I is for Italy

In 2009, Paul and I had our first holiday together in Italy. Despite it being the middle of summer over there, it was an amazing trip.

  3. I never went inside the Vatican when I was in Rome and I've hardly seen anything else of Italy. You are really lucky and those are some great photos! :D

    Agreed with Sabrina; you look really cute in that hat.

  8. Oh yes, I've been to Rome for a school trip. It was so much fun, and the places we visited were amazing!
    And lovely how they have a bunch of ruins smack-dab in the middle of the city, eh?

    Also pretty obvious you went during the summer, it looks much busier than when we were there!

  10. I've only been to Italy once, and it's still the only country I've been to outside the UK. While the people I was with were not so good, the country itself was beautiful, and I will probably go back.

    1. It's actually the only country I've been to outside of the UK as well. That is if you exclude the city of Dublin lol!

  13. Wow, it looks more beautiful than I imagined! I would love to go sometime in spring because I don't know if I could handle Italy's heat in the summer lol.

  14. Ohhh Italy! I spent a month roaming round your beautiful shores and greenery!

    I'm so envious you made it to pompeii though! We stayed further north. Is it true you can see the skelingtons of the long dead people who died in the erruption? (i realise it is highly unlikely for that to be true! But i remember reading it somewhere and it stuck with me O_O) You look beyond adorable in that picture in the white hat >_< xoxoxox

    1. Aww that sounds like an awesome trip too though!

      If you look through the Pompeii slideshow you'll see bodies that they found. I have no idea if they found them like that and displayed them or prserved them in wax or something first =/

  15. Ooh! Love it. It's a dream of mine to visit ancient ruins. I hope it was inspiring. ;)
