Florence has actually been quite a laid back city, much cleaner than Rome and without as many people trying to sell you a selfie stick, a bottle of water or souvenirs. It’s also been an interesting city to be emotional in, and take my time to grow and sort things out in my head and …
We didn’t have much time in Rome – only one full day and a few hours (on the first day we got in from Salerno due to the train delays). So when we were looking into what we could do here, I came across Walks of Italy and their full Rome day tour. Link here …
For the past few months, I’ve had an image from Positano as my phone lock screen, dreaming of the day I would be able to go and take my own lock screen photo. Today I was finally able to make it and it was everything I dreamt of and more. Arriving by ferry We caught …
The second half of our day after visiting the Pompeii ruins was making our way to be Amalfi coast which I was very excited for! Arriving by ferry We chose to base ourselves in Amalfi town (35mins away from Salerno and Positano in different directions by ferry). The ferry we took was run by TravelMar …
This will be a bit of a short post but oh my gosh, we were meant to get to Rome from Salerno at 3pm today from catching a 12:29pm train. From the beginning, the Trenitalia train was delayed by 10mins. Then it stretched into 15mins. We finally got on board, but the train would stop …

If you’ve made plans to go to Santorini, its likely you’ve also planned to go to Oia for the famous sunset. If you’re based in Fira, here’s a possible route (with sight seeing) for your day to get to Oia! For us, we woke up around 9am and picked up the ATV at 10am from …
Well the trip has started off a bit rough 🙁 we arrived at Santorini airport early in the morning from Athens. Then we took a 20€ taxi for 7mins and arrived at our accomodation with no receptionist there to greet us. We had to wait something like 10mins before someone came out to us only …
Athens was not what I expected it to be. A bit grungy, a bit dirty, VERY hot and full of shopping haha Day 1 Our flight was already delayed from Dubrovnik which got us to Athens around 1pm (2 hours after our scheduled arrival). This means we got in during the peak heat of the …
