The honeymoon

As I had a business trip less than 2 weeks after the wedding we decided to take a later honeymoon in August. So after months of planning and deciding where we would like to go and where could we get connecting flights too. The countries were Italy, Switzerland, Croatia, Hungary, Germany and Austria. The cities were Rome, Naples, Venice, Geneva, Dubrovnik, Budapest, Berlin, Vienna.

I know these catch up posts have been mostly pictures though there is not much I can blog about, they were happy times but the photos are much better <3

Venice was my favourite place, it was a lively city, food was expensive but there was so much to explore. Naples was the worst choice, getting to Pompeii was so expensive we didn't bother, we stayed in the old city which was rougher than a badgers arse. Italy I loved, allergy friendly on a whole for me at the minute, olive used even in pizza so I looked normal! Great place, though the locals were a bit rude especially in airports. I have Italian friends who are nice but maybe that's why they  left! haha.. who knows, I can only give you my own opinion on what we experienced.

Dubrovnik is lovely, it is expensive to get on the wall but a must. I am a massive Game Thrones Fan so I had to go and see it. It is very busy there in peak season, no where to be alone or relax but a few days doesn't drive you too crazy. Be prepared to carry your bags up hundreds of step stairs.  

Geneva, very small great place for a do nothing break, we did. Very expensive to eat here. 

Budapest, second visit. I love this city it's so vibrant, alive all hours, lite up at night, beautiful architecture and very cheap! perfect weekend break.

Germany, Berlin is my first proper city visit in Germany. I have to say I loved the city but the restaurant we went to wasn't good so then we found a pizza plan at night. 

Vienna, was pretty but too big to get any idea of it for a 2 day stay, would return it's pretty!
