Italy Part 4: Portofino and Venice
Be sure to check out the rest of our trip to Italy Part 1 – Rome | Part 2 – Pompeii and Positano | Part 3 – Tuscany and Florence I’m sad this is my last blog post from Italy, I love looking back at all the images we took! The last two cities we visited in Italy were Portofino and Venice. I actually booked Portofino by accident, thinking I was booking a hotel outside the Cinque Terre. It ended up being a 3 hours drive difference, so we headed straight to Portofino after leaving Pisa. On our way to the hotel, we were stopped by a road block turning away all traffic from Portofino.…

Italy Part 3: Tuscany and Florence
Be sure to check out the rest of our trip to Italy Part 1 – Rome | Part 2 – Pompeii and Positano After our last breakfast on the Amalfi Coast, we packed our car and headed towards Tuscany.

After the springs, we headed to our airbnb. It was out in the middle…

We rented from Eurpocar, making it easy to pick up our car in Rome and dropping it off in Venice. We got pretty use to driving in Italy on the way out of Rome. We learned pretty fast to just let people over and pull out in front if you need to turn (no one is going to stop for you if you just sit there). Overall, driving seemed pretty easy. Our third day in Italy we planned…

Italy Part 1: Rome
Colin and I started planning our trip to Italy a few years ago, but ended up not taking it because I changed jobs. We didn’t know where we wanted to go this year, so we decided to pull out our old plans and go to Italy! Our original trip was planned for two weeks, so we had to cut a few cities from our list and my mom also joined us. We flew into Rome at 9:30am and were ready to get exploring. I love taking red eyes and arriving at our destination in the mornings. It allows us to hit the ground running and not mess up our sleep…
