After my week in the province of Pescara, Italy, I headed to the Amalfi Coast, located just below Naples. It was an area of Italy I hadn’t visited before and I had heard so many times how gorgeous it is. I took the bus from Pescara to Naples and, from there, caught another bus to…
The Path of the Gods (Sentiero Degli Dei) is a hiking trail on the Amalfi coast stretching between Agerola and Positano on the Amalfi coast in Italy. I was staying in Agerola so I began there, finding the trail through a crack in the town square (Bommerano area). I actually hiked a third of the…
The adventure continues from Part 1 of my trip to the province of Pescara, Italy in September to photograph Serena and Marco’s wedding…. I took the photo below at the church where Serena and Marco got married, when they first showed it to me a couple days before the wedding. The church, built in 1007,…
Staying in the cute little town of Spoltore, in the province of Pescara, Italy, a few days before and after Serena and Marco’s wedding was such a great experience. It was an area of Italy I hadn’t explored before and as I mentioned in Serena and Marco’s wedding blog post, their friends and family were…
Portofino, Italy was another one of my awesome day trips I did while staying in Cinque Terre. Portofino is an adorable tiny town on the coast of Liguria. The bus ride to Portofino is an experience in itself. It was super busy and I had to stand in the aisle… or should I say, “surf”…
My Dad and I stayed in the beautiful Ligurian coastal town of Levanto for the last leg of our father/daughter Italy trip while we explored Cinque Terre. Levanto has a convenient spot right next to the last town of Cinque Terre, Monterosso and is even included in the Cinque Terre train day passes. We stayed…
While staying in Levanto (near Cinque Terre), I did a day trip to Lucca, Tuscany. What a cute city! First I rented a bike, and rode it around the ramparts enclosing the old part of town. It was so beautiful biking through rows of trees lining the ramparts, while looking down into the historical streets…
Now that wedding season is over, I’ll be doing more blog posts from my trips to Italy this past year. Some colour for the winter months! : ) Cinque Terre…. definitely one of my top three favourite places in Italy. This was my third time that I’ve been to Cinque Terre and I’m sure I’ll…
I’m slowly but surely getting these last few Italy posts up in between weddings. : ) I have a few more to come as well! My Dad and I’s next stop after staying in southern Tuscany was to stay at Romitorio di Serelle, a 17th century monastery that has been completely refurbished into a villa….
Pienza and Val d’Orcia…… wow, what a day trip! If you have ever looked at a Tuscany calendar, chances are quite a few of the photos in it were taken in Val d’Orcia. It is breathtakingly picturesque – I think we stopped every 10 feet to take in the view and snap a photo. We…
Sorano and Pitigliano are only about 8kms apart and are equally stunning and unique. My jaw completely dropped when I saw both of these towns from afar. It’s insane seeing these two cities rising right off of the cliffs. They’re a part of these cliffs and just seem to blend out of them into the…
My first glimpse of Pereta was when I was 18. The family I was au-pairing for took me here to a friend’s pizzeria for dinner one night. I remember rounding a corner and seeing a cemetery just outside of Pereta and gasping at how beautiful it was. Each gravestone had a small light on it,…
