For the first time in over a week I was cold during the night – thanks to air conditioning. Unfortunately whilst waiting for the shuttle to the hotel I got eaten alive and my legs and most of my body is one big bite. Flying insects 1 – Charlotte 0. The day started with anContinue reading “Day 14: Exploring Venezia”

Waking up to a bit cooler temperatures was ideal for the journey back to Naples courtesy of our Fiat 500. After an emotional goodbye at the airport to Papa Wood, yes I cried like a baby it was time to start the solo adventure for real. First stop a day trip into Naples before myContinue reading “Day 13: Going solo got real.”

Day 11 The day started above the clouds and we decided to have another relaxing day. We headed back down to Capa di Conca for some sea, sun and aperol. After a little snooze from myself we unfortunately had to leave. There was a funeral in the town where we had parked and the policemanContinue reading “Day 11 & 12 : The heat/ humidity defeats us all”

Day 9 A day of doing nothing – it was what I needed. I felt like I had not stopped so it was a perfect day of book reading, football watching (Leeds and Tottenham) followed by a meal at Luca’s and probably one or two too many glasses of wine, along with some star gazingContinue reading “Days 9 & 10: Relax and all the P’s Positano, Praiano Prosecco, Pizza and Pasta”

After being woken up at 6.45 am by a screeching cat, it would’ve been rude not to take a picture of the sunrise. After dozing in and out of consciousness, I came up with the grand idea of walking down to Fiordo di Furore then catching the bus from there into Almalfi. Little did IContinue reading “Day 8: Fiordo di Furore & Almalfi”

A leisurely morning at the house, when you wake up to this view from your bedroom you are not really going to go anywhere too quickly. We then decided to hop into the car, Matt was driving, several hairpin bends later, a reverse up a 10% gradient, abandoning of the car, we ended up atContinue reading “Day 7: Capo di Conca & Minori”

Another early start awoken by a thunderstorm at 6.30 am. Where would you rather be during an electrical storm right above the airport? In the comfort of your own bed or in a flying aluminium can that conducts electricity 🤔. The plane courtesy of AirItalia was what I would describe as petite a city linerContinue reading “Day 6: Milan to Furore”

Another early start, this time 6.30, this allowed me to check out, leave my bag and get back to the Duomo for my 8 am entrance into the Cathedral. An iced coffee and a croissant set me up for the day. Before being allowed into the Duomo I had to buy a cape. I hadeContinue reading “Day 5: Duomo, San Siro, Como”

4.30 am wake ups are never ideal, but needs must. One way to start your holiday is to indulge in a mimosa! “All you mimosa fans let me hear you clap your hands” – brings me back to the Ardeche/ Med trip in year 11. Funny story – I only realised yesterday that I wasContinue reading “Day 4: Ciao Milano”

It’s always a bit daunting setting off on your travels flying solo – I’ve been to so many places “alone” but this trip may top it all. I will give you a bit of a back story to how this adventure came about. I was having a moment, feeling bored and wanting an adventure. SoContinue reading “Days 1-3: To Kent I go”
