We flew back to Rome and had about 36 hours to kill just wandering, shopping and eating.  Truth be told it was starting to get super hot and the crowds had gone insane and the losing of my shit (and patience) had begun. And I have to say our legs were now really really ‘fucque […]

  Trains and Fried Husband Brains I felt this little mini adventure deserved it’s own blog post because it’s important to document in full detail the final nail in the ‘CRAZY HUSBAND COFFIN” when it comes to catching trains.  I know it’s low hanging fruit to continue to pick on him but there is just […]

After the Full Metal Jacket Craziness of Venice and the crowds yesterday, I wanted to spend this last day anywhere but in the middle of that chaos.  So we hopped on a vaporetto for the 40 minute trip over to Burano, a nearby island that is very well known for it’s beautiful brightly painted fisherman’s […]

The main activity for today was doing a tour of Doge Palace or Palazzo Ducale if you wanna get all fancy pants.  The palace was built in 1424 and is the magestic centrepiece of St. Mark’s Square. We had booked to do the Secret Itineraries Tour which gave you alot more behind the scenes touring […]

(well yes I am writing this 18 months after the trip and I would appreciate it if you glorious bitches wouldn’t “slack travel blogger” shame me ok.  Bite down on the judgement and enjoy the read lol) SWEET MOTHER OF CHRIST after the huge shenanigans of yesterday celebrating the best 20 years of husband’s life, […]

Look some people may say, not me, but some people……may say marrying me was the best day of Husband’s life and wow, wasn’t he lucky!!!  I mean, I wouldn’t say it, I’d be embarrassed, it seems a bold yet arguably reasonable statement, and I am humble so I won’t say it – but other people […]

Why visit Bologna I hear you ask?  Some of you may think it’s because I have some kind of childhood fantasy of seeing where the weekly Monday night “out of a jar”delight that all Aussie kids were served up over sloppy spaghetti in their formative years by the maternal parental figure came from.  I’m sure […]

It’s fair to say I plan these holidays with zero input from husband.  Literally nada!!!  He just comes along for the ride looking pretty and doesn’t make too many demands.  So long as he gets regular snacks and naps and the occasional interesting sight to see he is sweet!!!! When planning this holiday since I […]

After a teeny tiny sleep-in, which is code for 7.02am (getting betterer by the minute bahahaha) we met our private guide to do a walking tour of Florence.  We were supposed to do this tour our first day but due to a small glitch with the tour company (I can’t even tell this story without […]

Up early, traipsing through the streets of Florence with our luggage to drop it off at what was supposed to be our hotel for the whole stay lol.  I’m just sooking, it was not that big of a deal in the end and we really liked our intended hotel.  It is inside quite an iconic […]
