Hi folks,
Just returned from four weeks in Italy travelling around with husband,
Franklin. The middle two weeks we rented two villas - one in Umbria
about 10 miles out of Assisi in the hills, and one in Tuscany between
Lucca and Florence.
It was such fun shopping for provisions for the two weeks. After
sightseeing all day and walking our feet off, my relaxation was to get
in the kitchen and cook up a storm! The second villa we had friends
from NZ join us. I cooked all the dinners, Mary did the breakfasts.
The first week we spent in Rome and were given a list of restaurants
to visit from an Aussie friend who lived there for 10+ years. They
were all wonderful, simple and honest Roman food, and 'off the beaten
tourist track'.
The last week we visited Venice and Milan so restaurant choices were
'hit and miss' but really, we didn't have a bad meal all month.
Brilliant blue skies dogged us all April, turned out to be the warmest
April for 100 years!
Hope you enjoy looking at these pix. URL: http://community.webshots.com/user/bronwynferrier
