Eating in Solerno

I still remember eating in this restaurant while visiting Salerno, Italy. While walking in the old town I saw the sign on the narrow street. The atmospheric inside a 12th century church establishment got my attention because of its unique interior, with the lighting and vault ceilings. I recommend Taverna Santa Maria De Donno (TDSDM). This is the second time I have written about this eatery.

A Schwerin Recharge

In case you live in Berlin but need a quick recharge away from the city, a recommendation, Schwerin, the capital of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. A quick two hour drive away from the German Capital, the mid-sized city moves at a relaxed pace.

A Trendy Little Street in CPH

Jaegerborggade, there is a name not easy on the tongue. The Copenhagen street located in Norrebro area of the Danish capital, at first did not strike a visitor as trendy. While looking for the sign I missed it completely, walking two full blocks before asking a person for directions. Jaegerborggade is a narrow residential thoroughfare lined with independent shops, cafes and bars. Talking to the locals, there is a real sense of community. Unlike generic shopping malls with their endless, at times numbing sameness, the stores offer original, unique pieces for shoppers that move from hat designs, jewel smiths and even bakeries making caramel treats. A good time to visit is doing one of the many open street fair events.

Confusion

What are the rules for traveling with a carry on luggage? “Confusion” is the word that comes to mind. Size limits on different carriers, hidden fees during check in mean more travel stress.

There is a sign of hope. The EU could enforce rules on airlines regarding hand luggage fees.

Naples Revisited

A recent article in The Guardian newspaper described Napes as “the city of imminent doom.” A place where cool books and tv shows are set. Agreed.

After my visit to the city in August 2021, in my opinion the Southern Italian city has an eccentric vibe. A place where everything past and present meet on the Mediterranean Sea. Walking around the city there are impressive architectural inspirations from various epochs of human history.

An Underrated Place to Go

Meissen, the Capital of Porcelain, is an underrated town. Located 25 miles from Dresden, the hilly, 11 centuries old Saxony German settlement proved me wrong, underrated came to mind. Why? I had little expectations for a day trip. With only 30,000 inhabitants, pleasant surprises come from small packages comes to mind, picturesque scenes, wine tasting and a bit of upscale shopping at the Meissen Shop.
