We determined our last couple of days in Florence would be taken at a much slower pace. We've still walked and walked but with no real agenda.
Saturday we took advantage of the hop on hop off bus ticket we'd bought a few days prior, mainly with the ... Read more >

Our second big day out of Florence started even earlier than day one. A smaller group for this excursion, and even a couple of people that we toured with to San Gimignano etc. Quite a drive through the city, passing by towns and through some less populated ... Read more >

Our trip from Riomaggiore to Florence was uneventful. Our train moved away from the coast at a good pace for a regional train (about 145km top speed). The coastal plains receded and we made our way into and through the Tuscan landscape. Being a regional ... Read more >

Our airport transfer had us to Gatwick airport a little later than we'd have liked but after clearing immigration and security we still managed a coffee and a pastry before jetting away from England. The "mother country" had certainly shown us a good ... Read more >

Our Harry Potter day was just so special it deserves a journal entry to itself.

We got moving early and jumped onto our last first class British train. Off to London. A bit drizzly on arriving at Kings Cross station so we found a cab to take us the short drive to our hotel. We waited a while and were able to check our luggage in ... Read more >
