As a self confessed carb-a-holic Italy is definitely one of my favourite places in the world. Nothing beats the great architecture, beautiful landscape and tasty food. Back in September 2012 I was lucky enough to attend a stunning wedding in the Amalfi Coast. Despite the weather not being fantastic (it rained so hard when I was changing buses from Naples that the clothes in my suitcase were soaked through!) there is no denying the Amalfi Coast is a beautiful part of the world.

 |
| Surely one of the coolest tunnels in the world? |

 |
| Hurray! The sun finally makes an appearance. |
 |
| Double rainbow spotted on the way back from Capri! Such a shame everyone else was too seasick to appreciate it. |
 |
| Capri market square, a good place to rest if you have spent all your money in the designer shops |
 |
| Do visit Capri if you have a day free, the Beverly Hills of Italy! |
As with the rest of Italy, the food (when avoiding tourist traps) no matter how plain or simple was delicious! Don't believe me? Just take a look at the pictures.
 |
| There is a cute little alleyway that has a fab cake place! See, it's not all bad when it rains. At least I discovered Dolceria dell'Antico Portico |
 |
| Decisions Decisions.. |

Luckily for me, I even had time en route back to the UK to stop off in Rome, truly one of the most romantic cities in the world. Even thought it was only a couple of hours I managed to squeeze in a slice of pizza, pasta and gelato! All in the name of research of course.

 |
| One of the tourist traps I mentioned. Looks tasty but tasted bit odd.. |
 |
| My Rome stop off was topped off by a much needed Gelato |
 |
| I have no idea where this sandwich starts or ends.. |
Ciao for now!
