Trek with Tech: Day 2 - The Heart of Rome (Part 1)

Hiya everyone! Boy, today was absolutely jam-packed, we haven’t stopped!

So glad I had this Italian latte blend this morning with my breakfast, it was lovely being able to sip on this whilst overlooking the Colosseum!

Afterwards, we jumped straight into exploring. We hiked our way to the wonder of the world and Tech clambered his way up to get a view of the Arena ⚔️✨

The view from the edge was lovely too - luckily there was still plenty of shade in some places!

Examined and read up on some ancient wonders - @phee-spirited would be jelly! 😂

Striking a pose whilst taking a quick rest 💅

Then we were off to stroll around the Vatican. Lord it was immense. We had no idea it was so big! Couldn’t explore it all in the time we had left in the end, but the gardens and the artwork displays were so beautiful…

Then we headed to the Basilica. Due to religious reasons, we were not allowed to take any pictures once inside the building (Tech switched his goggles off). But we were still able to take some brilliant shots of the impressive outside architecture! ✝️💫

Our day carried on right into the evening! Head over to part 2! ✨

Trek with Tech: Day 1 - Jetting off to Rome

Here it is! After much buildup, the first instalment of our Mediterranean journey! And boy, was the weather on our side right from the get go:

Not as dynamic as space travel, granted, but it was a lovely experience with a clear day that allowed for some breathtaking views of the French alps…

Treated myself to some duty-free perfume, which Tech then tried chatting up 😂

We got a bit nervous on the way up though… 🍸🍸🍸🍸

We finally made it to Italy!!!! 🇮🇹

Tech was very eager to explore the landmarks. I was a bit too drained from the early start and the airport runs to do too much walking about today though, so most of that will come tomorrow ✨

We had a lovely meal in a little local Roman restaurant…

Aperol spritz went down a storm!! 🍹

And the desert was gorgeous. “Gelato drowned in whiskey”. Though very boozy, I think Tech’s out for the count in that last one 😆

All’s well, we sobered up with some limonata on the balcony afterwards 😂

Tomorrow we hope to have a very thorough travel into the heart of Rome, exploring the Colosseum and the Vatican! Can’t wait!! ✨✨

Trek with Tech: Day 2 - The Heart of Rome (Part 2)

My feet were singing after walking around and studying so much, but my day didn't stop there! I booked a table at the Mirabelle, a wonderful restaurant that features balcony tables overlooking the Vatican. And the drinks were delicious!! 🍹

Tech and myself tried roasted octopus for the first time - the it is of acquired taste and the texture takes some getting used to, but overall? I could've eaten the plate all over again! 😋

A champagne cocktail with some freshly baked breads at dusk, overlooking the city lights... 🌃✨

And a simply delectable course of slow-cooked lamb loin. Honestly, we can't recommend this place's food enough!!

Oof!! So, so busy today. We were very cultured and very well-fed! Tomorrow will be another busy one - we board a huge cruiser on our way to Naples & Pompeii! Share more soon, off to rest up!!😙💫✨
