Sat one early morning, drinking my second cup of coffee, overlooking the English Garden. Prepared…read moremyself for a visit to the Villa Trabia, a few minutes away, having some expectations, as always. Went out, crossed the street, walked up to the gate of the villa. Not so much to expect, so far. No tourists, just a few locals having their morning run. Birds, though, plenty of them, singing and opening their wings in the breeze. Just a few steps and you experience a unique atmosphere. Once this garden had 2700 species. Today only 150 remains. But past and present can´t be separated - it´s all there. The grandeur, the greatness, is still present. Nothing is perfect, the decline can be seen everywhere, but beauty remains and the romantic impression is without sentimentality. The Villa Trabia holds an art library. A sweet lady showed me around. The house filled with students reading, listening to music, watching film videos - studying art, right in the eye of art itself. Sat down on a bench underneath a very big tree, talked to an engaged gardener, telling me the names of the trees. Flowers from one of them covered the ground. Left the Villa Trabia through another gate? Yes, I did. But not really. Still inside.

PARADISE FOUND We…read morearrived into town at the wrong time! It was 2pm and all of the restaurants were closed. Everyone went night night for the afternoon and the city looked like zombie land. We were starving. We literally ate 3 figs we had in our trunk and THEN decided to regroup. With our clear minds, we figured that the beach would have some food. We stumbled upon Lido Paradiso and we were in heaven. It was a beautiful beach facility with rocking music, a covered deck, beach chairs, cabanas and a self serve bar with food. We had no options for food except this one. There wasn't much food left in the glass counter. We wanted some rice balls but they were out of them. Our bartender told us we could only order what we saw. There was one slice of lasagna left and we ordered it. It was honestly one of the best lasagnas we ever had and I make a really good lasagna. The creaminess was incredible. Beach food is never this good anywhere except in Italy. I tried ordering tap beer and they were out of it. It makes me laugh because this wouldn't fly in the United States. We also got some bottled beers and a Fanta too. It was so nice to just sit on the beach with a cool breeze blowing. We stumbled upon paradise and I never want to go home again. Some of the best moments are unplanned.
