Snoop: Naples, Italy

I was not looking forward to Naples. I had heard about how it was a dangerous city. It was lunch time, and we were sick of eating on the ship. Then we decided to go to lunch at the place that originated pizza margherita, called Brandi. Sadly, it was closed, and we were not happy. Read More …

Snoop: Catania, Sicily

Today, I learned how to make Italian food from a chef named Lory. For the appetizer, we made ravioli stuffed with eggplant. Making the pasta and the filling were easy, but, trying to keep the filling inside of the pasta was really hard. Mine kept on exploding. For the side, we made a vegetable dish Read More …

Snoop: Valletta, Malta – Amorino Gelato

Posted onJuly 12, 2014May 10, 2015AuthorSnoopLeave a comment

Today, I had the best gelato ever. It was in Valletta, Malta, at a store called Amorino. I tried the dark chocolate, the vanilla, and the salted caramel. All of them were stellar, but Mom’s speculoos flavored ice cream stole the show. If I could go back to Amorino, I would get the dark chocolate, Read More …

Snoop: Ravenna

Ravenna is famous for its mosaics. They were completed almost 2000 years ago. We went to the San Vitale church, which is supposed to have the most beautiful mosaics. When we looked inside, most of the walls other than the main altar were stone. The altar was done beautifully with gold and blue tiles, and Read More …

Snoop: Bosnia

We wanted to go to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Sadly, our port was in Croatia, so to fix that problem, we drove for 2 hours to get to Bosnia. It was kind of strange to see so many buildings with giant bullet and bomb holes in them. The main thing we saw was the Mostar bridge. Read More …

Snoop: Kotor, Montenegro

The Kotor Church has had a hard life. It was made in the 800s, but it was destroyed by an earthquake in the 1500s. Later, people tried to fix it, but they did not have the funds to rebuild all of it, and that is why it has two mismatched towers. We had heard that Read More …

Snoop: Slovenia – Skocjan Caves

Today, we visited Koper, Slovenia. We drove up to Lake Bled which was really pretty. We rode down the scary toboggan track too. My favorite part of the day was visiting this huge cave system. I have never seen a drop like the Skocjan caves. When I walked into the caves, the air was musty, Read More …

Snoop: Gelato

Our favorite place for gelato in Venice is Grom. My favorite flavor is ExtraNoir, which is dark chocolate with cacao nibs. My father thought it went better with pistachio, and my mother thought it was better with passion fruit, but I liked it plain. We also liked the vanilla, the pistachio, and the crema. Of Read More …

Snoop: Kittens in Sorrento

Ruben is from Sorrento, Italy. He is 8 weeks old and we met him at our bed and breakfast. Ruben is by far my favorite cat. He is smaller than his brother, Kevin, but what he lacks in size, he gains in agility. Sadly, after he eats, all Ruben wants to do is sleep, but Read More …
