sailing in italy 1-22 September
















The summer in Italy passed by so quickly that I didn't even manage to make any note. Just right now while I'm on the Londons tubes train can recall my memories
of one month ago. After 2 weeks of being in Poland I took the plane and landed in Rome, from where my friend drove me to Naples. As soon as I arrived I've spent a couple of nights at his girlfriend's place where she showed me around. This is not a first time I stayed in such a charismatic southern Italian city, but there is so much to see. Even if I wasn't in the best state of mind, I still managed to indulge my Italian experience with delicious napoletanian pizza (fratelli di buffala) and fantastic ice creams. Also 'il baba' is not too bad (liquored donaugh). As soon as we could, we moved by the signora ydra2 boat. And that was a pick point of my happiness. Beside of being grumpy and miserable on the land as soon as I jumped on board I felt lighter and relieved. All the worries were suddenly gone. We were sailing around Campania (Naples) and Latina (Rome) region. We didn't go so far but we stayed relaxed and easy in Ischia. After 2 weeks my parents arrived and we picked them up from Naples. We sailed together the whole night and half day to Ventotene. There is a festival every summer which lasts for 2 weeks and all habitants of the island (200) participate by organising all the attractions such as fireworks, balloons flights, life music concerts an so on. We took a part of it. Beside of that we used the canoa, swam a lot and have as usual fantastic meals. My parents were living their life dream, their honey moon after 40 years of marriage. We all had got great time even if we happened to be in the middle of storm at the end. But the sea sickness is a part of the sailing experience;). After my 3 weeks and my parents 1 week on boat we took the bus and traveled 5 hours from Naples to Lecce (Puglia) where I run the yoga and dance retreat....My patents are just wonderful, they adopt so easy to each circumstances. Either on the boat or during the yoga and dance retreat they just were perfect. Did everything according to the plan. Also my capitan, the best male friend ever took massively care of them and especially of me when I was in the middle of emotional rollercoster....
