More vacation posts! Just a little bit late – this is from last summer. We spent a day exploring the Vatican when we were in Rome. It was incredible. I have never seen anything quite as impressive. We did a tour – which meant we got in St Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel without [...]

I am breaking up Rome in two. The next part will be Vatican City. We spent 4 nights in Rome. It was just enough time, but not enough time too. The most impressive thing I saw on the trip was the Colosseum. It was so impressive and amazing walking around it. The city was beautiful [...]

We took the train from Venice to Florence. We spent 5 nights in Florence. As soon as we stepped out of the train station we saw this beautiful old church and knew right away we would love Florence! Everywhere you looked in Florence things were old and beautiful. The Basilica of Santa Maria Novella. This [...]

We left Nice and flew to Venice on a cute little plane. It even had propellers! Venice. The most beautiful city in the world. It was breathtaking. But once you get your breath back – that’s it. It’s notorious for overpriced bad food, smelliness and there’s not a whole lot to do there. I do [...]

Nice was one of my top 3 favourite places in Europe. Our first look at the beach was at night. But we also went there during the day. Pretty much every day we were there Our hotel lent us mats and beach towels. You could rent chairs, but they cost 18 Euros per person per [...]

After nursing Tim back to health in Madrid, we were ready to live it up in Barcelona! We had a fantastic hotel that greeted us with some cava (sparking wine) – from that first glass of wine I knew I would love Barcelona Our hotel room was very pretty and modern. Too bad the magazine was in Spanish! We did [...]
Madrid – The Short and Sick Version

The title pretty much sums it up. The first couple days in Madrid we planned to lay low and get some much needed rest! We were also a bit cultured out, so decided for forsake some museums in return for reading in the park during the days. We had a fantastic hotel – our “room” [...]
Paris

Day 1 We left London on a Eurostar train – I thought a high speed train would be a cool entry to a cool city. And only through the Chunnel was something I wanted to do. It was quick and fast and Tim slept the whole way Ah Paris. The place of love and romance [...]

Day 1 Tim and I took the red eye from Halifax to London at 11:45 pm June 30th. After a 5.5 (+) hour direct flight (during which I did not sleep a wink because I was so excited) we arrived! Due to the 4 hour time change, it was about 9:45 am by the time [...]
