Destination # 1: Rome

We arrived in Rome Italy heavily jet lagged. To overcome a restless night, the key is to stay up till your normal bedtime on Italy's time. Luckily, Rome is filled with many sights to see, stores to shop, and food to indulge in. With only two weeks to see all of Italy, We only spent three days in Rome and visited all the sights in one day!

Tip: The best way to see all of Rome is doing a bus tour where you are allowed to go on and off every location, spend time admiring the sights, and go back on your way to another.

In less than five hours, I was able to ....
Tour the Colosseum
Made a wish in the Trevi Fountain
Admired the Spanish Steps
and visit some of Rome's historic ruins

with doing all of these sights in one day, we had more time to admire the inner streets of Rome and fit in some much needed shopping.

The Secret of Rome​ ​

From my own discovery, my number one recommendation while visiting Rome, is having dinner in front of the Colosseum and seeing the light show in the Colosseum during after hours.

My Recommendation: If you want the best food in Rome, eat at Gran Caffe Martini e Rossi for the best experience and service and not many know about the light show in the Colosseum after hours so have the whole colosseum to yourself and watch the historic arena come to life for just one night.

Destination #2 : Vatican City

Whether you are a devoted Catholic or interested in historic art and sculptures, the Vatican City is filled with the most breathtaking pieces and monuments enriched with fascinating stories behind every detailed. The Vatican City is home to the most art pieces in the world and pieces that can never be recreated.

Tip: Although there are many tours offered within the city, the Vatican City Is heavily filled with tourists and can be very easy to get lost from your tour guide (trust me it happened to me). I found it more enjoyable to go at my own pace and admire each piece of art on my own time rather than be worried if I adventured to far from my tour guide.
In one day
- I toured the Sisteen Chapel
- Payed respect to all the popes of the Catholic Church in the St. Peter's Basilica
- And was blessed by the pope at the public benediction

A Thousand Steps To Heaven

Not many know that one can climb all the way to the tip of the Duomo of St. Peter's Basilica. Just a discloser, someone who is afraid of enclosed spaces, lack of air, or heights should probably not do this expedition to the tip, but the journey is worth it. after climbing exactly 551 steps to the top, on can not only view and a 360-degree view of the Vatican City but of Rome and beyond! Don't bother hitting the gym if you plan on completing this journey, your Apple Watch will complete your exercise ring in the first twenty steps to the top!

Destination #3 : Sorrento

This next voyage was a different scene from the city of Rome and was heavily influence from Spanish architecture and the finest tropical views. In two days I was able to try the finest cuisine and travel Capri, Positano, and Mermaid Islands all in one day! How did I do it?

Capri, Calamari, Coffee, Mamma Mia!

This day is probably one of my favorite days on the whole trip! Two weeks seems like a long time in Italy but with only three days in Sorrento, it seems impossible to even adventure to another island, But Mamma Mia Boat Excursions made all of my dreams come true!

I have NEVER experienced such great service and recommend this service to anyone that wants the best view of the coast. The day started off with a wonderful car service to the arena and after a wonderful day so you don't have to worry about transportation. All boat drivers know the area like the back of their hand and can take you to private islands you would never even dream of going to such as the mermaid islands, rides through the caves, shopping in Positano, and the best seafood in the world! Mamma Mia also provides the best service and makes all your dreams come true! They go the extra mile and made memories I will never forget!
