Split – October 17th & 18th 2017 Farewell Rome, you’ve been fun! It was also time to say goodbye to the car we’d been leasing for the last 2 months. First we were able to sell the roof rack and storage box in Rome then we dropped the car off near the airport. 7100 Kms...

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...

Mount Vesuvius – October 12th 2017 Vesuvius take 2! We had actually driven up to Vesuvius on our way to the Amalfi coast and were going to explore that day however high winds had closed the park and no entrance was allowed. So today was our redo day. No winds and clear-ish skies were in...

Pompeii – October 11th 2017 Today was a big adventure day in Pompeii. Ever since I was a kid I remember the stories of Pompeii. Learning about it in school was fascinating and I was so excited to see the ruins in person. We splurged for a tour guide for a couple of hours (normally...

Amalfi Coast – October 8th – 10th 2017 Positano was one of the towns on the coast we wanted to visit. The photos looked absolutely breathtaking and we wanted to experience it for ourselves. We weren’t far from anything really. Agerola was fairly central for us and it took less than an hour to arrive...

Rome to Amalfi – October 7th 2017 We had to spend the night a couple hours out of Rome after we got off the ferry. We were on our way to the Amalfi coast but couldn’t make it for check in so we needed to stop half way for the night. Our GPS either couldn’t...

Barcelona to Rome – October 6th 2017 Our ferry was very basic, slightly disappointing given the advertising we had seen. We had been excited to have the pool on deck for the next day while at sea. This would keep the kids busy for hours. Nope, pool closed and drained. ugh. So we left just...

Cinque Terre – September 5th 2017 Our first real Italian village experience happened! We stayed in a remote (remote to me!) small village about 25 minutes from the train station that would take us to Cinque Terre. We had only one bedroom and a sleeper sofa. There ended up being no wifi although it was...

Pisa – September 4th 2017 Next stop Pisa! Now, as much as I loved Venice, Italy was somewhat letting me down again. Between the drivers being crazy and Florence not being as lovable as I would have liked, I really wanted Pisa to blow me out the water with Italian fabulousness!! Parking and traffic were...
