Mediterranean Cruise

Mare

It's sunny again after a stormy Sunday. So why not going cruising in the Mediterranean!
One of the biggest attractions of city of Savona is pleasure boating. Here we go.

Would you like to get on a ship like this? You can cruise around the Mediterranean with it.

You can take Grande offerte in the autumn. Check them out with Costa Crociere, a cruise company which manages the passenger terminal in the port of Savona, or with Corsica Ferries.

Place of departure: Savona. A few words about it.

Happily situated between mountains and sea, divided into old and new city, Savona is part of Liguria Region and the inviting Riviera. Its cruise port, Savona Vado, was expanded in 2008 with a new quay.



One of the symbols of the city is a clock tower which stands at the Old Dock. It is called Torre Leon Pancaldo after the ship navigator. However, the locals just call it "Torretta" - little tower in Italian.

No grief and no moaning over the passing summer. The autumn is also intriguing and the sea appealing.

Peperoncino - The Chili Peper

Exercise Yourself
Called viagra naturale (it undoubtedly owes it to its shape),
His Majesty the Peperoncino is very popular in the country of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Christopher Columbus. The later first brought it here from the New World.

Peperoncino Rosso Piccante: put it in a salad, soup, spaghetti, sauce for pasta and fish. As you wish. In any case you can use it for tomato salad and sauce.

I am astonished by the wide variety of peperoncino they have. And I was truly astounded, stuck and dazed by the unthinkable degree at which one of these was hot and chili. It was my deception to put a generous amount of it in a dish and thus, I sent my boyfriend into genuine amazement.

So beware of the type and the quantity of the spice in a place like

Italia where you can see even chili peppers made of plastic and displayed in bookstores as decoration.

So, as I said before, you can prepare a tomato salad with it (originally from Sicily). Ingredients:

Tomatoes
Peperoncino ,

Aglio e Olio (NOT spaghetti)
Croutons
Salt

Be bold.

The Mare & The Whales

Mare   Amare

Let me tell you about a shore of a sea where whales mate in the summer. The breeding takes place in a region called Pelagos Sanctuary.

The Boats

The Fishermen

They are always there: alone, couples, partying. Fathers and sons.

The Mare & The Wave

                        

They say the sea becomes really stormy in the winter and therefore, raise dikes on the beach in October. I hope levees won't break. ☻

The Play

You can go for a whale watching trip in the summer between July and early September. You can go for a scuba-dive, it's quite deep.

Locals will tell you about an idle beach on the opposite coast against Bergeggi Island where the road leads to San Remo and you can go by bike enjoying the view.

You can fall in love like the bush above. 

Zebra Crossing Game

Other road safety rules:
If you are a motorcyclist, especially in Napoli (Naples), then beware not to use your helmet!... Otherwise you might be shot for the only reason some people there might think you are hiding who you are... A warning said by Italians with laughter.

Pesto - Original Recipe

Exercise yourself

This is what an Italian chef describes as the only true pesto recipe:

1. Take a bunch of basil, a bushy one.
2. Basil leaves must be dry, not wet, before preparation or they will become dark.

Attenizone: Small leaves means more flavorous leaves. What's more, the best basil grows in the region of Liguria.

Savona, Liguria, Italia

2. You also need: garlic, pine nuts, and extra virgin olive oil.

3. Mix them all in a blender. Run the blender with frequent stops or the basil leaves will darken again.

P.S. Regularly do exercises J

Amo te... oggi e per sempre

Amare

A friend of mine once told me that visiting Italy is the same as to go to a theater. In the beginning, everything is strange, overwhelming, scary, new, exciting. So many emotions!

After you

I came to Italy led by il mio Amore.

Italia... 

Love is everywhere in the air. A Polish guy told us it was easier to make babies there than in other places in the world...

...to which Italians usually exclaim "This is Italia!"
