So in one of his more questionable moves, Brett asked me (me=Becca) to write up one of the posts about our trip. This is questionable because he’s painfully familiar with my sense of humor, which mostly consists of atrociously corny dad jokes that don’t make anyone laugh but me. So if you hate this post, it’s his fault, […]
Man! Kotor! This is the last stage of the trip, which means that I’ve nearly finished writing about it it, but also means the trip is nearly over. Also, it means that the category for these posts is now incorrect, as the third country has been added. Oh well. Montenegro was always part of our […]
Someone suggested the other day (you know who you are) that it seems like I didn’t enjoy Croatia. Which isn’t the case. What I think happened is that I don’t enjoy crowds, and Croatia being so lovely, there are a lot of people, a lot of crowds, a lot of non-enjoying Brett. But whenever we […]
So here’s the deal. I don’t disklike Dubrovnik. It’s a charming city. Everything is white and the stone streets shine from hundreds of years of footsteps polishing them. There’s a wide variety of old buildings- some are a little taller, some are a little shorter. There are churches and stuff. But.. I don’t love it. […]
Making like a tree and leaving; Vela Luka / Gradina Bay, Korcula
Sunday , 13, July 2014 Italy/Croatia 2014 Leave a commentKorcula. Were I a less lazy man, I would put the little hat on the ‘c’- it’s an affricate, but not the affricate that you think it is. Well, you probably don’t think it’s an affricate, or don’t care, or like, whatever, but the point is that I am lazy and the ‘c’ should be […]
I figured Zadar was a sleepy little port with two restaurants and a quaint old town area and that’s the ballgame. I was way off. It’s a party town with a bazillion restaurants and flashing lights and people selling things, etc, etc. And if I hadn’t spent all day walking through an amazing forest with […]
That’s a stretch/groan of an allusion to tPB, jsyk. Anyhow, we didn’t, you know, spend the entire time in Florence at the Uffizi. We could have. After we had decided we were all arted out for the afternoon and thought we had seen most of what we wanted to see, we still had to walk for ten […]
Wednesday was spent mostly at the Uffizi. No, that’s a lie, but we spent a lot of time there. Including waiting in a long, slow line. Apparently you really should take everyone’s advice and book early to cut down on waits. We did not. We waited in a line. But there was good company, so […]
Lucca-t these photos! Like, Look at these photos- they were taken (mostly) in Lucca! I’m falling behind, as I do, but we’re just finishing breakfast so I figured I’d post some photos (out of order, alas). Yesterday we left La Spezia and drove to Florence, stopping in Lucxca. We didn’t intend to stay long, just […]
This post has been really hard to write. Mostly because I’ve been busy and there hasn’t been successful internet connections, but also because it was just hard to write about. Because Cinque Terre is amazing, and because it was very nearly a terrible day. It started off bad. We woke up early to move our […]
