Spain has so many amazing qualities, but one of it’s best are the abundance of beaches. I have been so incredibly lucky and have been able to visit a bunch of them and after some thorough research, I can honestly say that Mallorca is my favorite. Last week, I spent four days in Mallorca and […]
Our last day in London was a full day of everything that we hadn’t done. So, basically- all of the famous things people go to London to see. Backing up, we first went to Green Park to head over to Buckingham Palace. Since the changing of the guards was cancelled the day earlier, we still […]
Where were we? Ah, yes….sleeping ten hours. The second day in London had a forecast of rain. 100% rain. All day. FUN! I actually only took like 3 photos that day, but here is what we did: Breakfast: We wanted to see the changing of the guards ceremony, which happens every other day, […]
Top of the day to ya, mate! Do they say that in London? Not sure! But I am sure of a few other things. London is an awesome city. It’s huge and it’s beautiful and there are so many things to see. Remember Shannon? My best friend from college? She is going back to […]
Finally! The end of the Italy posts! I didn’t think this day would come, but these posts certainly are my favorite to go back and read and I hope they are helpful for anyone out there who finds them. So, Genoa. It was the last place on our tour and luckily, my good friend Kimber […]
After Cinque Terre, we were off to what ended up being the BEST city we visited- Portofino! Portofino is absolutely beautiful, with it’s crystal clear water and bright colored buildings. Everyone goes gaga for Cinque Terre, but I really thought this little place takes the cake. In terms of things to do and see, no- […]
After getting a little taste of Cinque Terre by visiting Vernazza, we decided the next day would be dedicated to seeing the rest of the towns. But first, some Italian breakfast, made by our wonderful B&B host. We decided to start at the furthest town and then make our way closer to home, so that […]
After Lucca, we were off to the city (or should I say, cities) that I was MOST excited for! Cinque Terre. You know, the 5 incredibly bright colored cities on the coast of Italy? If you want to read about Cinque Terre and the history, click here. But let’s back up. After leaving Lucca, we […]
After packing up and heading out of Bologna, we made our way towards Pisa. We briefly discussed skipping it and leaving it for the next day, but decided it was best to go and get it over with before making our way to Lucca. We found some free parking (score!) and then walked 15 minutes […]
After our adventurous day in Florence, we started our last morning in Florence with a quick 30 minute run. Florence is like Madrid- the stores and shops are pretty much closed until about 10 am, so it made running through the old streets much, much easier! While I packed up the Airbnb and made […]
