    ... for the second gent.
    The paramedics patted him a lot too. It seemed to comfort him.
    They loaded him into the back. He was talking voluably, waving his hands about, so I think he'll live.
    I really wanted to take a photo of him being loaded, but it seemed a bit off.
    The young helpers wheeled his vespa away.
    I continued on my way.
    Just a couple of bingles in Livorno.
    No need to take it too seriously.

  • So this is Miramare! - Livorno
    So this is Miramare!
    by craic
    Bought a ticket at a news stand. In Livorno it is a bit less than 1 euro for 60 minutes. I waited at the bus stop for the first bus that came along.
    Realised I was standing on the wrong side of the road.
    Crossed the road, yelping with fear at the way the drivers don't slow down, or seem to see you, but just dodge you at the last moment.
    The bus to Miramare came along.
    I got on the bus and stamped my ticket in the machine.
    And this is where I ended up.
    There was a little cafe so I went in for a snack.
    There was only a case of rather tired looking food. No menu.
    The guy looked embarrassed when I didn't like the look of anything. Italians take such pride in their jobs. They are easily shamed.
    So I picked the least unsavoury looking thing and asked for it - caldo.
    Thinking that might cheer it up a bit.
    He got it in his tongs and said - No caldo. Soft. Soft. Look.
    It was just edible. The coffee was good though.
    And there I was at Miramare.

    Feet boldy going where they
    have never gone before
    by craic
    I took my shoes off and put the feet into the Mediterranean for the very first time!
    They appreciated it very much indeed.
    Because, oh, how my feet suffered in Italy.
    Take at least one other pair of feet with you because you will walk and walk and walk until the feet tell you to stop.
    Stop, Jen. Stop right now. I can't do it anymore.
    Then I went up the track again because the people obviously think it is their private beach. Difficult track, stony shore. If I hadn't spotted the hunk in speedos I would never have known about it.

    Hey the red building u see on the right, used to be a fortress in ancient times to defend Livorno by the invasors
    nowadays there is a park inside the fortress and it hosts a music festival with punk-hardcord-rock bands during the whole summer
    it's a great atmoshere inside, nice people, very laid back

    there's no place in Livorno for snobs!

    Livorno is a perfect city to live in Italy.
    It has a very good climate the whole year round, something like Los Angeles, it's on the beach but it's also very close to the mountains (2 hours drive) and very close to important cities like Pisa ( 20minutes by car or train), Florence (50 minutes by car or train), Siena (40 minutes by car), San Gimignano and so on
    Most young people, like me, usually go snowboarding on these mountains, they usually get a lot of snow and there are even snowparks

    Would u ever think this is Toscany, Italy?

    well, this is Livorno, the coolest city for young people to live in Italy I guess

    there is no other place where people are open-minded , against ***head Berlusconi and friendly, but mostly people in Livorno won't speak behind your back!

    this is another beach where I usually go with my boyfriend's dog
    it's 15 minutes north of Livorno, half beach belongs to Pisa, half to Livorno.
    I don't like the sea here, it's not clear cos of the currents and the nearby industrial port, but it's good for strolls

  • The Old Fortress, a grandiose five-sided complex, built to protect the port, is one of the most important monuments from the period of Medici urbanization. It was designed by Sangallo the Younger. Included within the pre-existing structure were the Mastio di Matilde (a large tower from the 11th century) and the Quadratura of the Pisans (a fortress from the 1300’s built by the Pisan Republic).

    This is a rocky beach where i sometimes go to eat a sandwich in the evening during the summer or spring
    it's pretty relaxing, there are paths all along these little bays where u can walk or run, it's just 5 minutes from downtown and 5 from where i live, so pretty good location.
