We’ve gone food shopping in Anzio and came back with some dee-licious treats for our lunch on the terrazza. Our hotel is the perfect place to enjoy this meal with a view of Roman Emperor Nero’s private beach and harbor, and with foot traffic below. We were fortunate to find Pecorino wine for $2Euro a liter!

Billy is on our hotel room balcony on a rainy morning to show you the whitecaps on the Tyrrhenian Sea. You are looking at Roman Emperor Nero’s private beach and his own harbor. Our balcony allowed us to watch the action below, especially on busy weekends and holidays.

We are back in Anzio, Italy, where Roman Emperor Nero had his private villa and harbor. It’s also where Anzio’s Landing took place in WWII. This was Italy’s comparable D-Day battle which was overlooked by the newspapers. You’ll also see swimmers and beach walkers.

Billy walks along the sidewalk in Anzio viewing the Tyrrhenian sea and the many sun umbrellas staked into the sand. Families enjoy this beach due to the manmade water breaks that keep the waves to the seashore mild. Billy tells you of 2 encounters with the airline security who wanted to take our immersion water heater and eventually took our electrical tape. So that’s why we are replacing it now.

Billy takes you on a walk through the Sicily-Rome American Cemetery and Memorial in Nettuno, Italy. This Memorial commemorates those who fought and died to liberate Rome from fascism. WWII was waged on land, on sea and in the air for approximately 6 years. It was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind.

Akaisha is on the beach this lovely morning in Anzio, Italy. Here you see some of the ruins of Roman Emperor Nero’s Villa as vacationers take a dip in the Tyrrhenian Sea. This is also the location of Anzio’s Landing in WWII, comparable to Normandy’s D-Day landing in France. The buildings on the coast were bombed out during the war, and had to be rebuilt. Take a look!

Billy is taking this video from out in the Tyrrhenian Sea, a part of the Mediterranean Sea on the southern coast of Italy. The town is Anzio, where Roman Emperor Nero had his villa and also where WWII’s Anzio Landing took place. You can see some ruins of Nero’s villa, but the town – which was bombed terribly in WWII – has been rebuilt. Blue skies, blue water, Anzio is a lovely town to visit.

Billy shows you Roman Emperor Nero’s beach and park, Al Terzo Rooftop Bar and the beach where Anzio’s Landing happened in WWII. It’s early morning and this is the view from our hotel balcony.

Jim and Kathy McLeod sometimes go to Guadalajara, Mexico from Chapala to have medical tests done. They save a good deal of money by doing this (50%!!) and they show you how it’s done. Using Google Maps, and local buses to arrive to their location, they also describe how doctors and clinics use the popular app WhatsApp to give you your results. Then they take a breather at a hotel with a pool to reward themselves. What a life!!

We are in a bistro in Matera, Italy just across from the Church of the Purgatory. The façade of this church has some gruesome carvings – skulls, crossbones, and skeletons… Even though we came to this bistro every day for café and pastries, and happy hours in the evening, we don’t recall the name of the place. How awful of us! Enjoy people watching and we Cheers to you!

This is a very romantic view of The Sassi at night. In the background you will hear live music from a local musician which simply enriches the experience. People have lived in The Sassi village since the Old Stone Age and there wasn’t running water or electricity for centuries. In the 1950s, residents of The Sassi were removed from their ancestral home by the Italian government and the town was renovated. Now, there is running water, electric lights, restaurants and hotels. Enjoy this whimsical view of an ancient town from high on a bluff.

Matera is a tourist destination due to The Sassi – which is a must see. However, the weekends are PACKED and if you want a quieter experience, visit during the week. We sit at “our” café/restaurant and people-watch as hordes of tourists pass by.

We walk through several areas of the cave village of Sassi, in Matera, Italy. You see beautiful renovated cave dwellings that are now restaurants, shops and BnB’s. There is a foot race in the middle of our meanderings with people running to some destination within the town. And you are able to appreciate the many levels this village has been built on. The beauty of The Sassi is captured in the morning light.

Billy shows you the Sassi as the sun sets over Matera, Italy. Sassi is the oldest continuous human settlement in the world, dating back to the Paleolithic era. In recent history, the poorest residents of Matera lived there with no running water. At one point it was “the shame” of Italy, but then the government re-housed the residents and in the 1980s it was renovated.
