  • Venice 🇮🇹🎻

    October 11, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Left England one final time for the last leg of our travels. India has been replaced with Italy due to the ever-growing baby on board! First stop - Venice! 🇮🇹 …Absolutely beautiful few days: tonnes of walking around the gorgeous island, lots of eating (as usual), and a beautiful Vivaldi concert 🎶Read more

  • The Dolomites ⛰

    October 14, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Picked up our little Fiat 500 and headed north to the mountains! Had a gorgeous few days hiking and exploring the Dolomites mountain range - a breath of fresh air both literally and metaphorically. Such a beautiful time of year with all of the reds and oranges!Read more

  • Lake Garda 🚤

    October 17, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Continuing our road trip with a couple of days by Lake Garda 🧡 Cute little hotel by the water, lots more walking and relaxing, some cold lake dipping, and eating far too much for Ben’s birthday celebrations! 🎈Read more

  • Pisa & Florence 🇮🇹🍕

    October 19, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    A short little stop over in Tuscany before we head to Rome 🚙 🇮🇹🏛 Managed to squeeze in both Pisa and Florence whilst soaking up the Tuscan sunshine 🌞 Both beautiful cities, gorgeous buildings and architecture, and more delicious food! 🍕Read more

  • Rome 🏛️

    October 21, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Exploring beautiful Rome 🧡 We stayed a little train ride out of the city to keep costs down, in a rather weird and wonderful Airbnb full of cat pictures and keepsakes 🐱😂 Had a great time wandering the gorgeous streets of Rome and ticking off all of the main attractions whilst eating lots of gelato: The Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, Vatican City, Pantheon. Loved this breathtaking city, the food, the history and the glorious sunshine! 🌞Read more

  • Naples 🍕

    October 24, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Naples… where apparently we did nothing but eat 😂 Totally different city to anywhere else we’ve been in Italy, feels much more gritty and rustic, less pristine and well polished - but in a really charming way. And without a doubt the best food so far in Italy, possibly the best food anywhere we’ve been all year! Tasty sfogliatelle pastries everywhere keeping up fuelled up for lots more walking 💪🏼 The pizzas were of course the best ever, as well as the pizza frittas (deep fried pizza), and we LOVED learning how to make gnocchi at a little family home 🍝Read more

  • Pompeii & Mount Vesuvius 🌋

    October 26, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    A very active day (despite the ever-growing baby belly!) exploring the ancient city of Pompeii, then climbing Mount Vesuvius 🌋 Got the train from Naples, and made our own way around both sites. Loved every minute. The sun came out just in time for a hike up the volcano - such a perfect day. Feeling very grateful and slightly emotional as our year of travels begins to come to an end!Read more

  • Sorrento 🌞

    October 27, 2022 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Our final pit stop! 😢 What an incredible few weeks, and an incredible past year of adventures! Couldn’t think of a more serene place to spend our last few days away. Lots of walking and swimming around the beautiful, rocky coast, and of course lots more eating 🍽️ Reflecting on our amazing trip, and getting excited to start nesting back home ready for our arrival next February 👶🏼 …The next chapter begins!Read more
