Cathedral of Palermo

Aided by a good offer, I popped in Palermo and surroundings (Cefalù, Trapani and Erice, but I will talk about further!).

I've been lucky, why were the last days (between late May and early June) before the arrival of an oppressive heat on the peninsula, and I assure you that visit Sicily with 35 ° and high humidity, It is something I would not wish even to my worst enemy. 🙂

The city of Palermo, “second” capital Kingdom of the Two Sicilies after Naples, He is experiencing, just as the latter, a phase “rebirth”, with associations which work on the territory, redevelopment e is sparse, recovery of degraded areas (come la Vuccirìa, which plays the dual role of the market and, in the weekend, nightlife center of Palermo).

some, He suffers from deficiencies in terms of street sweeping and public transport (especially in recent times) and, with 1.3 million tourists, It not yet has been able to enter fully into the “Grand Tour” tourism in Italy, but it has a artistic heritage of the highest level, yet to be discovered.

A mix of dominations probably unique in Italy (Norman, car), It meant that we were allowed to beautiful testimonies, in the rest of Italy, it is impossible to find, or almost. …Read the rest »

not, there'll put pictures “american cookies” with an angry face to be more sympathetic or “sugar the pill”, as these days are making many bloggers, thong thong, write articles on “cookie law all’italiana” with the sole purpose of receiving organic traffic, but does not propose any solution, and do nothing but plagiarized the usual hackneyed, or defer to the usual services pay, as well as write misstatements, proving he does not even give a quick read the rules.

Although not a lawyer (I challenge many lawyers, non-experts, to fully understand the abortion that was produced), preferring to trust myself that not the first stranger who writes on the web, I tried to understand what was written in the provision of’8 May 2014 in materia di cookie e privacy, It came into force on 2 June 2015. I do not guarantee to be able to understand perfectly the norm, but I have an idea.

In essence: must ask for your consent before (First, not after, as they are doing some users, adopting methods used in other countries!) install cookies that are not purely of “session”. …Read the rest »

Walking among the colleges of Oxford

Say Oxford, and think exterminated campus universitari, frequented by people that (at least until a few years ago) They had a number of names and titles of honor longer than the end credits of a movie, Think of rowers who are preparing to defy Cambridge, Think of Harry Potter (Remember the refectory? nursing? And the staircases where kids are welcomed to Hogwarts? All of which are located in Oxford).

and, all this, it is only just over 1 and now… 1 sterling from London!
Even I was surprised but I'm, thanks to the usual site Megabus (that you be blessed for your cut-rate in North America), you can buy, with due advance, tickets for buses and trains in Britain. …Read the rest »

A station located near the Imperial War Museum

A bike sharing station, vicino all’Imperial War Museum

I had visited London already some times (some time ago I wrote articles on two of the itineraries I followed), though, I confess, I had a little problem: unlike other cities, my little orientation it's bad!

If they asked me how to get from A to B, I would have simply said, take metro X from station A, and get off at stop B. Simple and clean. 🙂

Always use the subway only, however, makes us miss an interesting piece of visit, and that allows us to understand the city better where we are, or also discover hidden corners.

So, I decided to visit London for 3 dayI (dedicating others 2 days in Oxford and Stonehenge / Salisbury, which I will write about in another post), using only the bike, without *MORE* take the subway, *MORE* use the’Oyster Card, * taking * A one time one of the iconic red buses in London. …Read the rest »
