We made it… getting up early, we jumped on the regional train. It was so much better than expected. We had plenty of room to sit AND for our suitcases! One night in Trieste and on to “Part Two” of our journey!

Generally, the theme of our travels so far… eat, eat, eat! With restaurants everywhere, it is constant temptation to try something new. Here is an appetizer that we both loved! Mounds of prosciutto, covering fresh burrata and sliced pears. Great combo…
After an action-packed visit to Florence, it is time to move on to Venice.
With the day only have finished… we crossed the famous Ponte Vecchio (old bridge). It was extremely crowded (a pickpocket’s dream!). Lined with jewelry shops, I barely stopped to take photos because I didn’t want to be caught off guard. Instead, a single photo from the top of the bridge…
Starting “early” (9am) with coffee at a cafe… then several stops to keep us on the move. Check out all the places we visted!
Florence is the capital of the Tuscany region. Since we have time, we decided to check out some of the nearby areas.
What is a visit to Florence without delicious pizza!?!?!? So far, every meal has been incredible… wine is flowing… people are amazingly friendly. At a nearby eatery, this pizza had a nice, thick crust and the cheesiest cheese!
A rolling stone gathers no moss… so onward we go! Taking the train from Rome to Pisa!
Success! We made it to Italy… one night in Rome to adjust to the time change and we will be off for other towns!
