Day 3
Milan
June 19, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Milan! Today we hiked up N stairs to walk on the roof of the Duomo Milano, which was once the largest church in the world (i think it’s still top 10), went through the Museo Duomo, visited the Sforza castle that belonged the Duke of Milan, and spun on the Torino bull.Read more

Turin
June 20, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
What a gem. We wanted to know what it would be like visiting a non-touristy city and Torino was only an hour train ride away. The royal palace was incredible and they simply had Roman ruins hanging out in the middle of town. Apparently some duke wanted to tear them down in the 16th century but a rando advisor convinced him not to. We didn’t get to the Basilica of Superga but I did get a photo of it way up there - next time.Read more

Venice
June 22, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
One of our two shorter legs, we had about a day and a half here. Honestly, I was not enormously excited about going here, and it mostly met my expectations for it. There’s something both interesting and depressing about visiting a once-great city who is now obviously in an accelerated decline.Read more

Day 8
Florence
June 24, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
What a gorgeous city. The old parts were so impressive at every turn, and the new parts look like San Jose, so I loved it. We went to the Uffizi Gallery and saw countless famous paintings in real life, we ate a Florentine steak recommended by Rick Steves, and we saw the Medici dome (and accompanying duomo) in real life. There’s still lots to do the next time we come here.Read more

Pisa
June 25, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
Another day trip, this time to Pisa. I wish we’d had enough time to walk the entire city wall because I really liked that. I also didn’t realize that there’s a beautiful duomo and baptistery next to the leaning tower. They’re super not kidding about the lean, though.Read more

Rome
June 27, 2023 in Italy ⋅ 🌙 28 °C
We needed more time here, but we knew that going in. We also made the decision to shelve the sights that’s required admission because of our Vatican City tour mid day. Still, we laid eyes on a few of the big ones and will simply have to come back again for the rest.Read more

Day 11
Vatican City
June 27, 2023 in Vatican City ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
The main focus of our visit to Rome wasn’t Rome itself, but Vatican City, the smallest country in the world. We couldn’t find unattended tickets on the day we had available to see the Vatican, so we ended up with a private tour, which was honestly great. The Sistine Chapel was beautiful (no pictures allowed) but disappointing because all everyone had to do was stop talking for two minutes and almost nobody could manage it. St. Peter’s Basilica was definitely the star of the show, though.Read more
