Italy Trip - Rome, Florence & Venice

Italy has been one of the top places that I've wanted to visit for a long time (amongst many other places on my list haha), so during the Easter holidays, my boyfriend and I decided, as our first trip together, to travel to Italy! :D We visited 3 places~ Rome, Florence and Venice (in that order). We flew from Stansted Airport to Rome and stayed there for 4 days, then travelled by train to Florence and stayed there for 3 days, then lastly visited Venice by train for 2 days. It was one heck of a journey with all that travelling, but it was worth it as the places were so beautiful! My favourite place has to be Rome though; everything just looks so authentic, and there were just so many attractions to see, such as the Colosseum and Trevi Fountain, to name a few. We could've spent a whole week there exploring and wouldn't be bored! Florence is known to be a romantic place to visit but there was not as much to see compared to Rome, so a few days there was enough for us. Venice was also lovely, and taking a boat ride around Venice is a must! But everything there was pretty expensive ><
Although we only spent 9 days altogether in Italy, it was a great trip and we'd definitely want to visit it again! We also planned on visiting the Leaning Tower of Pisa but unfortunately we couldn't make it as I was feeling unwell during that time, so we'll have to save that one for another time :)
Overall, Italy has impressed me and the people there were so friendly and welcoming. But I've had enough of eating pasta and pizza for a while ;) The coffee was amazing in Italy, UK just can't compare!
More details on the individual places of Rome, Florence and Venice coming up soon!

Love,

A quick update

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been blogging for a few months as I have just had too much work to do during my final year at university with coursework, dissertation and exams! It has been so full on, but it's finally all over and I can now relax! (until the job searching begins...). I still have yet to know my results and hopefully be able to graduate, so fingers crossed! My blog has been a little neglected, but now I am back and getting it up and running again! :D I have so much to share with you guys, such as the trip to Italy with my boyfriend - which I will be blogging about soon, so keep an eye out!

Here is a throwback to last summer, when we went to Cornwall!
This was taken in a place called 'Mousehole' XD haha it was a small but cute town :P You can also find this image and other Cornwall pictures on my Instagram :) I haven't planned anything for this summer yet, but we shall see... sometimes the best things come unexpectedly!

With love,

Carissa xxx
