Keats House Rome

A delayed post from a visit to Rome in May. Keats house is a subtle tourist destination right next to the spanish steps. The writer died here at the young age of 25 and the house still contains the bed where he passed away. 

Despite being in the heart of central Rome the house is very calm, quiet and cool. A little british sanctuary.

One Month Living in Sardinia

 

Rewind...... I took these pictures two summers ago when I lived in Sardinia for one month. The house was incredible with an roof top dining room, where we ate every meal and where I read or studied Italian and (attempted to learn) chinese. The sunsets were stunning and as the weeks went by I learnt about the different winds to hit the island. 

-Sirocco, a hot and originally dry wind, originating from African deserts 

-Mistral, a North-West wind. Along the coastal strips, protected by no mountains, the Maestrale has left indelible signs in the landscape. It eroded and modelled  the rocks, and deformed the trees. 

Sardinia was the last time I was in Italy and the end of working the Italian job. A very relaxing last month living la dolce vita. 

This week I also discovered this blog >> World Tour Stories >> amazing stories about a couple sailing around the world together. 

This time last year... Isola Rossa

I just came across some photos from last Easter, spent in Sardegna. They are very poor quality, but you can see how amazing the view is. My first time visiting and the weather was pretty poor, I have never posted Sardegna photos, which is a shame as it is one of the most beautiful places in Italy.

Whilst taking a little wonder we took a very wrong turn and found this lane which led a rubbish dump with a nice view and a tiny chapel that was ready to be cleaned.

After I had fully photographed the full array of 'Catholic Chic' we found ourselves in Marie Antionettes old pad, or so it seemed...

Bella Venezia . Beautiful Venice

Venice was truly the most beautiful place I have ever lived.

Nella Copula . In the Dome.

Sopra il Mondo . On top of the World

I am tempted to start a blog on simply tourist poses... Surely this is no.1?

Appia Antica . The Appian Way

A pretty perfect day, more like the Loire Valley in France than twenty minutes out of Rome.

A real shame that more wine went in the daisies than in the cups...
