Coniglio – Bunny, in Italian!
-
-
Helloooo Italy!
-
-
The drive was cloudy, but still beautiful!
-
-
We arrived at our hotel in Sestri Levante later that afternoon.
-
-
I went for a walk around the grounds – check this pool out!
-
-
View was incredible.
-
-
Jurassic Park?
-
-
-
Beautiful.
-
-
-
-
Went for a little walk before dinner.
-
-
Went to El Pescador – Mmmm GNOCCHI… and some dead animal.
-
-
Pesto. all. over. my. body. please. now.
-
-
Goodbye, Sestri Levante – I’ll be back!
-
-
One last tan session.
-
-
We made our way from the coast of Italy on over to Tuscany. First we stopped at San Gimignamo.
-
-
San Gimignano is a small walled medeival city in the heart of Siena. Architecture was pretty sweet!
-
-
The food was pretty Delicious too!
-
-
Mmmm this bunny loves bruschetta!
-
-
-
-
Lots and lots of people around!
-
-
-
This VIEW!
-
-
In love.
-
-
So apparently boars are… plentiful here in Italy… and delicious? I didn’t want to eat her though, she was too cute 😉
-
-
It was just a short drive from San Gimignano to our hotel in Montepulciano – the San Bruno Relias hotel. This is my room!
-
-
It was perfect.
-
-
-
Tub time!
-
-
I somehow was just constantly hungry everywhere I went in Italy. I couldn’t resist all the deliciousness. This place was just up the hill from our hotel – La Grotta.
-
-
-
Except maybe THIS. Holy COW – RABBIT?!?!?!? … Sad times.
-
-
Sucks for that bunny. But not for this bunny!
-
-
YUM.
-
-
Vino in my belly.
-
-
After being on the road for a little over a week, it was time to do some laundry. This magical contraption looks interesting though…
-
-
Ohhhh, duh. It’s a tanning bed! Of course! So nice for the laundromat to have a bunny-sized tanning bed ready for me.
-
-
I tossed some laundry in the machine…
-
-
… then went nextdoor for a yummy beverage while I waited.
-
-
After laundry, I went for a cruise around the town.
-
-
Montepulciano was pretty awesome.
-
-
-
My friend.
-
-
All those are made from the olive treest around here!
-
-
Rainbow pasta!
-
-
-
-
-
-
It just never gets old.
-
-
-
The grounds at the hotel were beautiful.
-
-
-
It was just below Montepulciano.
-
-
-
San Bruno Relais had its own little vineyard.
-
-
Olive trees too!
-
-
This was my favorite part.
-
-
Gettin’ my tan on in Tuscany!
-
-
Ahhh
-
-
I think I used this once. That’s it.
-
-
-
I was a little crispy from my previous session at the tanning bed, but I didn’t care.
-
-
-
That night, we went to Il Covo – probably my favorite place to eat during the whole trip.
-
-
This was yummy! – Vin santo, a dessert wine that you dip biscotti in.
-
-
This was the owner of Il Covo, he was awfully nice.
-
-
-
The next day, we went for a little more roadtripping around Tuscany to each of the little villages.
-
-
-
-
-
-
I had to go potty after my walkin’ around.
-
-
… nevermind. WHAT IS THIS?!
-
-
Castle!
-
-
Beer.
-
-
I always make time for lunch.
-
-
Mushroom Ravioli!
-
-
This was a thermal bath in San Filipo.
-
-
The water was like bath water!
-
-
Pretty neat.
-
-
So much green!
-
-
-
-
It was time to say goodbye to Tuscany…
-
-
… and goodbye to my friends at the San Bruno Relias Hotel.
-
-
Next stop – Florence!
-
-
-
SO big.
-
-
Lots of people at the leather market – purses everywhere! Just what I don’t need.
-
-
Beautiful view from my hotel room.
-
-
-
As usual, dinner time.
-
-
This was definitely one of my favorite dishes the whole trip – prosciutto and melon.
-
-
Can’t go wrong with Spaghetti.
-
-
I was SO excited to see the David!
-
-
The line was long.
-
-
But, well worth it.
-
-
This is the Ponte Vecchio bridge –
-
-
– which led me to lunch 🙂
-
-
Pesto pizza!
-
-
Red pizza! The best pizza.
-
-
Florence was beautiful at night.
-
-
Cars my size were everywhere!
-
-
I capped off Italy with a delicious, final dinner at Osteria Vini e Vecchi Sapori – only about 15 tables in the whole place.
-
-
More Vin Santo!
-
-
Our waiter was very loving. He liked this bunny a lot!
-
-
Goodbye, Florence.
