Doing 3 cities in 7 days was far too ambitious for our first Italian whirlwind of a trip but hey we did it and my feet are SORE!
Biggest accomplishments:
?? Finally walking the ancient streets of Pompeii and seeing the famous cast of the man who tried to get up in his last moments (so tragic).
?? Riding a gondola in the actual Venice canals (not the one in LA or the one in Vegas haha).
?? 30,000 steps a day (honestly v proud).
?? Seeing our friends tie the knot on the Amalfi coast (so romantic).
Biggest Travel Learnings:
?? Flats can still be extremely painful (women need better options for cute, comfy, dressy shoes).
?? Don’t travel without cash (oops).
?? Don’t travel without a debit card esp when you forgot the cash (let’s just say stressing out about not being able to pay for things in euros was 100% the backbone of this trip).
?? Always pack your personal bag with emergency undies, contacts, toothbrushes, skincare etc bc when we missed our connecting flight back to the U.S. due to a delay, we were stranded for the night in a foreign city with NOTHING.
Amalfi, Venice and Rome were so impressive – rich with history and bursting with stunning architecture, but it was A LOT to take in in such a short amount of time.
I need a vacation after this vacation ?
