Italy, June 2010

Our wanderlust brought us to southern Europe this year, to the land of pasta and pizza for 12 days. It was also our 'real' honeymoon, so to speak. Why just Italy, you ask, and god forbid, why go during summer?! Heh.

Hey, if we survived 46 deg C in Dubai, what is a mere 30 deg? Plus, summer days are long and this gives us the perfect opportunity to enjoy the sights at a leisurely pace. Scrambling to outrun the sun setting at 3.00pm (eek!) is no fun at all.

Our itinerary was rather unique, that we started at the north in Milano and worked our way down to the south that is Roma.

During our journey, we were treated to soaring hills near the Swiss Alps, quaint islets on misty lake, Renaissance artistry that left us in awe that we stopped snapping photos of it because it just doesn't do the details justice, sea breeze that caressed our faces while we listened to the sound of waters lapping on banks of centuries old palazzo and piazzas, the marvels of ancient Roman civilisation that is so lovingly preserved...

Look ma, I'm not that short ain't I?

Summery blooms and bees hard at work at Como


Life is.. sitting at an alfresco pizzeria and grimacing at the price tag!
