I'll be honest and say that our 9-day trip in Italy disappointed me while I was there. I guess I had ridiculously high expectations of stumbling into amazing pizza place after amazing pizza place. Of seeing the Colosseum in all its grandeur. Of visiting ancient ruins that looked more than just a pile of rubble. Or maybe I just wasn't in the right mood. Because Italy IS more beautiful than how I felt about it when I was there - either way, I'm heading back instead of living my next few decades feeling so short changed about Italy and all the beautiful tales on it.
We covered Amalfi Coast, Rome, Cinque Terre, Florence and Venice. And while I actually have quite a few favourite moments and cities, my top pick would be Cinque Terre. Even though it was pretttyyy similar to Amalfi Coast, it was a lot more affordable with much better tasting food given the budget we had anyway. With the trip, I found myself in a love-hate relationship with hiking. Hate because hallo sweat/heat/tired/why life and love because the views were amazing and it helped to burn off the billions of calories we were consuming in Italy.
We spent our time town-hopping via hike and trains, eating gelato, contributing to their economy, and having an amazing time being in such a beautiful place.
What I'd do to go back :')
