Arrivederci Roma!

Arrivederci Roma!

Dear all,
we had a wonderful time in beautiful Italy but now it's time for us to say Goodbye as we are transfered to Peru.
I'm writing this with mixed feelings, I'm sad to leave Rome but looking forward for new and exciting challenges in Lima.
Anyhow, we will continue our journey with culinary, styling and travel adventures from a new city in a new continent.
I will be back with a new  post in about 2 weeks , until then - take care.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon :)
Here is a little "Best Of" from our stay in Bella Italia, hope you enjoy it!
 An incredible variety of chilies in all shapes and with striking colors at display at a roman market.

Evening light at Ponte Milvio

Roman Broccoli
If there is a  beauty queen amongst winter vegetables the title would certainly go to the exotic and elegant looking roman broccoli.


 A Lion Fountain dating back to roman times and still working and watching over the city.


 Solving the parking problem, eternal as the city, a la romana.



Breakfast at my "little bar at the corner".


Packing..... our apartment in total chaos!

 At the Flower Market, combining flowers and vegetables  in  beauitful compositions.

  1. It'll be hard to leave Rome, I'm sure - such a great city! But Peru sounds so interesting (I've never been, but would like to someday). Look forward to hearing about your new adventures!

  2. I would love to go to Rome. It's a city with not only so much history but such great food. I hope you enjoy your time in Lima. My husband's parents have lived in South America for many years. They have traveled to Lima but not lived there - they've just had a lot of robberies there! Good luck! xx

  4. Happy New Year Daniela! It'll be very hard to leave Rome once I get a chance to visit...especially food is wonderful! I have lots of expat friends here and their moving is like crazy, but I'm sort of jealous to live in different countries too. Well, I love Peruvian food and look forward to your future posts! :) Take good care!

    1. Thank you Nami,Happy New Year for you as well!
      Of course it's not easy to leave a place like Rome,but we are more than happy to go to Peru, a fascinating and interesting country. And -you are right -the food is absolutely delicious. They have quite a variety of fusion between Peruvian and Japanese dishes. I´ll write more about it in my next postings.

    Looking forward to see exciting posting from you in Peru.
