Voyage in Italy
Autor John Brooke, Sheena Brookeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 sep 2021
For the most part, we travel to arrive, but with the travels of the Sheena-Rosa, there is a fusion between travelling and arriving. Whether a few miles off-shore or harboured in a sheltered port, the experience is a continuum.
From the sea, one observes the land, its contours and its mountains - a view that has little changed from the landscape our ancestors would have seen. Then as we draw nearer, the features on this landscape appear, and the influence of man becomes more and more apparent.
We arrive on port and step onto the old stones, for the port is always the most ancient part of any coastal town. Our papers are checked and we are now part of this community.
The curious walk along the quay. Sometimes they chat. And we are also curious to discover the hidden gems which exist throughout this timeless Italy.
It is a mode of travel like none other.
