Our alarms woke us up at a nice 6am. The final alarm of our honeymoon and it couldn’t be any more bittersweet. Quickly, we had a shower, packed up, had one final look at our adorable hotel, and walked over to the metro. The metro system is Paris is fantastic, and really trumps that of …
With a beautiful sleep, we awoke to a stunning breakfast in bed. It was everything you could imagine when you think of Paris: pain du chocolate, croissant, café. We enjoyed the breakfast half in bed and half on our adorable balcony then headed out to finish our final day in Paris! Strolling through our neighborhood, …
The ringing of the alarm at 6am was not the most pleasant sound to hear. We both slept awful, perhaps in sadness for leaving Rome, or in anticipation of arriving in Paris. Either way, we walked to the tram, took the train to the airport, and arrived in Paris. Last year in April, Paris was …
First day for a sleep in and did it ever feel lovely! We started our morning off with a simple espresso and treat, and then were pleasantly fueled for the day. We hopped on the bus across the river and headed south to check out the Pyramid of Cestius. It’s an ancient pyramid circa B.C …
We had another early morning rise today. Why, you ask? Because we had plans to have breakfast with the Pope. Well, not quite, but you get the idea. We took the bus to the Vatican area, turned around the corner, and were greeted by the stunning image of St Peter’s Basilicia. It truly is something …
This morning we woke up early to start our walk to see the infamous sites of Rome. We strolled across the bridge and led ourselves into the ancient city. After quickly grabbing our Roma pass, our first stop was the Colosseum. This stunning structure was built in A.D 80, when the Roman Empire was at …
We had a small snack in our room this morning before walking over to the neighborhood of Testaccio for a walking food tour. Testaccio is primarily a working class neighborhood that has history and artefacts found that date back to 12 BC. It was the main settlement in Rome initially because of its easy accessible …
Finishing off our final tasty breakfast in Firenze, we sauntered sadly to the train station. Firenze is such a beautiful city, with so much history, art, and romance. It will forever have a place in my heart. Our train ride to Rome was only 1.5 hours and we decided to walk in the sweltering heat …
Update on the negroni: After our dinner last night, we walked over to Atrium Bar. They are reviewed to make the best negroni in Florence. For those who don’t know, the negroni cocktail originated in Florence. Legend says that Count Camillo Negroni asked his bartender friend to strengthen his favourite drink, the Americano, which had …
Awaking bright eyed and bushy tailed, we quickly walked down to the Galleria dell’Accademia in hopes of seeing the real David. As we turned the corner, a steady line was already being formed. We hopped in and waited just a little over an hour before entering the gallery. As we walked in, we were completely …
