    Super Paradise Beach

    June 21, 2018 in Greece ⋅ 🌙 22 °C

    We tried to hire a ATV today to go to the beach, but weren’t able to get one from a reputable company so we decided to bus it to Super Paradise beach. Thankfully we did just get the bus as the roads weren’t good and parking wasn’t great. We settled at the Jackie O section of the beach which was nice, but a bit showy and the service slow. In the evening we went out to Mamouka for dinner which was fantastic.Read more

    Capri boat tour

    June 28, 2018 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    We took a day boat tour to the island of Capri which is about 45mins boat ride from Sorrento. We stopped off to look at the different coloured grottos, but weren’t able to go inside the famous blue grotto as the tide was too high. Instead of queuing for the train to the town of Capri we took the steep stairs and were rewarded with the beautiful view when we reached the top. We spent 5 hours on the island before returning to Sorrento. On the way back the captain stopped off at a waterfall where he reversed the boat back to give us a freezing cold shower! In the evening we ate like the locals in a traditional pizza shop and went for gelato.Read more

    Chianti Wine Tour

    July 5, 2018 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    We took the opportunity today to do a wine tour of the Chianti region tour the Curious appetite gourmet tour company. We started with a quick stop to take in the amazing view over Florence from the “fake David” as it’s commonly known. We then travelled in the countryside where the scenery became picture perfect with rolling hills and tall thin Cypress trees. Our first stop of the day was a beautiful little village called Greve where we had some time to walk around the historic square to explore the shops and have a coffee. We then travelled just outside the main village to a tiny vineyard called Castellinuzza Piucca which only produces 2500 bottles per year where we first had a tour of their cellar and then had a fantastic lunch and wine tasting overlooking the beautiful rolling hills. On our way to the next vineyard we stopped off at a tiny little village called Montefioralle which only has a wine shop, bar and a restaurant. The Main Street in the village can only be accessed by foot and was so peaceful and tourist free apart from us! The next and final stop was at Solatione vineyard where we had a lovely tour from the owner Elisabetta followed by tasting and purchases to ship back home! It was then back to Florence where stopped off at a wine bar for a glass of red to top us up followed by a stroll around Florence and pizza.Read more

    Today we took a Duomo tour and climbed the 500 steps through the double dome structure to the top where we had a panoramic view of the city. The intricate details both inside and outside of the building were truly breathtaking. One our tour finished and we walked down the 500 steps to get out we went for a drink in the shade to cool down. We took an easy walk around Florence in the afternoon and returned to the hotel as I wasn’t feeling well (nothing to do with the wine tour the day before!).

    Monterosso via Pisa

    July 7, 2018 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    We travelled today to Pisa to visit the leaning tower on the way to Monterosso. The tower itself is quite a sight and the city while impressive it its own right isn’t massively exciting. We spent a few hours wondering around before getting back on the train to Monterosso where we were met at the station by the charming Nicoletta who took us to our hotel Camere D'Autore La Poesia. The hotel is located in the old part of the town and has been in the family for 4 generations and only has 4 rooms.

    We completed the Cinque Terre 11km hike today from Monterosso - Vernazza - Corniglia - Manarola - Riomaggiore starting at 9:45am and finishing at 5pm! The views and little towns along the hike were beautiful and very busy. The trail was very challenging in sections with lots of steep climbs and declines, but it was very worthwhile. When we finally reached Riomaggiore we were knackered and glad to have made the last ferry back to Monterosso.Read more
