What can I say? I sure am happy I decided to come here, although I can see many “Let’s get lost” occasions in my future.
Here is what my landlady left as a greeting. There are sfogliata in that parcel. Yum.
And, all I need to do is open the doors to the tiny balcony and there is the hubbub and colour of this ancient city. (I am grateful for double glazed windows, though.)
I may never return to Myrtleford!
Hurray! My own clothesline.
Right, off to do some exploring.
Hello World 
Lovely pictures, Yvonne. Thanks for sharing. 🙂 — Suzanne

It’s all a big jumble for me right now. Museums have free entry today, so I’m all in a dither trying to decide which one (or more) I’d like to visit, and my chances of being able to find them! I should do a Hansel and Gretel and drop little white pebbles, perhaps.

We can still be friends, but you may notice a touch of chilliness when I greet you. I’ll only kiss one cheek, not the other, for example.
Italy is not for everyone, but for those of us who are intelligent, discerning, beautiful, illustrious, it is paradise. That makes me wonder why I like it so much!

are you traveling by yourself Yvonne or with friends…I’ve always found that most people are friendly whenever I travel abroad…especially if I’m out and about by myself or even out with my aunt…the most “un-friendly” was a security guard at the Berlin airport when I was obviously looking lost and asked, in my best German, if perhaps he spoke english and he curtly told me no and kept walking…
Overall however, I always find folks all over the world are more kind than not 🙂
Safe and happy travels my friend 🙂

Yes, Napoli does that to one. See Naples first etc. Even so, I would not dismiss the delights of Australia. The Government in its infinite wisdom have just passed the tax cuts to businesses and will pay for it by cutting pensions and disability allowances.

Bella Napoli, love that place. When Dan and I were there would go to the same little spot for coffee in the morning. One morning a man pulled up on his vespa, and walked in with his helmet on that covered his entire face. The proprietor poured him a glass of prosecco, the man flipped open the little trap door, grabbed the glass and swigged it down in one sip! Put a euro on the bar, said “ciao” and went on his merry way. We still laugh about that !
You certainly have a front row seat Yvonne! Enjoy it all. xx

What a nice landlady! Sigh, now I am pining for Naples. Btw the square with 2 bars with good nibbles (and where I started the fight :-)) is Piazza S. Domenico Maggiore. There was a good cake shop there too, I seem to remember. The place with the fantastic sfogliatelle frolle was Sfogliatelle Attanasio Pasticceria just off Piazza Garibaldi.
