Rare cruisemom42 Posted May 2, 2022 #27 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Just barely managed to stay awake for the show (flew in yesterday from LHR). It was worth it. I appreciated his references to Hemingway both in regards to Harry's Bar and the duck hunting. For anyone who hasn't read the Hemingway book set in Venice, I recommend it (Across the River and Through the Trees) -- start is a bit slow but it builds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought of Venice and duck. As for the spritz - I heard of using Aperol or Select. In researching, I also saw Cynar mentioned. Anyone try that?? it's artichoke liquor!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the spritz with Campari. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe @euro cruiserwill remember this -- I think it was the two of us off on a daytrip outside Naples, waiting at a dusty, small train station (near Pozzuoli?) where there was a dusty small bar with an oddly vegetal selection of digestives. Cynar was one of them, but there were another couple of odd ones as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro cruiser Posted May 3, 2022 #33 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I remember the day and the station (it was the Fusaro one near Baia) but not the digestives. Sounds like a good thing to forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
