Ending our trip at Lake Como was a wonderful way to spend our last couple of days in Italy. We were really able to relax and unwind from all the previous site seeing. The highlight of the last few days was a boat tour of the lake. It was a romantic ride at dusk with only […]
We were in Venice for one night and two days. It is a beautiful city, decadent and romantic. We can see why it appeals to so many tourists. The tourists, however, were the reason that we did not care for Venice as much as the South of Italy. The best part was, as so many […]
We spent an entire day relaxing today in the Cinque Terre region, a national park on the coast of Italy. There are these five beautiful little towns right near the water. We laid on the beach and swam for the 1st time in Italy. The water is much colder that in the south, like Sapri. After an afternoon nap, we […]
Florence is a very large city, but easier to navigate. The shopping is amazing here, if you are into designer brands you will love this place. We are staying at the Hotel Enza, which is walking distance from the sites. Yesterday, we got in late so we only went out for dinner. Our favorite meal […]
After Rome we headed to Siena, we got there around 8pm but it was just in time for an evening at El Campo. El Campo, is one of there largest plazas in Italy and highly recommended by our Rick Steves guidebook. We showered and got dressed for our second nice dinner in Italy. It was incredibly beautiful […]
This city is amazing and at the same time overwhelming. Each site seems to be bigger than the last. Although it took us an entire day to get here, Rome was worth the wait. Today, we went to Vatican city. I am so glad we got up early and opted for a tour today to […]
We traveled to Roma (Rome) yesterday by way of the train. It was the first bad traveling experience we have had thus far. We were lucky and, upon arriving at the station, were sold tickets to the correct train leaving in about 6 minutes. The longer distance trains don’t run every 15 minutes like the […]
As we walked through the streets of Maratea, everyone yelled Auguri! which is Italian for Congratulations! For those of you haven’t heard already, we eloped on Sunday. We were married on the beach along the beautiful coast of Maratea. Maratea is located about 30 minutes to the south of Sapri and south of the Amalphi coast. […]
Last night after we wrote, we went to a recommended local restaurant called Sophias. It was a cute little family place. We got many stares as we entered, I dont think they are used to Americans at a place frequented by mainly locals. The service was very friendly and the food was great. Josh had more pizza […]
