Only in retrospect did I realize that we actually spent most of our vacation in Calabria. Starting with Cosenza, the day in Paola, our stays in the Pollino and Sila National Parks, and our visits to San Giovanni in Fiore, Lorica, Tropea, Pizzo, and the caves of Zungri. From Bari to Cosenza We leave the port city of Bari and
Puglia – White Towns, Bread and James Bond For me, **Puglia** is all about the “white” towns of **Bari, Ostuni, Cisternino, Martina Franca**, and of course **Alberobello**.

And imagine you simply say “No.” You climb into an airplane that’s barely bigger than a cage made of metal and hope, and fly to where the maps are blank. This is the story of
On this long weekend for us, we’re visiting our neighbors: the Dutch. And as luck would have it, we arrive during the warmest and sunniest weekend of the year so far.
