Bordeaux! All we knew about Bordeaux is that it's famous for its wine, and we were extremely surprised & impressed by the beautiful city! The whole place is stunning, the buildings are all built in the same sandy coloured stone, with the same dark grey roofs and cute pitched windows. It's really something else! There's a stunning fountain that we instantly fell in love with, and kept going back to and just sitting there. We arrived in at 11.30am on Friday an...

Monday morning we enjoyed a sleep in before heading to Nice's beach- so blue and beautiful. It's my blog photo b...

La Spezia for the Cinque Terre! Cinque Terre is five towns all along the coast of Italy joined by a long walk that attracts loads of tourists. The towns are stunning and so colourful, like my blog photo. It's one of the places I'd heard amazing things about and was so excited for. We arrived there on Friday afternoon and checked into our accommodation in La Spezia- our drop off town and about an 8 minute train ride to the first town of the Cinque Terre. We had lo...
