Monopoli, Italy

Who wants to play see Monopoli ??  Of course you are going to want to see Monopoli and maybe in fact you will get the chance to play Monopoly in Monopoli! Unfortunately we didn’t since we were only there for one night.  Upon arrival, we were dropped off right at the walls of Old Town and we were able to walk to our B&B.  The town of Monopoli is a fishing town that dates back to 500 B.C.   The town was explained to us as quaint..which it was, but I would have to say it felt bigger than Polignano a Mare.  Still the narrow cute streets, shutters and flowers but more people filled the streets at night.  Scroll down more to find out about our 36 hours in Monopoli.

Dublin Spring 2019

 

Last time we were in Dublin, it was winter time, cold, rainy and dark for the majority of the day.  We still had a great time, but this visit was especially perfect because we had sunshine, blue skies, and warm weather! Having only 2 days in Ireland, we made the most of it – visited Book of Kells (since it was closed last time), National Gallery of Ireland and Merrion Square.  The highlight of the trip was our hike from Bray to Greystones.  Find out more below about our trip to the coast!

London Summer 2018

We’ve been to London in the Winter, Spring, Fall and now we got to experience this brilliant city in the Summer! What a great time to be there – Wimbledon, World Cup and British Summer Time Festival.  Oh and the weather – 80 degrees and no rain!  THE BEST!!! We enjoyed wearing our sun dresses walking down Kings Road and Marylebone High Street.  This trip we spent more time Chelsea and Marylebone and less time in the touristy areas. Chelsea and Marylebone are chic, local boroughs that are populated with restaurants, shops, residences, farmers markets and night life.  Find out what we did in this post!

Our day trip out to Lisse was such a fun adventure – check it out!
