Vatican City – October 15th & 16th 2017 So after our long day out exploring in Rome (Colosseum, Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps) we needed a good down day. We had a lazy morning, caught up a bit on school work (it was getting hard to get any done most of these days) and...

Rome – October 13th & 14th 2017 It was finally time for us to leave the Amalfi coast (we were ready! The oddly laid out rental with no WiFi had lost its charm days before haha). The 4 hour drive to Rome was pretty easy. We had gotten used to the crazy drivers on the...

Barcelona – October 4th 2017 The day after the strike we finally made it into Barcelona city! The day after the strike was a toss up whether full service would resume on the trains so we took a chance and headed to the station. The train arrived (albeit a bit late) and we hopped on...

Barcelona – October 2nd & 3rd 2017 Time to hit the road to Barcelona. We had been in the city twice technically but had yet to see any of it, really. We were ready for our stay and couldn’t wait to explore. I had always heard great things about Barcelona. We stayed just out the...
