Gest Post: City Walk in Christchurch

Gest Post: City Walk in Christchurch
It looks to me that 2014 is a year of guest posts. Courtesy of Michael and Marlys from travel blog Easy Hiker another one was published.  This is a very interesting blog focused on short walks around big cities and also in countryside, coastal grounds and parks. I enjoy reading all posts but my favorite one was telling a story of Charles Dickens and his walks around London. I find it really fascinating and also useful. Next time ... Read more

Christchurch: reloaded

Christchurch: reloaded
What you see when you come to the city center in Christchurch? Ruins. Lots of empty slots. Huge cranes and trucks. Ongoing construction. All what the city needs to recreate itself. Despite this, I enjoyed my stay in Christchurch for couple of reasons: lovely weather, interesting spots, freedom of movement by bike, staying for longer than one day at the same place, and meetings with people. One of the best meetings during these few ... Read more

Ravenna Gallery

Ravenna Gallery
Here are photos taken in Ravenna. I found this town truly fascinating. Despite the crowd of tourists it is still worthy to visit. I fully agree with the arguments by UNESCO: A unique collection of early Christian mosaics and monuments show great artistic skill, including a wonderful blend of Graeco-Roman tradition, Christian iconography and oriental and Western styles. There is no other place like this. You just need to see it one ... Read more

Perugia & Umbria Gallery

Perugia & Umbria Gallery
As much as Tuscany in one of the most frequently visited Italian regions Umbria is much less so. Although there are many similarities between these two Umbria gets less attention and less traffic. And it makes Umbria really intriguing. Finding information on main cities of the region (Perugia, Spoleto, Norcia or Assisi) is simple so let me skip this part. Why I think Umbria is so intriguing? Let me put it this way: For me the ... Read more

Why Ravenna Is Fascinating?

Why Ravenna Is Fascinating?
This was my second time in Ravenna and I would go there again, if I had an opportunity. Although this is not a top 5 or even 10 tourist destination this town is still relatively full of tourists. Why? Because it is fascinating. I see at least one big reason for that: ART. The transition If you’re interested in history of European art, at least a bit, it is very likely you studied it one style after another, chronologically. ... Read more

How To Visit Rome And Not Run Mad
Who has not seen the movie with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck from 1953? I am pretty sure that even if you haven’t you know all about it. This is one of the movie that makes people want to travel, see the filming location or even try to drive a scooter. This is somehow my own story as I am a big fan of this movie and I dreamed about visiting Rome ever since. How on earth Rome can be off the beaten path destination?! This is ... Read more

4 Seasons in Ferrara. My story.

4 Seasons in Ferrara. My story.
If you read this blog regularly you have known that I am a big fan of the Italian city Ferrara. There are many reasons for that, including my personal story and lucky coincidence. I spent in this town many years. I saw it covered with snow, washed off by heavy rain, burnt with the summer sun and touched by the light spring breeze. This was truly fascinating to watch how this town evolve, react to the weather conditions, celebrate ... Read more
