Buongiorno my beauties!
I am so sorry for the quietness on this front however I have been away visiting the wonderful, eternal city: Rome! I loved wandering around the city in the sunshine pretending I was in The Lizzie McGuire Movie although sadly I was not mistaken for an Italian pop star and made to perform in front of thousands... c'est la vie!
I did however see the Pope up close and personal, see some perfect sights, soak in a lot of history and eat some delicious foods and see the world's cutest dog!
Here are some snapshots of our trip...
Summer skiesssss.
My dream car although to be frank there is no way in hell I would ever drive here, the lack of driving skill or awareness is no joke.
Inside Vatican City, look at the beautiful blue skies!!
See what I mean? I was not exaggerating. I officially have gone from being a cat lover to needing a chow chow dog in one trip.
In the land of gelato I will still always choose froyo. #faithful
But of a colossal sight here...
I'm sorry.
Who knew Rome had such beautiful parks?! It's not all pizza and piazzas!
Every single street was just perfection. Quintissential Italian charm and class. I've even got the typical Italian hand gestures! See the woman in the red jumper near the front?
Possibly the world's most beautiful restaurant?! Loved the purple flowers hanging down, can any florist out there identify them?
I don't even think Beyoncé would bring in this crowd at 9am on a Wednesday. Popular Popey!
Not the Trevi as it is shut for renovations (boo!) however proof that Rome is home to hundreds of beautiful fountains anyway. Every corner we turned round was a marvel and completely took my breath away.
So there's a little window into our Roman getaway! My boyfriend's the photographer of us two so once he's sorted his pictures I'll get them up here too!
It was just such a magical, historical feeling place and I already long to go back. Rome really struck a chord with me and I would love to explore more of Italy!
Have you ever been to Rome? Where else would you recommend in Italy? I've been to Venice so where should I tick off next? Florence? Pisa? Milan! The possibilities are endless!
Until next time,
Ciao!
