TRAVEL PREPARATIONS When at the beginning of the year we had before us the calendar of this 2014, the first thing we did was start scribbling possible dates for the trips we had planned for this year. Once we marked the “long” trips that we would make this year, Peru and Iceland, we focused on the possible escapes that we could steal from the calendar.

This is one of the few times that in Italy we choose the train as a means of transport and we have to say that the official train website, the truth is that it has been quite intuitive, so looking for different options we find Go Euro which has allowed us to make the reservation of all the trains of Cinque Terre in just a few minutes in a very easy and intuitive way.

Our trip to Cinque Terre took us back to a country like Italy, to which we try to return whenever we can. In this case we will do it to one of the areas that we most wanted to know, but to which we expected to have enough days to enjoy it in peace.

Albergo Etruria The first of the hotels in Tuscany in which we stayed was a hotel in the center of Volterra.
