Ravenna is best known for its mosaics and houses some of the oldest and well preserved in the world. Despite neither of us being religious or having that much interest in religion, you cannot come to Ravenna without seeing some mosaics. It would be like being in Italy and not eating ice cream or pasta! […]
Italy
Sorrento – Steph & Cam’s Wedding
Day 1 Alarm went off at 3:30am. Buns are prepped and Nicola’s coming on Saturday to check up on them. We made it to the airport and jumped on our plane to Naples. There are a lot of different ways to get to Sorrento; however, none of them are direct. On the way there we […]
San Rocco and Camogli, Italy. – Europe Road Trip
Day 71 – San Rocco We left early to get moving further north. On the autostrade we drove through Cinque Terre which was really pretty. We had originally wanted to visit some of the towns but hadn’t found anywhere we could park. All of the towns are built right into the side of the mountains […]
Livorno and Pisa, Italy. – Europe Road Trip
Day 69 – Livorno Livorno is quite a small town and not very touristy, mainly because there’s not a lot left there. It feels like it was once a nice place to come and visit, but it’s now all a bit run down and in some places literally falling apart. We spent a couple of […]
San Marino and Florence, Italy. – Europe Road Trip
Day 67 – San Marino After ringing the insurance company and checking that we were definitely covered in San Marino we headed up the hill. Jack’s parents had been here so we’d heard a lot about it. After parking up at the middle of the hill another British couple in a van approached us and […]
Ravenna, Italy. – Europe Road Trip
Day 65 – Ravenna It was so much cooler that we actually managed to get a lie in; when we did get up it was lunch time so we had some piadinas. These are very common across this region of Italy and are kind of their version of a sandwich. It’s basically a heated wrap […]
Spina Beach and Driving to Ravenna, Italy. – Europe Road Trip
Day 63 – Spina Beach The following morning we headed back down to the beach. We had decided that we would get two deckchairs and an umbrella so we could chill all day and I could not burn and Jack could improve his tan. He even acquired a head band from a looky looky man […]
Leaving Lake Garda, Comacchio and Spina Beach, Italy. – Europe Road Trip
Day 61 – Leaving Lake Garda After dropping the girls at the station and utilising the free wifi hotspot outside the station to note down all of the free parking places along the the East coast below Venice, Jack and I headed back to our favourite spot to chill a bit more by the lake […]
Lake Garda, Italy. – Europe Road Trip
Day 58 – Lake Garda We had decided to move onto a different spot slightly further West round Lake Garda to a town called Salò; however the free parking wouldn’t be available until 3pm when the market finished. We thought we’d get there for just after 3 to make sure we got a good spot. […]
Innsbruck, Austria and Lake Garda, Italy. – Europe Road Trip
Day 56 – Innsbruck It was our last day on our vignette so we really did have to go to Innsbruck today. We had decided to park at the park and ride as it was cheap and quite central allowing us to walk in rather than taking the bus. When we arrived the whole of […]
