[Italy 2015 Trip Report] Day in Tivoli

Tivoli was one of my optional excursions in case I got bored in Rome, but it turned out I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. I also had the best lunch & best dinner on this last day, which ended the trip on a good note.

Sights visited: Hadrian's Villa, Villa d'Este

[Italy 2015 Trip Report] Reckless Amalfi

Amalfi Coast as a day trip from Rome is a very popular question on travel forums, because so many visitors to Italy are tight on time and still want to see everything. Is it doable? Yes. Would I recommend it? Hell no, and nobody should. Is it reckless? Definitely!

Sights visited: Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, Ravello (sort of but not really)

[Italy 2015 Trip Report] Soccer Fangirl in Rome

The main reason for my second Italy visit was to see Miroslav Klose in person before he retires. After months of planning and anticipation, I failed to do what I set out to do because of a series of unfortunate events. It was a heartbreaking experience, but I feel like I should write things as it.

Sights visited: Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, Stadio Olimpico, National Roman Museum, Centro Sportivo Formello

[Italy 2015 Trip Report] Cinque Terre is made for Hiking

Cinque Terre has a big name, and many people travel far to see these five villages along the Ligurian coast, lured by the many beautiful photos. What very few people mention was that these photos were taken from the trails, and it's a shame that so many visitors only used the train and missed out on the best views.

Sights visited: Manarola, Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia,  the Blue Path (SVA#2), Riomaggiore

[Italy 2015 Trip Report] Return to Rome

In my Italy trip report three years ago, I concluded that I would love to return to Italy. What I didn't anticipate was that I returned so soon! Apparently 5 cents were all I needed for the Trevi Fountain to work its magic.

Sights visited: Baths of Caracalla, Church of Domine Quo Vadis (Appian Way), Trevestere, Quattro Fontane, Borghese Gallery, Museo dell'Ara Pacis, Mausoleum of Augustus
