I actually was back a few days ago. Italy was amazing, and way more than I have ever expected it to be.
I’m sure many of you have seen pictures of Florence (which is beautiful), Rome (gorgeous) but for me the highlight of the trip was the beautiful little seaside town called Positano.
It’s like a pastel-coloured dream.
Even the skies seemed to be coloured more brilliantly in that part of the world.
There was a strong Moroccan influence in the clothing and the architecture. This building looks like a mosque.

the place is very hilly and the roads are narrow, with steps everywhere made of cobblestone (wish I took a picture to capture that!)
All in all it was a good break coupled with some time for much-needed quiet reflection. More on that later perhaps. A bittersweet way to part with 2011 and work out my direction for 2012.
