Day Twenty Six was mainly spent travelling. We walked from our hotel in Florence to the station, but this time we took the back streets and it was quite enjoyable. I may have even detoured us past 'Roosters' in hope of a green juice to-go - great idea might I add! We arrived at the…
We had such an incredible time in Cinque Terre and were very sad to say goodbye. Unfortunately, we hadn't slept very well on any of the nights at the Airbnb. The rooms were quite nice at first glance, but the beds were disappointing and a sensor in the hallway kept loudly clicking the lights on…
It's been a dream of mine to hike Cinque Terre and see the incredible towns that make up this iconic landscape and we are finally here! As we were only staying in Cinque Terre for two full days, the plan was to take the train to Riommagiore, which is the most southern of the towns, and walk…
Jordan and I get up early and sneak in a workout before breakfast, then pick up some freshly washed clothes from the dry cleaners and some food for the train ride to Cinque Terre. We finished packing up our things and said 'arrevedici' to Roma. The train took approximately four hours to Pisa, from there…
We woke up early and headed down for a nice leisurely breakfast, before Pop's car arrived to take him to the airport. Although it was sad to see him go, it was a nice farewell and Pop made it to the airport A-OK. Ostia Antica was on the agenda for today and we were soon…
Pops last day in Italy was spent roaming rome (ha). We caught a bus down to the Campo di Fiori markets to checkout the scene. The place had such a vibrant buzz, full of lively street vendors and many locals shopping for fresh products, ranging from fruit and veg, cheese, flowers, nuts, chocolate, coffee, juice; the list…
Snag some breakfast and we are out the door and on a train to Nettuno. Home to the one and only attraction, an American Military Memorial, that Pop had really wanted to visit. A short walk from the station and a few directions from the locals and we had reached the memorial. I grabbed some…
Woke up and got straight into a HIIT workout on the small balcony of our hotel room, involving body weight exercises like squats and push ups. Managed to actually get up a good sweat, though super missing going to the gym. Scheduled in today was a trip to the Borghese Gallery, as Pop had already…
A little sleep in, some cuddles and a late-ish breakfast was very much needed for day twelve in wonderful Italy. Today's adventures consisted of a day trip out to Tivoli to explore the gardens and ruins of Villa d'Este and Villa Adriana. Tivoli is a town in Lazio, 30km north-east of Rome. The train took…
I sneakily smuggled away some pastries for the road after our last breakfast at Corte de Francesi. We took a taxi to Brindisi airport (I swear they were going at least 140km/h), because we were flying past all the other cars. We checked in our baggage and boarded a plane to Roma! A bus trip to…
