We arrived in Rome at the start of our Italy trip and did a
whirl wind tour of St. Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican museum, the Sistine chapel,
the Roman forum, Palatine Hill and the Colosseum. We
ate pizza and pasta every night and gelato about two to three times a day. Our health meter was not great and when we
arrived in Florence it became evident.
When we got to Florence both Adam and I fell sick so our time spent in Florence was not crazy active. We saw Michelangelo’s David along with a couple art museums filled with frescos. We spend a day going to the Cinque Terra, which is a set of villages along the sea that are only reached by hiking in-between or train. We were disappointed to find that the hiking trails were closed due to major flooding that occurred during the winter in all the cities but we took the train and fully enjoyed these quaint little towns admits the afternoon snow. On the way home we stopped at Pisa just as it started getting dark.
