<p><strong>La Reggia Designer Outlet</strong>, the fifth of McArthurGlen&#8217;s Italian designer discount outlet malls opened in <strong>February 2010</strong>. This is Phase I, with Phase II to follow.</p>
<p>The new Naples designer outlet is close to <strong>historic city of Caserta</strong> and the <strong>Amalfi Coast</strong> and is within easy reach of the A1 between Rome and Naples. The Outlet has over <strong>120 designer and famous brands</strong> at the normal <strong>discount </strong>rates available at McArthurGlen outlets.</p>
<h4>Local attractions</h4>
<p><strong>Naples</strong> is a fascinating city, rich in history, culture, art, gastronomy and tradition. Historic buildings, churches, streets, ancient fortresses, caves, castles in the sea and many other attractions will keep visitors very occupied in this city which UNESCO has listed as a <strong>World Heritage Site</strong> in 1995.</p>

<p>Naples is also <strong>Sophia Loren</strong> country.  As a child she grew up at her grandmother&#8217;s place close to Naples and up to this day she keeps a keen interest in developments of the region.  If you&#8217;re lucky you might see her in the region, which we very nearly did.</p>
<p>Also near La Reggia Outlet is the 18th-century <strong>Royal Palace of Caserta</strong>, the last great building of the <strong>Italian Baroque</strong> period. With 1,200 rooms decorated in various styles and 3.2 km of park, the Palace is a popular tourist attraction as well as a set location for many films, including Star Wars and Mission Impossible III.  The city of Caserta itself is a major business centre for national and international companies.</p>
<h4>Getting to La Reggia</h4>
<p>The Outlet, located in Marcianise in the province of Caserta, is easily reached along the highway that connects Naples to Rome.   The good news is that you can easily reach La Reggia Designer Outlet via a number of transport options.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Castel Romano Shuttle Bus Services:</h3>
<div id="attachment_706" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a class="highslide" onclick="function onclick() { return vz.expand(this) }" href="http://www.travelsignposts.com/Italy/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/castel-romano-shuttle_588.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-706" title="castel-romano-shuttle_588" src="http://www.travelsignposts.com/Italy/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/castel-romano-shuttle_588-300x201.jpg" alt="Castel Romano Shuttle Bus" width="300" height="201" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Castel Romano Shuttle Bus</p></div>
<p>Castel Romano is very popular with designer label junkies on their Rome holidays &#8211; and I admit to being one of them.  Whereas getting to Castel Romano was a bit of a struggle in the past, unless you were prepared to pay for expensive taxi fares or join a tour, the good news for shoppers is that there are now <strong>several shuttle bus options</strong> to get you there.</p>
<p>(Note: If you&#8217;re still hanging on to old advice about catching the Cotral bus from Laurentina Bus Station,<strong> you can no longer do this</strong>.  During our visit in September 2009,  the Cotral buses were no longer able to stop near the outlet due to road works in the Castel Romano region.)</p>
<h4>Shuttle Bus Service from Rome Termini Station</h4>
<p>There is now a <strong>daily </strong>shuttle bus service to the outlet, leaving from via Marsala, outside <strong>Rome Termini Station</strong>.</p>
<ul>
<li> If you’re arriving at Rome Termini Station by train, make your way to the via Marsala exit.  Turn left as you exit the station and walk about 250 metres.  The Shuttle Bus <strong>pick-up and drop-off point</strong> is just opposite the <strong>Automobile Club D’Italia</strong> at via Marsala 8.</li>
<li> If you’re not going through Termini Station, the nearest crossroads to look for are via Marsala and via Solferino.</li>
</ul>
<div class="adLargerect"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-1009507070974015";
/* Italy 300x250, created 27/04/09 */
google_ad_slot = "3509345562";
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_height = 250;
//-->

<script type="text/javascript"

</script></div>
<p>The outlet shuttle pickup/drop-off point share the same location as the shuttle bus services that go to Rome Fiumicino and Ciampino airports and there are other tour coaches parked here as well.  You’ll see a couple of guys selling tickets for the airport.</p>
<p>When we were there, there was no sign indicating that this was the designer outlet shuttle bus stop and an old sign was still standing at their previous location at via Cavour.  (<em>If things have changed, please drop me a line to let me know so that we can update our information.</em>)    The cheeky Indian ticket seller (who also sells tickets for the airport buses) reckons he can spot people who are looking to go to the outlet and he’ll seek you out.  You won’t miss the<strong> big red bus</strong> when it arrives as it’s branded with the Castel Romano logo.  In any case, just confirm with the ticket sellers that you are standing at the right spot.  Things change all the time.</p>
<p><strong>Cost of Shuttle Bus Ticket:</strong></p>
<p>The return fares are <strong>Euro 12</strong> per person (adults), Euro 6 for children (aged 14 – 17).  The journey takes about 45 minutes and you’re dropped off right at the outlet entrance. The shuttle ticket entitles you to a Privilege Card for the day which gives you a further 10% discount at certain shops. This however does not apply to items that are “on promotion” or “on sale”.</p>
<p>The Castel Romano shuttle bus certainly is a much easier way to get to the outlet and the return trip is just as easy as the bus will be at the same spot where you were dropped off on arrival.  Apart from the cost being half of that being charged by other providers, you also have more time at the outlet as there are a number of departure times from Castel Romano back to the city.</p>
<p>Departure times from Termini Station:</p>
<p>10:00<br />
12:30<br />
15:00<br />
18:45</p>
<p>Departure times from Castel Romano:</p>
<p>11:45<br />
13:45<br />
17:00<br />
20:00</p>
<h4>Other Shuttle Services</h4>
<p><strong>From your Rome Hotel</strong></p>
<p>If you prefer the convenience of being picked up from your Rome hotel, ask the concierge to ring +39 06 37350810 or +39 329 4317686 the day before your shopping trip to Castel Romano Designer Outlet, or in any event no later than 11 am on the day of the shopping trip.  The cost of this service is <strong>25 euros</strong> per person for a return ticket.</p>
<p><strong>Shuttle Service from Piazz Barberini</strong></p>
<p>To book this service call Castel Romano on +39 06 3234705 before 4 pm on the day before your shopping trip to the outlet.<br />
The cost of this service is <strong>21 euros</strong> per person for a round trip ticket.</p>
<p><strong>Timetable:</strong></p>
<p>From Monday to Thursday 2 trips per day:</p>
<p>- Departs from Piazza Barberini &#8211; 09:15 and 14:15 PM<br />
- Departs from Castel Romano Designer Outlet &#8211; 13:00 and 18:00</p>
<p>On Saturdays and Sundays there is only 1 trip per day:<br />
- Departs from Piazza Barberini departure &#8211; 09.15<br />
- Departs from Castel Romano Designer Outlet departure 13:00</p>

<p>A repeat of the <strong>Inspector Montalbano</strong> drama series is bringing back lots of great memories of our <strong>holiday in Sicily</strong>.</p>
<p>After the first series of Inspector Montalbano, we became huge fans of this Sicilian detective drama as it is so different to NYPD Blue or any of the other American cop shows.  We enjoy our weekly dose of the brooding <strong>Commissario Salvo Montalbano</strong>, a Vigata police inspector, assisted by his small band of detectives. Mimì, Fazio, Gallo, Galluzzo are members of the <strong>Vigata police force</strong>, with  varying degrees of competence, and there&#8217;s the clumsy Catarella who mans the station&#8217;s phones and who is incredibly dim yet likeable.</p>

<h4>More than a Cop Show</h4>
<p>We enjoy Inspector Montalbano, not just for <strong>Commissario Montalbano&#8217;s</strong> brilliant detective work and his great love of food, but the series always starts with a sweeping views of &#8216;<em>Vigata</em>&#8216;, &#8216;<em>Montelusa</em>&#8216;, &#8216;<em>Marinella</em>&#8216;, the Inspector&#8217;s house by the beach and the landmark lighthouse, all fictitious place names set on locations in the Province of Ragusa.  And when Salvo, Mimi, Fazio and the rest of the team set out to investigate crimes, we are taken through the streets of Ragusa.  So on our Sicilian holiday we went<strong> in search of Inspector Montalbano</strong> film locations.</p>
<p>The Montalbano series was shot in locations like <strong>Punta Secca, Marina di Ragusa, Scicli and Modica</strong>, all of which have enjoyed a boost in tourism since the making of Montalbano.  Tony and I are part of the tourism statistics.</p>
<div id="attachment_872" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 205px"><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://www.travelsignposts.com/Italy/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/dsc_2182.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-872" title="Montalbano's beachfront house in 'Marinella'" src="http://www.travelsignposts.com/Italy/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/dsc_2182-195x300.jpg" alt="Montalbano's beachfront house in 'Marinella'.." width="195" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Montalbano&#39;s beachfront house in &#39;Marinella&#39;..</p></div>
<p>From our hotel in <strong>Taomina</strong>, we drove down south to <strong>Syracuse </strong>and then west to Ragusa where we found &#8216;<em>Marinella</em>&#8216; and Montalbano&#8217;s house by the sea.   &#8216;<em>Marinella</em>&#8216; is really <strong>Punta Secca</strong>, a small fishing village in the Santa Croce Camerina comune. The village has a lighthouse, a small port and an old watchtower  (<em>Torre Scalambri</em>). The <strong>Punta Secca Lighthous</strong>e is the famous landmark that we see in each weekly series.</p>
<p>Nearby, we came across Caffetteria Montalbano, whose owner proudly shows us pictures of<strong> Luca Zingaretti</strong> in his caffetteria.</p>
<p>We then went in search of <strong>Palazzo Municipio</strong>, the Scicli Municipal Town Hall which was the set location for the Police Commissioner&#8217;s office and the Vigata police station.  The City of Scicli is about 25 km from Ragusa.  It is in the coastal hills of Modica and is part of the Val di Noto geographical region of the Province of Ragusa.</p>
<h4>At the Scicli Palazzo Municipio</h4>
<p>We made our way up the stairways in the Municipal office and were quite expecting at anytime to be told that we&#8217;re not allowed in the building.  We approached a serious looking, signora who was working at her desk.  We explained to her that we had come from Sydney, Australia to see the Police Commissioner&#8217;s office.  Whether she understood English or not, she didn&#8217;t say a word, but pointed us to a room and a police officer let us in.</p>
<p>Seeing the famous wall hanging and the desk, we knew we were in the right place. Ah triumph! We were quite surprised to be allowed into the mayor&#8217;s office and they didn&#8217;t even ask to see any identification.  We were given free reign to take snaps around the place and our friendly police officer even offered to take a shot of the two of us.</p>

<p>The <strong>Palazzo Municipio</strong> has acquired a considerable reputation of having become a film-set for the<strong> &#8220;Il Commissario Montalbano&#8221;</strong> television drama and I suppose they must be quite used to curious tourists who want to see the film-set.  And, come to think of it, in this part of the world they&#8217;d be more concerned about the mafia than terrorists.</p>
<p>We did a quick sightseeing walk around the city centre and then had to head back to Taomina.  Scicli is a <strong>World Heritage sight </strong>and there are lots of baroque churches, palaces and historical buildings to explore, not to mention the mysterious <strong>Donnafugata Castle</strong> (which in Italian means &#8220;kidnapped woman&#8221;) up on th hill.</p>

<strong>Phone numbers</strong> and <strong>phone codes</strong> in Italy are pretty easy to find online &#8211; and for free, mobile (cell) phones too (mobile phone numbers start with a 3, not zero). The <strong>telephone country calling code for Italy is 39</strong>. When calling abroad from Italy, the international call prefix is 00. Note that italian area phone codes always start with a zero even when dialled from abroad. Another thing to note is that with italian phone numbers you <strong>always </strong>have to dial the <strong>city code</strong> even if you&#8217;re in the same city. In Italy phone numbers are always listed as <em>City Code + Phone number</em>.</p>

<p>On our first night in Rome, we race off to our favourite restaurant on<strong> Campo dei Fiori</strong>.  After a few weeks on the road, a fix of good Italian food is much needed and at <strong>La Carbonara</strong>, we know that we&#8217;ll have a good meal.</p>
<p>I eagerly ask the waiter if they have <strong>funghi</strong> <strong>porcini </strong>and he points to the next table saying that the last serve has just gone to the people at that table. What a tragedy!  I couldn&#8217;t hide my disappointment &#8211; there didn&#8217;t even have a few slivers of it to put in my pasta.  The waiter quickly reassures me that we haven&#8217;t missed the <strong>porcini season</strong>.  It&#8217;s just that it&#8217;s Sunday, the markets are closed and they weren&#8217;t able to get more supplies.  He promises that when we return from our <strong>Cinque Terre</strong> trip, they&#8217;ll still have porcini.</p>
<p>So here I am again tonight on my mission to dine on this <strong>King of Mushrooms</strong>! For my <em>primi piati</em> I order <strong><em>linguine ai porcini</em></strong> and for my <em>secondi piati </em>I&#8217;m having <strong><em>porcini arrosto</em></strong>.  Tony tells me that it&#8217;s silly to  have porcini in both courses as there&#8217;s no contrast in flavours, but my waiter friend says that I&#8217;m not breaking any gastronomical codes and that it&#8217;s okay to have whatever I like.</p>

<p>I tuck into my porcini pasta, managing to splatter oil all over my blouse. The food is absolutely delicious and the <strong><em>linguine ai porcini</em></strong> takes care of my addictions on two fronts &#8211; my love of pasta as well as love of porcini.    The  <em>porcini arrosto</em> arrives and the heavenly aroma hits our brains.  On biting into the delectable mushrooms, the roasted flavours hit your palette first and it then gives way to an almost &#8216;creamy&#8217; texture on the inside. The fresh chargrilled porcini that we&#8217;ve been dreaming off since last season did not disappoint.</p>
<p>Was I crazy to have two porcini dishes, well actually no.  The porcini cooked in the pasta has a different flavour to the chargrilled porcini and besides it&#8217;s a long wait till the next porcini season.</p>
Did I leave anything out?

<div id="attachment_757" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://www.travelsignposts.com/Italy/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/train-tickets-italy_588.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-757" title="train-tickets-italy_588" src="http://www.travelsignposts.com/Italy/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/train-tickets-italy_588-300x204.jpg" alt="Trenitalia Cinque Terre tickets" width="300" height="204" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Trenitalia Cinque Terre tickets</p></div>
<h4>By Train:</h4>
<p>The regional train that serves the five villages runs between <strong>La Spezia Centrale</strong> and <strong>Sestri Levanti</strong> or <strong>Genoa</strong>.  Fares are cheap at Euro 1.40 one-way, and the difference between a 5 km trip and a 10 km trip is only Euro 10 cents. The tickets are valid for <strong>6 hours</strong> in each direction.  So if you’re at <strong>Riomagiorre</strong> and heading north, you can stop at all the other four villages within a 6-hour time-frame.  Your return trip requires a separate ticket.</p>
<p>When you purchase your ticket, make sure that you validate it at the <strong>yellow machine</strong> on the platform.  Train conductors do come around checking for tickets and if you’re caught without a validated ticket, the on-the-spot fine is Euro 25.  It’s hardly worth this risk given that the fares are only Euro 1.40.</p>
<div class="adLargerect"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-1009507070974015";

</script></div>
<p>If you’re staying for a few days and plan on doing some of the walks, you&#8217;ll probably be making a few trips back and forth between the five villages every day.  It may be worth buying the <strong>Cinque Terre Treno</strong> <strong>card</strong> which includes unlimited train travel for the duration of your card.  A 3-day <strong>Cinque Terre card</strong> costs Euro 10 and with unlimited train rides included, the cost is Euro 19.  This saves you the hassle of buying tickets for each time you wish to hop on the train or ensures that you already have a ticket if a train happens to be on the platform. It also gives you the freedom to go to different villages for dinner if choose to do so.</p>

<p><strong>Train timetables</strong> are posted at the station but it’s useful having a copy with you at all times when you’re out and about during the day or night so that you&#8217;ll know when you need to head for the station.  The ticket office has wallet size photocopies of these.  Another good reason for having these with you is that trains are sometimes late.  Jumping on the incorrect train could land you in the wrong destination as we all found out one day.  A train arrived at the station and everyone piled on board only to find that it’s the  non-stop train to <strong>Monterosso</strong>.</p>
<p>Always listen to the <strong>train announcements</strong> which are given in Italian and English as well.  You’ll very quickly get used to the many announcements in regard to the high-speed transit trains that don’t stop and other announcements as to which <em>‘binare’</em> or platform your train will be arriving at.</p>
<h4>Shuttle Buses:</h4>
<p>These run within the respective towns only.   <strong>Corniglia </strong>is the only Cinque Terre village that is not by the coast and requires a shuttle bus trip from the station if you don’t wish to hike uphill to the village &#8211; it is quite a hike!  The green National Park bus service meets each train arrival at Corniglia and with the <strong>Cinque Terre Card</strong>, the trip is free.  Otherwise, you’ll pay Euro 1.50 for the trip.</p>
<h4>Boats:</h4>
<p>Boats run between <strong>Riomaggiore</strong> and <strong>Monterosso</strong> during the day.  It&#8217;s much more expensive than the trains, but it’s worthwhile doing at least one trip from Riomggiore to Monterosso or vice versa to enjoy  the sea journey, as well as the water views of the villages.  One-way fare in either direction is Euro 8.00.</p>
<h4>Walking:</h4>
<p>The Cinque Terre offers lots of scenic walks between the five villages and other off the beaten track trails.  <strong>Walking</strong> the coastal route between the villages or the other trails is very much part of the enjoyment of being in the Cinque Terre.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Bikesharing &#8211; an environmental way to get around Rome:</h3>
<div id="attachment_722" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://www.travelsignposts.com/Italy/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/rome-bicycle-hire_588.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-722" title="rome-bicycle-hire_588" src="http://www.travelsignposts.com/Italy/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/rome-bicycle-hire_588-300x204.jpg" alt="Bike Sharing in Rome" width="300" height="204" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Tony Checking Out a Bike</p></div>
<p>We&#8217;re having a late lunch break at <strong>Caffè dell’Arte</strong> next to our hotel in<strong> Campo dei Fiori</strong> when we notice this smart row of green bikes lined up in a bike rack. Ah, this must be one of the bikesharing schemes that are sprouting up all over Europe.  Since this first sighting, we&#8217;ve seen many others during our strolls around the city.</p>
<p><strong>ATAC Roma</strong>, the government transit authority that runs the buses and Metro, now runs this service in Rome but unfortunately, the English version of their website does not seem to be available.  This is <strong>Mark II</strong> of the bikesharing scheme as <em>Roma’n&#8217;Bike</em>, the original operators, pulled out after some disagreement with the local government.</p>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<p>A smart signboard at the bike stand shows you where you can <strong>pick up</strong> and <strong>drop off </strong>your shared bike.  Seeing a local man about to pick up a bike, I ask him about the scheme.  He explains that to avail yourself of this service you must firstly pay  €5.00 to register as a user.  The ATAC offices are at Lepanto, Spagna and Termini on <strong>Metro A</strong>.  You top up your bike sharing card with a balance (at any of the tourist information points) so that your rental costs can be debited from this.  Rental rates are a  flat rate of €0.50 per hour.</p>
<div class="adLargerect"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-1009507070974015";
/* Italy 300x250, created 27/04/09 */
google_ad_slot = "3509345562";
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_height = 250;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></div>
<p>The service is available 24/7, and you can take a bike for a maximum of 24 hours at a time. You have to provide some identification/credit card details so that if you don&#8217;t return the bike or exceed your time limit, penalties can be charged to your card.  At fines of  €250, users are now remembering to return the bikes to the stands!</p>
<p>The chariots are long gone, but now Rome has bicycles.  Well, if you feel confident enough to cycle on the streets of <strong>Rome</strong>, this certainly is a great way of <strong>getting around</strong>.  Having gone around all the piazzas below on foot, I can tell you that my feet are now pretty sore!</p>
<h4>Bike Stand Locations are at:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Via del Corso, 1 (Piazza del Popolo)</li>
<li> Piazza Madonna di Loreto (Piazza Venezia)</li>
<li> Piazza del Parlamento</li>
<li> Piazza Colonna</li>
<li> Piazza di Spagna</li>
<li> Largo delle Stimmate (Argentina)</li>
<li> Piazza delle Cinque Lune (Piazza Navona)</li>
<li> Via Santa Caterina da Siena (Pantheon)</li>
<li> Piazza del Biscione (Campo dei Fiori)</li>
<li> Piazza San Silvestro</li>
<li> Piazza Sforza Cesarini</li>
<li>Via della Panetteria (via del Tritone)</li>
<li> Piazza Sant’Andrea della Valle</li>
<li>Vicolo della Campana (via della Scrofa)</li>
<li>Largo Arenula</li>
<li>Piazza dell’Oratorio</li>
<li>Via di Santa Maria in Via (Fontana di Trevi)</li>
<li>Piazza dell’Oro</li>
<li>Via dei Pontefici</li>
</ul>

<h4>Getting to Rome City Centre</h4>
<p>Taxis are easily available at <strong>Fiumicino Airport</strong> but fares are expensive.  Most people heading for Rome city centre will catch the train linking Fiumicino Airport to <strong>Rome Stazione Termini</strong> and then catch a taxi or metro from there.</p>
<p>When you&#8217;ve completed your Customs and Immigration formalities follow the signs to the train station/<em>Stazione Termini</em>.  The <strong>train station</strong> is opposite from the airport terminal and is connected by an overhead bridge.  There is a lift (near the <strong>Meeting Point</strong>) that will take you up to the train station level.  Once you cross the bridge you&#8217;ll see the train ticket counter on the right and the train platform in front of you.</p>
<p>Validate your ticket at one of the many <strong>yellow boxes</strong> before boarding the train.</p>
<p>The <strong>Leonardo Da Vinci Express</strong> to Rome Termini station leaves every 30 minutes.  As the name implies, this is the faster train and is more expensive.  The one-way train fare is Euro 11.00.</p>
<h4>At Rome Termini Station</h4>
<p>Follow the signs to the <strong>taxi stand</strong> or <strong>Metro</strong>.  Sometimes the taxi sign disappears along the way but what you&#8217;re looking for is the <strong>Piazza dei Cinquecento</strong>.  The taxi stand is just outside of this huge plaza.  This is the <strong>official taxi service</strong> which you should use and avoid any taxi touts who may approach you.</p>
<p>The <strong>Bus terminus</strong> is outside of Termini Station as well.  If you don&#8217;t have a huge case and your hotel is reachable by bus, this is another transport option.  Be warned though that the buses are very packed and getting on and off with your luggage can be very difficult.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong>:  The walk from where you disembark the train to the taxi-stand or metro is quite a long one.  Plan well if you&#8217;ve got a heavy case or intend carrying multiple bags.</p>
Anyone else have feelings about this?
