This is definately my motto!!! :) |
According to this sentence it was time to for me to travel again! :) This time I traveled to Italy in September 2013. My friend, Annina, and I were planning this trip right after returning home from Australia/Thailand. We couldn’t wait for our next trip to come :D For this reason we worked very hard the whole summer to earn some money which we wanted to spend right afterwards on another journey :)
So the 31st
of August was our last working day. On the 2nd of September our trip
started. Our first destination was Rimini. We wanted to visit some friends down
there as we have worked there in summer 2011. Two friends from Tyrol, who
worked with us in Rimini in 2011, came with us. We spent 4 awesome days in
Rimini and met all our former workmates. It was great fun! Nothing has changed. After 4 days Annina’s and my trip
went on. Our next destination was Rome!! We bought a special ticket for the
train where we had been able to travel on 8 different days, but on 1 travel day you are allowed to change the train as often as you want. It cost about
200€ and was valued for 1 month. We had to write down the date of each travel
day.
Finally we
arrived in Rome! :) I always wanted to see Rome that’s why I was
really looking forward to this day. Rome really lived up to all my
expectations. It is a wonderful city. As we only had 5 days in Rome we literally did
hardcore-sightseeing! We got up very early in the morning and spent the whole
day walking from one sight to the other. But it was really worth it. We got to
see the famous Coliseum, the Spanish Steps as well as the Trevi Fountain and the Vatican.
The next
city we visited was Florence. Florence is a beautiful city with lots of young
people. We had a little bit of bad luck in Florence as it was raining on one
day.
From Florence we took the train straight to Pisa to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa. And it was really a LEANING tower. As Pisa is a very little city and the only thing you can see there is the tower we just spent one day in this very touristy place.

But the best place hasn’t come yet! It was our next
destination. Cinque Terre! Apart from the beautiful 5 little villages which are
built directly by the sea with its colorful houses we met amazing people in
Cinque Terre. Most of them from countries far away like Australia, New Zealand
and the US. There were about 25 people in one of the small little villages in
Cinque Terre called Riomaggiore. I actually met more Australians on my trip
through Italy than in Australia. Well, at least I met some Australians in the
end ;)
After just
3 amazing days in Cinque Terre we took the next train to Milan, the city known
for its fashion. SURPRISE SURPRISE, we went shopping there!
Our final
destination was Verona, the city of Romeo & Juliet. We saw the famous
balcony as well as the bronze statue of Juliet.
Nearly 3
weeks long was our great trip around Italy and we got to know many fantastic
people from all over the world.
Another great journey definately will come soon… :)
