“No wonder these people are so religious. They have to pray every time they step out into traffic!” We are so thankful to be away from Napoli, and excited we have arrived in our last stop before returning home: Rome! Our first full day in Rome was spent exploring the city, finding the … More Roaming in Roma
People had been warning us about Naples before we even arrived in Italy. We’ve heard of the so called “murder rooms” or small rooms when you enter a bank where you are held with two stoic guard with machine guns until you are cleared to enter the bank. We’ve gotten a range of warnings from … More Back in old Napoli…
Hey I turned 22 on the day we left Cinque Terre and headed to Florence, how cool is that? That night Maggie treated me to a Trattoria dinner. Let me preface this with a fact Maggie learned: The average American eats 1/3 of the amount of pasta that the average Italian eat and honestly, we’ve … More Florence (yum!)
Cinque terre might be the best place yet. We arrived by train to Monterosso on a rainy afternoon. However, we did not expect the beauty that is the Mediterranean coast of Italia. But because of the rain, and our search for our shuttle, we only had a moment to take it in at sea level. … More Coastal Italia wins
After the stormy days we spent in Venice, Verona was a welcome, sunny, sight. We stayed in a cute little B&B where we met a San Franciscan who was starting out his biking/camping adventure. It’s weird to remember back at the beginning of our journey meeting travelers ending their trips and we would pick their … More Verona
The day we arrived in Venice, it was raining. That’s OK! We’ve felt with rain before. The only difference is that we were in a city that runs with boats on canals, not cars or roads in sight. I had heard about Venice’s strange transportation system, but thought it would be more like Amsterdam: comprehensible. … More Rainy days in a city full of wonder
After Munich, we travelled to Innsbruck, Austria. Although typically a ski resort town, we got to Innsbruck before the snow, and therefore the crowds. We stayed in a lovey B&B in the heart of the city. We were able to once again spoil ourselves to a private room for cheap. The first day, after … More Gorgeous views, nice walks and free pasta.
We left Barcelona by plane and headed back up north to Germany for two nights. Neither Mags or I thought we would have the reaction to Germany that we did: it was strikingly beautiful. Bavaria knows how to do autumn right. We arrived early and spent the rest of the day exploring Munich, the … More Munich and Dachau
We arrived via train from Barcelona to beautiful, seaside, Valencia on the 2nd of October. We then had a traditional siesta meal! Three courses (paella, chicken and veggies, flan…and of course beer and bread!) for only €11 each! Truth be told we were viewing Valencia as a sort of “vacation” and before you yell at … More Valencia
