the next visit in Rome but becareful, some of us where here already and after throwing the third coin it's possible to get married here so for now once is enough! The day is going to be a long one so even a good strong "espresso" with cream on top is a must to keep us on track to see the Phanteon, Piazza Navona, Piazza Venezia and all around.
