Trixie goes toTrentino

2011-08-24T17:34:00.011+02:00

My God if I needed a break!
After being on & off to London for months I eventually got to Tuscany for a short break and then joined my friends Alessia, Fabrizio, Alessia and la Cucci to Val di Sole.
Although I was craving to be get my claws to a mountain I couldn't resist to the snack jar on the table. Got some for the trip to the flying park and then to the amazing Lago dei Caprioli .

Too short staying but enjoyed a LOT company and sights. Not to mention Tortei de Patate...

Trixie goes to Malta - text only - pics in the previous post

2010-06-15T13:06:00.005+02:00

Jeez! this bloody Blogger is a complete disaster!
Ok, pics are in the previous post and comments are here and there.
sorry about that..

Following post pictures are:

My room in Sliema, amazing old-buses in Valletta(they look like Cuban ones, don't they?!), the last day with PA&Domingo&Chicca in Medina.
Still in Medina..amd Medina again..
My room, well the second one I had after complaining about the previous one..
In my rooom writing complaints to the hotel staff.
Too many complaints, I need a drink!
Trying to hang up in the bus but apparently it wasn't designed for tiny dolls.
Bus 652 at Golden Bay.
Vallletta.
Sliema, etc...

I am sorry but this site is a mess to post and the page layout is a real nightmare! Will do better next time, promised. (Blogspot sucks!)

Trixie goes to Malta

2010-06-15T10:49:00.037+02:00

Eh yep. My friends Carlo and Betta got married in her native Malta and PA took me with him on this short trip. Lot of fun, drinks, V&T, milkshakes, sea, beaches, but mostly happy friends.
The hotel PA booked looked nice but had few things I'd like to discuss with the staff. Nothing that a Bombay Sapphire couldn't solve anyway.
Enjoy pics and go CarloBettas!

.

And thats' it. Pics are not in a chronological order but, you know, I feel quite tired..
See you next time.

Trixie goes to Japan for Xmas

2009-01-06T22:10:00.003+01:00

Hello again guys, it's been long time since i posted last time, the fact is that, after lot of trips with my owner and friend Pier Andrea, he gave me some time off and sent me to spend few months around the world with a friend.

But anyway.

I just came back from a trip to Japan with PA; he took me around and showed me so many amazing places.

We were based in Tochigi area but we went to Nikko for Christmas and to Tokyo for a couple of days.

It was an amazing trip and I had so much fun, you should go there, I am planning to do so..

Here's Toshogu Shrine, a place in Nikko to go and feel the spirituality all over the place. I was lucky we had a guided tour with a priest who explained me so many things about this place and all details I wouldn't have known without. Such a lovely and freezing day.

..on my way..

..here I spent the night in this pension which had a traditional timber bathtub with hot water; it was snowing at night and ..ahem..fortunally no one was there to see me naked having a bath openair under the snow falling all over me..

..a nice day being driven after a nice sushi lunch..

..thanks GPS, very useful..

..a nice day spent at FKD playing drums; I was quite good actually...

..and ending at the cinema..

..on the Bullet Train (Shinkansen) to Tokyo..

..Pachinko in Ebisu after a heavenly sushi lunch at Matsuei..

..in Shibuya at night looking for a L hotel..

..in Ginza for a short tour..

..and drink..

..ahhh...

...back to Tochigi I was quite sleepy, you can tell from my eyes..

..and new years' traditional Osechi box, yummies, plenty of meanings and very nice to see..

..well, that's it guys, I hope it's not gonna take another year to post my new trip.

That one was amazing and I'll go again shortly.

See you next time.

Trixie goes to Barbados

2007-08-14T21:47:00.000+02:00

Well, at a certain point I started feeling so wet in London and realized to need a change of air. Why not Caribbean? Yes, sure, why not! So I spent one week reading, sunbathing, swimming and having the most lovely seafood ever. Believe me it worthed it, and me too...

Trixie goes to Paris (for a short break)

2007-07-21T12:33:00.000+02:00

Hello folks!
On my way back to London decided to stop about one night in Paris to see my friends Bianca, Carla and Kristen. We were supposed to go to have dinner at Bistrot des Dames but was busy so we had a delicious dinner as well dans le 17ème arrondissement.
I love Paris and spent about half an hour on Pont des Arts seated enjoying the sunset and the view. I promise myself I will be back again for longer so a bientôt!

Trixie goes to Barcelona

2007-06-13T14:37:00.000+02:00

Hola todos,
it was quite hot in Rome but cloudy as well so decided to have a trip to Barcelona.
Rambla, Pinxos, Cerveza, nice people all around.
Went to Gio's house, a new friend of mine living there and soon leaving for a world trip so, I believe I will be around the world soon as well...
So much tanned right now, and back to Rome.
Bcn was really stunning!
hay que guai....

Trixie goes to Milan

2007-05-05T11:53:00.000+02:00

There you go, my friends.
After few globetrotting decided to stay in Rome for a while before Easter but then my friend Justine invited me for a short trip to Milan where she lives. Just the time of putting some clean pants and a toothbrush and we were on the train to Milan eating pizza al taglio e suppli (which off Rome are easy to find as the the Holy Grail is).
Spent lovely days in Milan having aperitivo in Navigli aerea or hangin out to see il Duomo.
I decided to leave as soon as their dog, Valda, started looking at me as a suppli; timing is everything.
Thanks Igy, see you around.

Trixie goes to Japan

2007-03-19T00:08:00.000+01:00

..and eventually my meimei Liz took me to take a little taste of a proper sushi; a small step from China but a huge one from the one I used to have anywhere else.
Even in London i didn't have something like it.
Simply gorgeous!
I saved some experiences as Karaoke or Kyoto for next trip, there's lot more to do here.
I believe I will keep travelling but a pit-stop in Rome it's a need I can't avoid now.
In serious need of warm, embracing, homecountry, nice food my stomach can recognize, and see some old friends for some chat.
Thinking about Mixie in Argentina, now, wandering what how is she doing...

Trixie goes to Serbia

2007-01-10T11:53:00.000+01:00

Hi guys,
This year I wanted to celebrate Xmas in a different way.
My friend Jasna invited me to her hometown, Novi Sad, in Serbia, to have some trekking on mountains (Fruska Gora & Zlatibor) she loves so much.
I discovered they celebrate Xmas on 7th of January so, this year I had a double Xmas (but not double presents...), also discovered about a celebration Serbs have: it's is called Slava.
It is the 20th of December and another friend of mine told me half Serbs celebrate this while the other half visit who celebrate this.
In particular, she also told me, it seems that children, the night before Slava, use to clean all family shoes so the very next day they find them filled with sweets. Very nice.
Being a globetrotter brings you closer and closer to all other cultures, I love it!

Not sure about trekking, maybe I'd better biking.

Ok, and trekking will be.

I knew I would get in some troubles...

HeeeEEELP !!

So windy I needed to fasten seat belts.

On the bus to Novi Sad

Xmas cake!

Trixie goes to San Francisco

2006-12-05T10:36:00.000+01:00

So,hello everybody.
I just came back from a thanksgiving break in San Francisco with my friends Robin and Jessica.
Had a lovely time there and spent most of it in the holiday cottage just in front of the Pacific Ocean Jessica's family rented for the whole family, watching the sunset. What an amazing view.
Actually I use to travel with my own box but enjoyed as well American king sized beds.
Here are few pictures, hope you like it!

Here I am on my way from the airport..

..at Golden Gate...

..Thanksgiving...

..Pacific sunset..

..Landed.

This is my other sister, Pixie.
She's the "punk" part of the family, we rarely meet and when we do it's just for shopping.
