Day 14 — Travel Day

First off — if you didn’t notice, I posted the adventures of the last two days with pictures from Cinque Terre. Today was mostly a travel day for us having to be at the train station by 9:30 to catch our first train and arriving in SWITZERLAND at 7:30pm. One more country crossed off the […]

Day 13 — Oh the hiking…AGAIN

I’d like to preface this post with a story. When we were in the beginning phases of planning this trip, Kevin was quite distressed that he wasn’t going to get to do any hiking. So the nice wife that I am said ‘oh we can do some hiking on my part of the trip’. So […]

Day 12 – We Found the Sea

Today we traveled from Rome to Riomaggiore which is one of the five towns that make up Cinque Terre (chink-kay tare-eh) which is located right on the Mediterranean Sea.  The train ride up was quite uneventful other than the two little girls that sat next to us – they were probably 11 and 7 and […]

Off the Grid

We will be off the wifi grid for a bit meaning we will not be posting adventures again until Wednesday night at the earliest.

Day 11 — Roman Ruins

Another lazy morning, as the long days and heat are definitely wearing us down, but we also knew we had time to spare today with our adventure to Ostia Antica.  This is a roman ruin city about an hour away from Rome, which meant we had to master public transportation here.  Fortunately it was easier […]

Day 10 — When in Rome

Today was a slower moving day for us as we ended up sleeping in a little later than we probably should have, and we also enjoyed a couple of hours in the afternoon in our room taking shelter from the daily afternoon thunderstorm (Step Up was on, so all was not lost!) n Even so, […]

Day 9 — Another country down…

We arrived in Rome today via train, and I can already tell I’m gonna like this city better than Venice. It is definitely full of tourists, but it feels way more spacious and real.  We decided to walk from the train station to our B&B which may or may not have been a mistake depending […]

Day 8: Venezia

To start the day off, I realized that I did not have my camera anymore. It’s a bit of a mystery as to what happened to it, but I suspect I either left it in the rental car or it was taken out of my side pocket on the way to our B&B in Venice. […]

Day 7 — Italy!

Today was a new adventure for us — we traveled from Munich to Italy by train. It was surprisingly easy even though the 7 hour train ride was so long (our flight was cancelled, so we had to go by train..). It’s crazy how easy it is to just get on a train – no […]
