Adventures in Puglia Pt.2 -Birra e Sound


Some years ago, while vacationing in Italy, we heard a radio commercial and spontaneously drove to Leverano, to visit the italian version of the german beerfest. And we were absolutely wowed. So we planned our last summer vacation around that event. The first time we were so impressed by the setup and light installations and also the music acts and openair party made us dance. This time everything was a bit chaotic, but we still enjoyed it and it was no comparison to our german beerfest in our hometown.

Vor einigen Jahren waren wir das erste Mal auf der italienischen Bierbörse "Birra e Sound" und wir waren begeistert. Angefangen bei dem Aufbau der Stände und der Lichtinstallationen bis zu den Musikacts und der Openairparty, alles hat uns gefallen. Unseren letzten Sommerurlaub haben wir dann sozusagen um dieses Event organisiert, weil wir es einige Jahre nicht dorthin geschafft haben und unbedingt wieder hin wollten. Leider waren wir dieses Mal nicht mehr so hin und weg, denn irgendwie war alles viel chaotischer. Dennoch kann man es mit den deutschen Bierbörsen nicht vergleichen und wir hatten trotzdem unseren Spass.:)

Adventures in Puglia Pt 1


The most important components during my holidays are definitely these three: sightseeing, a beautiful and clear sea and an interesting nightlife. After we did a lot of sightseeing in Naples, we were ready for some chilling at the beach and parties. So we traveled to another region of Italy, Puglia and to the hometown of half of my family, Gallipoli, which is best known for their beaches and nightlife. And because I go there since I was little, it always feels like coming home. And one thing, we think about all year long, is the delicious fried fish and so we did this on our first night out. And with a full stomach we then went to the old town and drank some cocktail on the promenade.

Naples - Day 6 - Vesuvius

On our last day in Naples, we only put one activity on our scedule, which was the Vesuvius. To be honest, I wasn't really in the mood for that, and, above all, not at 30 degrees in the shade. But because my bf already wanted to visit the volcano on our first trip to Naples, but nobody wanted to come along, because we choose other sights to visit, this time I had to do him the favour. Fortunately there is a bus, which takes you quiet far up. Then there is a first rest area, half way up to the crater, where I almost wanted to give up and stay, and a second one at the crater. What it's definitely missing during the way up are shaded places and at some times I thought I would get a sunstroke, so I would suggest wearing a hat or bringing an umbrella with you. A lot to drink and comfortable shoes are essential. What we found very strange was, that we didn't have much time after arriving at the crater. We took some photos and then we really had to run down to catch the bus.

Naples - Day 5 - Shop & Eat

Before I get to the last day of our stay and to our last activity, the visit of Vesuvius, I have some pics I have to get rid of, which I shot during a shopping spree after we visited the Palazzo Reale. We rarely manage to do two sightseeing activities on one day, mainly because we always get up so late. (yes, we are definitely nightowls:) So after we did the sightseeing, we then often walk around and/or go shopping. Napoli is one of our favorite shopping cities, because you can not only find the big brands, but also many little shops with the newest fashion trends.

Naples - Day 5 - Palazzo Reale


Day 5 and after our failure the day before, we succeeded in visiting the Royal Palace. which is directly at the Piazza del Plebiscito. Of course the palace has it's own unique style, but for me it seemed a bit different in comparison to other baroque ones, because you can clearly see the spanish influence. But see for yourself.
