The flowery Italian riviera

Saturday, 10 February, 2018, 7:10 PMItaly

The last days in Italy and its time to move on to the next country on the list - France. We have enjoyed the sunny days here on the "Riviera dei Fiori" in Sanremo and Ospedaletti. It looks like the spring is finally here ❤️

We have spent some lazy days by the van just enjoying the sun, together with some exploration of interesting places around us.

Coffee in the morning...

... and pizza in the evening ;)

Here comes the fun story behind this pizza:
Niklas went to buy this in a pizzeria nearby, he ordered a "margarita" to take away - he got a drink in his hand in a plastic cup...

A bit confused he stood there drinking it thinking that was nice of them giving him a drink just like that, while the people working there were like "😳what is he doing?"

After a few minutes he understood that they thought he wanted the drink "margarita", not a pizza, to take away...

some good laughs both for us and the staff 💜

Balestrino - abandoned ghost town in Italy

Thursday, 8 February, 2018, 3:43 PMMysteries, Italy

Balestrino, in Liguria, the Italian riviera is one of the most mysterious ghost towns of Italy. There is not much information about the history of this town and what happened when it was abandoned.

It's a medieval town from the 11th century and it's located by a village where people live side by side with this ghost town. From a cafe not more than 100 meters from the entrance to the abandoned town you have a great view of the old castle on the highest point, one of few buildings that still looks like its standing. The rest of the small houses and buildings have fallen apart and it sure looks risky to enter the town.

All the entrances is fenced to keep people out, either for the risk of getting things in your head if you enter or are they hiding something else? There is no way in, there are video cameras which monitors every step you take.

It is believed that the main reason the old town was abandoned was because of the earthquakes, in the 19th century there were a number of earthquakes that made the inhabitants to flee. In 1953 the last people left which made Balestrino the ghost town it is today with a mysterious and unknown history.

Pretend it's summer in portofino

Tuesday, 6 February, 2018, 5:46 PMItaly

We're in Italy after all, no matter the time of the year we always take a bath if there is water around.

Source error

This time, in the middle of the Italian winter, the water was brain freeze cold 🖤

But it looks pretty nice in the pictures right?! ☺️
