To land in Belgrade is not as to set foot in an other European city. The people on the bus which brings to the center of the Serbian capital city have a dark look, it’s not full of that joy you usually feel coming back home. Bread and poor fried pastries are selled in little stands andContinua a leggere “In Belgrade the “good morning” lacks”

Athens: antiquity at your fingertips
To land in Athens airport during the morning (after a destroying sleepless night at Rome-Ciampino airport), allows not to waste a day travelling. The best way to reach the city center is bus X95, which for the fix price of 5€ brings you till the very central Syntagma square, where the Greek parliament stands. Here it isContinua a leggere “Athens: antiquity at your fingertips”
7 Countries in 30 days. Step 14: Lisbon (Portugal)
After 13 hours without sleeping on the night train because of the evil child (read here), the only good thing is to see Giacomo clapping the hands each time that the little ball of lard tries to close his eyes; a deserved revenge after the night we spent because of him. Today, to see Magui againContinua a leggere “7 Countries in 30 days. Step 14: Lisbon (Portugal)”
7 Countries in 30 days. Step 13: Bilbao (Spain)
The wonderful girl of Bilbao information office says that we commit a crime if we don’t visit Guggenheim Museum.

7 Paesi in 30 giorni. Tappa 13: Bilbao (Spagna)
La bellissima ragazza dell’ufficio informazioni di Bilbao ci dice che commettiamo un delitto a non visitare il Guggenheim Museum.

From San Sebastian we move to the second step in Basque Country: Bermeo. In this little fishing village on the ocean, Giacomo and I will be hosted by Izaskùn, a 39 y.o. woman who works as turist guide in Guernica.

7 Countries in 30 days. Step 11: San Sebastian (Spain)
Giacomo and I arrive in Irun, on the Spanish border with France, around 12pm. The 13 hours on the night train destroyed us. Although it is early August, clouds and a fine drizzle welcome us.

7 Countries in 30 days. Step 5: Antwerp (Belgium)
I say goodbye to Elisa and I try to find the Congolese quarter of Bruxelles, but I don’t find it. I leave for Antwerp. Upon my arrival, a slight drizzle welcomes me.
