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.
