We left Tuscany, Italy this morning with 1050kms ahead of us before arriving back in France. We stopped in some beautiful little villages on the way, however, their beauty was about the only enjoyable part.
The port was absolutely stunning, but expensive! It cost us €11.00 for 1 hour of parking, and €44.00 for a lasagna (which was only two noodles) and a small piece of chicken. I really liked a specific scarf, when I asked how much it costs the answer was... €550. Fair to say we didn't stay very long.
We enjoyed relaxing by the ocean with a nice mist and then made our way to Milan, Italy! There were two main reasons for traveling to Milan: shopping and the massive basilica!
The photo does not do this basilica justice, for its beauty and mass are truly unique! There was a lot of people in Milan, but this was probably the first Italian city we hit that was pleasant and more or less relaxed.
The city centre was massive and there was an amazing selection of stores from super expensive to average prices. Italy is definitely great for clothing and style and was a nice experience that slimmed the wallet haha. We enjoyed our time in Milan, however, on our way back to the car, which was parked about 25 minutes away, we were caught in a horrible storm. At first we had hail and then an intense downpour. When we got to the car we were so soaked I had to remove my shoes to empty them. I actually quite enjoy the rain and being caught in it was a nice experience... definitely refreshing.
We were so eager to finally be heading back to France and permanently leaving Italy. The mountains were a sight for sore eyes when we finally reached them again! From this trip I definitely learned I am more of a country girl than a city girl. When i'm out in the woods and mountains I feel so at peace and tranquil.
The journey across Europe may be completed, but there is still much to do on our itinerary in France and its surrounding areas. We enjoyed a gorgeous sunset for our return home, and we're welcomed with open arms when arriving.
Stay tuned for more awesomeness in the coming days! Let's hope the good weather follows me back home to Canada!
