The Republic of San Marino



Within the borders of Italy, lies another country: the Republic of San Marino. We stayed the night in this small country and walked between its towers during the day.

Cinque Terra, Italia




We camped for two nights in the Cinque Terra region along the Mediterranean. The second day we hiked the Cinque Terra trail. Since we started the hike at noon in the hot, blazing sun, I refused to hike the last trail. We decided to eat lunch right along the Med and then took the ferry that docked adjacent to the restaurant to the last town of Monterosso al Mare. The picture I took is of town of Corniglia. However, my favourite town was Vernazza.

Venice, Italy

I took this picture of the Grand Canal in the Summer of 2008 in Venice, Italy. We spent two nights in Venice before, my boyfriend and I, took an independent tour of Italy.

After spending a week in Serre de Rappallano, located just outside of Siena, I met my boyfriend in Venice. After spending two nights in a wonderful B&B, which had a Harry Potter-like entrance, we took the train to the Cinque Terra Region. Each of us had our own Global Eurail Passes, which made trip very relaxed and worry-free.
