Dubrovnik – October 24th & 25th 2017 Dubrovnik had so much to offer. It was quaint and old and charming and beautiful. It also has a cable car up the mountain to give you some breathtaking views of the town and the gorgeous Adriatic Sea below! There had been rain and wind the day prior...

Split to Dubrovnik – October 22nd & 23rd 2017 Good bye Split, it was fun and relaxing. We dropped our rental car off by the bus station, which was a great convenience as we were taking the bus to Dubrovnik. Why drive yourself when the bus will be just as easy, not too expensive 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...

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...
