Tiny San Marino

Destinations Europe Italy

“It’s not enough to imagine it. Come and live it.” A bold statement from such a tiny country, don’t you think? The Republic of San Marino is actually the 5th smallest country in the world. Can you tell the first 4 without using Google? 😉 Anyway, we are talking about a pocket state here, entirely surrounded by Italy, located on a mountain with killer views of Italian landscape and Adriatic Sea. We visited San Marino in the end of April, during our road trip to Italian region Umbria. At first, our plan was only to stay there for a couple of hours but the atmosphere of San Marino old town was so pleasant that we decided to spend the night. So, let me tell you in short “how to visit San Marino”, including tips for those who are traveling with a dog.

Ugriz stenice: kaj pa zdaj?

Slovenski kotiček

Zadnje tedne se na veliko piše, da so stenice na Hrvaškem. Žal lahko temu pritrdim, saj sem bila tudi sama žrtev teh odurnih krvosesov. In žal so bile posledice veliko hujše, kot pri večini primerov. Sem namreč (uradno diagnosticirano) alergična na vse živo in moje telo se je očitno odločilo, da mi bo življenje zakompliciralo na čim več načinov. V stilu »če že toliko potuje, naj vsaj trpi«. In čeprav sem ugriz stenice doživela tudi v ZDA (torej stenice niso samo hrvaška posebnost), takrat reakcija ni bila niti približno tako burna kot sedaj. Več o mojem nesrečnem primeru si lahko preberite tukaj, v nadaljevanju pa bom opisala postopek zdravljenja oziroma kaj storiti, če te ugrizne stenica.

Lovely Cambodia

Asia Destinations

Oh, lovely Cambodia, where do I start? First, I need to say that Cambodia was never on my bucket list. At least until last year when a couple of friends told me about Angkor temples. It took me just a few clicks to realize I needed to see this UNESCO heritage site ASAP. The only question left was: what else to do in Cambodia for one week. Digging deeper for things to do in Cambodia I found a piece of paradise just a short flight away. The island of Koh Rong Sanloem seemed like a perfect choice to escape the European winter and extend Cambodian adventure.

Hotel review: Hotel La Grotta (San Marino)

Europe Hotel reviews Italy

We visited San Marino in the end of April during our Umbria road trip. Hesitating between booking a hotel in San Marino old town – where the offer is limited and the prices are higher – and cheaper options “outside the wall”, we decided to go for the first one. We wanted to enjoy the old town to the fullest, waking up just a step away from what we wanted to see. And have a bottle of wine without arguing who will drive back. Hotel La Grotta seemed a good place to stay in San Marino old town, offering a good combination of what we were looking for: good rates, reasonable price, pets welcome and good breakfast. If you don’t have an account at Booking.com yet, you can sign in and book through this link  to get 15€ off your booking.
