A romantic honeymoon in Italy

WE
ITALY

We have never been to Europe and after much thought we have decided to get past our jilted nerves and start our married life out with a big adventure!

First Stop: Milan

This is going to very different from Santa Cruz!

Molto Bene!

Next stop the Cinque Terre:
Could not be more excited by this!
We will most likely be staying in La Spezia and then taking the bus/hiking into the surrounding cities of the Cinque Terre.

The most fantasy-fulfilling stretch of the fabled Riviera lies not in France, but just across the border in Italy between Genoa and Pisa.

The Cinque Terre (CHINK-weh TAY-reh, which means "five lands") is a series of villages clinging to a remote stretch of the Riviera coastline. Each town is a variation on the same theme: a pastel jumble of homes crouching in a gully like crusty sea creatures in a tide pool, undisturbed by traffic or modern development.

Then :Siena!

SIENA: Surrounded by olive groves and the vineyards of Chianti, Siena is one of the most beautiful cities of Tuscany. Set on three hills, the city is drawn together by winding alleyways and steep steps, whilst the Piazza del Campo stands at its heart, and the Duomo and St Maria della Scala serve as additional cultural landmarks. Famed for the "Palio", the annual historic horse-races that take place on 2 July and 16 August, it is also home to one of the oldest Universities in Europe, which ensures a vibrant Italian student atmosphere throughout the academic year. In addition to the bustling daily life of the streets and squares of the city, Siena offers many cultural events, concerts, cinema, theatre and a wide range of sporting activities.

Yay!
We will be spending a majority of our time here walking, relaxing, and living the romantic life :)
Much Thanks to Brian & Kristine for the recommendation!

And we will be ending our stay in Rome:

A.K.A : la città bella di Roma!

It's going to be very hard to leave this place.



So excited!!!!

  2. It sounds familiar, right? Italy, of course. According to one of them here is where the mythic sirens dwell. A stunning place, Goa is where proud women still make pasta fresh every day, or where goat herders eat homemade cheese and farmers boast of fresh produce. goa honeymoon tour packages
