Last day in Arezzo
8. oktober 2022, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
Today was our last day in Arezzo and after our last delicious breakfast at “our place”, Vasari Café, we spent the day just leisurely strolling the streets and laneways. With no particular destination or plan, we just wandered and enjoyed our surroundings, taking it all in, soaking it up, knowing it is our last day here. We spent the day eating, drinking and relaxing.

Arezzo has been the perfect way to finish our trip and we are glad we changed our itinerary and decided come here, a new town to explore and enjoy, and the perfect place to relax and unwind.Les mer

Rome
9. oktober 2022, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
Sadly our amazing five weeks in Italy is at its end and we have returned to Rome for one final day before our flight home. What we didn't expect returning to Rome was how busy it was going to be. We are now fully out of "tourist" season and yet Rome is buzzing, flooded with tourist enjoying this historic city.

We chose to spend our last night staying near the Trevi Fountain, thinking it would be less crowded than when we arrived. We were wrong, very wrong. However, we did make the most of our last night in the country my heart calls home. We had our last Italian gelato, our last delicious Italian meal, and our last look and photo at the places we love.

This trip has been amazing, exploring new places and revisiting some of our favourites. It has been relaxing, awe inspiring, breath-taking, and so much more. Italy is where I feel most at home, where I can just breathe, where my heart is. Io amo l’Italia!Les mer

Rome to Home
10. oktober 2022, Italia ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
And in a blink of an eye our glorious five weeks in Italy is over and we sadly start the long journey home. This is when I get really jealous of the lucky people who live a hop, skip and a jump away from Italy, the lucky people who don’t have to endure a 24+ hour flight to visit the place they love most in the world. It is obviously worth it as we will be coming back.

Here is our trip wrap-up:

We visited 14 Italian towns, visited 21 churches, climbed 3 towers and saw so many historic sites. We walked almost 300 000 steps, 200km and 316 flights of stairs.

Most overwhelming cathedral – Basilica of San Francesco d’ Assisi
Town with sites we loved the most – Parma – The Baptistry and Monastery
Towns we want to revisit - Assissi, Pienza

We tried 44 different gelato flavours
Most expensive gelato - Siena but it was delicious
Favourite flavour - Amarena (black cherry) and we had a lot of these
Weirdest flavour - Zucca (pumpkin) We tried this on our food tour and were not fans

We ate way too many pastas and types to count
Best food – Modena
Worse food – Como (also had some amazing food here too. Just the location of our worse meal for the whole trip - we know we shouldn't eat in the tourist places - lesson learnt)
Best complimemtary snack with drinks - San Gimignano
Most interesting food presentation - Meat "laundry" in Pienza
Fanciest meal - Orvieto at Labirinto di Adriano, a fabulous restaurant with a labyrinth of underground tunnels and caves, and also amazing food
Things to remember - piazza with four toppings is a topping in each quarter. Not four toppings together
Favourite drink - Hugo

Lowlights – bad weather in Como – changed all our plans of being on the water every day

Highlights – catching up with family in Rome and Milan and seeing Bruno again in San Gimignano

Prettiest town – Pienza
Most colourful town – Modena
Most relaxing town – Arezzo
Favourite town - impossible to pick one as we love all Italy has to offer

Until next time, Grazie Italia, grazie mille. Hai il mio cuore!Les mer
