Those two dishes are omnipresent where we live, so really really no point coming all the way to Italy and then eat that standard fare… PISA and Luca The towns are pleasantly small, have plenty of sights and yes, we did… Continue reading Pisa ohne Pizza
Another Volcano ?? – YES YES Mount Pinatubo…
the plan ohhh lucky me… whilst taking a lunch break during work, I casually asked a friend whether “doing Pinatubo” over the weekend is an option and yes – a decision was taken quickly.
