78.Amsterdam photo diary.



























At the begging of April Marta and I went to visit Amsterdam for three days! We stayed at the Room Mate Aitana Hotel that we really suggest you: it's been built recently, it's clean, modern, very comfortable and just 10-15 minutes far from the train station and the main places of the city by walk! All the entire experience in town was really a city crush! We felt in love immediately with the view: every house is so cute and characteristic and OMG all those bridges..magical!! One thing has really impressed us: everyone in Amsterdam looks relaxed and happy, maybe it's because of the bikes ahah I don't know but it was contagious :-) 
We found a lot of vintage shops in which we spent a substantial part of our time, we recommend absolutely: Episode that has two locations in the city and it's very equipped. Seriously it was a perfect sisters trip!! 
We were just a little bit disappointed by the Van Gogh Museum because we thought we would have found more paintings of the artist, but probably some were temporarily out, lent to other museums. 
What I loved most was to stay sitting outside in one of the many cool bar just watching around cool people… Oh yes Amsterdam is such a cool city and it would be great living there, maybe in the future who knows?
As you can see in the pictures our outfit were quite dedicated to keep warm and comfortable that means: pants, sweater, coat, a small bag and of course Nike shoes :-)
These are some pics of our travel, stay tuned for other ones about flower market or about bikes.

76.Italian heritage in Caserta.







Last week I went to Naples with my boyfriend a couple of days (as you could see on my IG profile): one we visited the city and the other one we moved to Caserta to see the famous Reggia. What impressed me most was the big size of the place, I mean the size of the palace that was I think bigger than the French Versailles Palace and most of all the length of the park: it takes 3,5 kilometers from the entrance of the palace until the end of the garden (where there's me in the pic). It was so suggestive and such an amazing experience and we couldn't do without walking for all the way of the park, so we took a walk of more than 7 kilometers in that magic sunny day. Even if the Versailles Palace will always remain a gorgeous place often bounded to a lot of fairytales, the "Reggia of Caserta" deserves to be visited once because it belongs to the wonderful Italian heritage we have the luck to own in our country.

75.The Venice Friday
















Two Fridays ago I took advantage of the sunny weather to go to the beautiful Venice! When I arrived I went immediately to visit the Peggy Guggenheim Collection so I luckily avoided the long queue:) Actually I've already seen it one time before but it's always something special, I'm in love with that place, with the paintings, the garden and the magic atmosphere..I always dream about living in such a beautiful house!! Right now I'm planning to read her biography for more inspiration:)
The lunch was great: we had fried fresh fish and white wine sitting in a fascinating small square next to the Rialto Bridge and after it I obviously found time for a quick shopping tour..there's always time for it!! :)
Such a great day I should go to Venice more often!
