Hello, London

It has been a crazy first week in London town. For our first days in town Lou and Pete tagged along and we all explored the city. We visited the expected touristy spots like Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, & Big Ben. When night time rolled around though we stopped by a few of the local pubs.

Hello, Parliament

The Queen wasn't home, so there was only this one lonely guard

A long stroll through Hyde Park. I didn't realize how big it is! Definitely got a blister or two.

My favorite Pub so far

Our first Pimms! I will be getting this drink a lot while I am in London. If a sangria and a mojito had a baby, they would make a Pimms. SO yummy!

Fried Brie

Serious Food Porn

On to the next pub- The King's Head

Our first few days in London have been perfect! I am so anxious to explore the city even more over the next few months. And although it was sad to see Mom and Dad leave, I know they are excited for us too. xoxo

Positano: Day 4

Our last day in Positano-so sad! To end our trip to Italy with a bang, we rented a 37-foot boat for the entire day and sailed to Capri. On the way there we enjoyed swimming in the clear, blue ocean, drinking a few cocktails, eating a picnic, and exploring the Blue Grotto!

Amazing submarine-looking yacht. According to our driver for the day, the owner spent over 100 million euros decking this boat out.

So many caves. We were allowed to swim in most of the ones we saw, but not this one. Looking back it does look a bit dangerous.

Tight squeeze!

Hey there!

Best meal I have had so far!!

The freshest/tastiest mozzarella ever. According to our driver all the best mozzarella comes from Capri.

Outside of the Blue Grotto! There was quite a line, but getting a peek inside the cave was worth the wait.

Clever.

Before going into the Blue Grotto we all had to squeeze into a tiny boat and find a way to lay down. Seems impossible, but we made it work.

So many people in line to get a glimpse inside!

If you were wondering why we all needed to lay down-this is why. The Blue Grotto is basically a cave where the water is ever prettier inside than it is outside. Soo in order to get into the cave, we had to fit ourselves through the tunnel first.
