A few of the places I’ve taken my teacup may have not been recognisable to some of you. But this one will be. After all, how can you not recognise the greatest architectural stuff-ups of all time? The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of Italy’s most iconic landmarks, for all…
In a couple of weeks, the Cinque Terre will be a mad house. But for now, these five little villages on Italy’s coast are somewhat accessible – without the craziness of peak season. With my teacup in tow, I explored Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso. Riomaggiore was…
