Venice is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and easily the most romantic cities in Italy. I know Paris is well-known for being ‘the romantic city’ but don’t be fooled, Venice easily rivals Paris for this title. Plus it has amazing ice creams so for me. It absolutely wins! 🙂 Venice is so … Continue Reading
Easily one of the most iconic structures in Italy and indeed across the world, The Leaning Tower of Pisa is truly an amazing sight to behold! I was in so much of it when I saw it in person but I’m jumping the gun here, let me take a few steps back here. Visiting Pisa … Continue Reading
This is one of those posts that you’re gonna need a pretty huge cuppa tea, some biscuits or perhaps even a scone or two slathered with clotted cream and (strawberry) jam to go with the post as it is rather ‘picture heavy’ so I’ll give you a minute or two to get yourself prepared. All … Continue Reading
Venice is a city that easy to fall in love with. In a surprise move (a surprise mostly to myself), I decided that this post on Venice would be best presented through some of my favourite photos exploring the best places to see in Venice. Photos being worth a thousand words and all. I’m already … Continue Reading
And boy, did it rain in Palermo! Our trip to Palermo was one all four of us were looking forward to for ages. The Sicilian city, which I kept referring to as “The Old Country” thanks to The Godfather book (depending on which one you saw/read), promised to be warmer than London and so we … Continue Reading
Okay, I finally got around to looking through the Palermo photos (which I have to admit, I wasn’t looking forward to editing after all the rain we had that weekend) but it looks like quite a few of them turned out okay. Pheeeew! The good thing about having the rain was that it made it … Continue Reading
Palermo welcomed us to its ancient and historic city with rain. And not the kind of rain that you can ignore for a bit but the kind that carries on till it gets everywhere – in your shoes, your pockets, your bags – everywhere. And just when you think the rain has stopped, it starts … Continue Reading

Sardinia is one of the most stunning and diverse places in Italy to visit. Nestled in the Mediterranean, to the west of the mainland, it’s a relatively big island (as European islands go) and there are so many of the best things to do in Sardina dotted all across its coast and inland valleys. Obviously, … Continue Reading
Cinque Terre is one of those icon places in Italy that had been on my travel list for many many years (thank you, Pinterest). I probably recognised the pictures of the gorgeous Italian towns before I actually even knew their names. Determined to visit, we hurriedly booked flights over to Pisa and drove over to … Continue Reading
