Welcome to Vibo Marina.

My dream has become a realty, real possibility to go to live and work in Calabria, at least for some months. What can be more perfect for me? Jumping around like a crazy child, who has been just gifted something, she has desired for more time. Now, finally she has it! Finally I can go on my own to discover this place that has taken, practically has stolen my heart...

Bus trip began! Yes, I went with a bus from Bologna to Calabria! Almost 1000 kilometres! 13 hours of sitting! To be honest I did not feel tired, just excited. Yes-yes, even 13 hour bus ride can be exciting! The time past so fast, listening old ladies to chat... I arrived to my destination as if I would have flewn...
Before my departure I was asked often, if I was sure of my desicion to go there... I couldn't think nothing to go wrong. Naive of me, but still. I wear still pink glasses. 
"Calabria is one particular place where things just go wrong, if you want it or not. Things just happen to go in its way, usually unexpectedly wrong..." I was told. 
I decided not to listen. Anyway, I had made up my mind, and nobody couldn't have talked me out of it. 
"Calabria... mia cara Calabria, I'll arrive finally!" I thought...
On my first day of arrival I was shown the city around. Beautiful. Small. What I liked the most, there I had a possibility to go around WALKING! Not in every little city in Calabria it is possible. They usually "kill" you with their fantastic driving skills. 
Pavements! 
"I adore this city already..." I thought. "At least I can walk!"
My first days there I was more than happy, even if something bad happened, I would have seen it through my pink glasses. 
City where I resided is called Vibo Marina. From there you can easily go to most famous cities for tourist, like Pizzo and Tropea, not to forget to mention Capo Vaticano. The last is one of my favorites. The sea there, is marvellious. 
I had another surprise to know that very near to my house, nearly 3 kilometres, was the trainstation, another "juhhuuu" jump, is not so common in Calabria to find trainstation that REALLY functions. Oh why? Because they have their cars, much more comfortable to go around, no scheduals to follow, no stinky and dirty seats, oh well if your car is dirty is only yours to solve, no complaining. 
But I really enjoy taking a train from Vibo to Reggio Calabria. The view is unforgottable. You can see the tyrhhenian coast, a view that takes your breath away. 
"Perfect," I thought. "I already like this city!"
And I really did. Comfortable. Important things for me were near. Interesting. I was just so ready for my adventure.
