My venture

Another great lunch....this time in Monepulciano on a Sunday. Mom and dad had already been to this quaint little place and they said that they thouroughly enjoyed it, in fact, they had been there twice and both times they really enjoyed it.....so....we thought, why not go there all together....for a Sunday lunch....the name of the place ristorante degli archi. We arrived, of course we had made a reservation, and Sofia's seat was ready...with colourful plastic knife, fork, spoon and a cup....how cute....she was very excited to play with her cuttlery....hahaha. So for starters there was some sharing going on....kim and i shared the asparagus in a tartufo cream with an egg....Mutti, mom and dad a cold meat and cheese platter and a caprese, eva and felix the tomato brushetta....and wow, the asparagus was absoloutely phenomenal. In all honesty, i had no idea what to expect...but what arrived, was definitely unexpected, but it was just wow. I tried some of the cold platter and caprese, ...

Another day in paradise....it started off with exploring some motorbike and some bicycle shops for some gear....like jackets, helmets, pants etc.....after that...time to explore Arezzo a little bit...there were 8 and Sofia with us, so we all split a little bit into smaller groups...easier to shop that way...hahaha....kim, sofia and i walked to the main piazza to look at some possibilities for lunch and we did find one that looked amazing and of course it also helped when they mentioned that they had a baby chair for Sofia and of course that they had space outside. Have a squizz at the piazza.... Main piazza Church on the piazza Our restaurant on the piazza After our reservation, we strolled a little bit around...and guess what....kim saw that they had guiness beer on draft...so guess what....aperitivo time..... Irish pub Me having campari Guiness and Campari Sofia having a good time Sofia unpacking her pram After that...time to meet everyone for lunch....the menu looked very int...

Another new city.....the old part is small...but quaint and worth a visit if you have some extra time.....i definitely recommend seeing Montepulciano, Montalcino, Cortona before....but as i said if you have extra time....why not discover something different...it is also not part of the Tuscany anymore....anyway...moving on.....once we arrived we had to park all the way at the bottom of the hill but no problem...cause there were escalators all the way leading you into the old town....perfetto. Just outside the old town We walked though the main street...and there were A LOT of chocolate stores....guess why...well, the famous Baci chocolate comes from Perugia...if you are not sure what i am talking about...here is a picture... Baci chocolate In fact...talking about the chocolate, you can also visit the factory in Perugia, which is definitely something i would like to do...another time though....first time...visit the actual old town....it also has a huge university...known for learnin...

Un altro giorno...this time....we decided to go to Cortona....what made us decide to go there...well, i saw some shoes there that i wanted to get...so we decided why not make a lunch out of it...after all, Cortono is about a 40min drive.... Sofia on the way to Cortona My shoes....the brand is...Nero Giardini....beautiful shoes...i was debating quite a bit...and in the end i chose these... My NeroGiardini shoes My shoes encora One can wear them with jeans, a short skirt, shorts....etc etc....anyway....moving on....we of course walked the streets a little bit....through the piazza.... Main piazza After that....time for lunch....at the entrance to the old town, there is a cute litte enoteca which we have been wanting to try....we all did not want a huge lunch...so an enoteca was the way to go...beautiful day...sit on the terrace on the couches...way to go (couches were the best option cause Sofia could play without us having to worry where she would crawl). Mom and i decided to share ...
