Good morning from the Tuscany region of Italy
We sure had an adventure yesterday
We started we a fun little shopping trip to an outlet store - sweet stuff
Then we looked for a lunch restaurant that was a challenge it was there closing time
The ice cream shop owners were fabulous and phoned his buddies down the road and we walked over to his pizzeria
He stayed open late for us
Yhummy bruschetta, pizza lunch and cappuccino- now our tummies were full we were ready to head the road. Our documents said 284 km to our hotel less then 3 hours right oh yha lol
Maybe not he he it was more like a fun 5 hr adventure!!!!! (Just savouring it all truly)
From Venice to Tuscany region
Oh yes it was a ride I'll tell yha many many switch backs and numerous tunnels thru the mountains very very cool experience
We arrived at the Ferrari museum 15 min before they closed sigh
Soooo we thought okay let's see how far our hotel is - oh perfect it's 0km
uh yha don't think that was very accurate lol
Let see this was at 5:45pm
We arrived at our hotel region about 8:40pm
We could not find our hotel we did a little up the mountain and down the mountain detour
All in the adventure right lol we are all really enjoying our Italy trip -the girls took this rather long adventure really well and they were so supportive and we all just worked it( liked what Kayla said good thing we are fairly smart and that Renée navigates that GPS like a pro) lol
Oh wait the story doesn't end here( k we are a tad tired and pretty hungry by this time oh & we needed a washroom real bad lol- cause we hadn't stopped for a bathroom break since Venice he he)
So we finally found our hotel
And well ( remember we have been on the road since 3:15pm) - (we are ready to eat and relax- and holly molly that hotel -hum??? How do I say this nicely-hum??? He he
Oh yes that hotel would not be on top of my list of places to stay lol
It was less then desirable
Thank goodness for a travel agent - thank you Michelle
A phone call and a few texts later we were able to get another hotel
We did have another amazing dinner
Whow food in Italy is so delicious we may come home 12 pounds heavier lol this may be true but we have been doin tones of walking so I guess we are walking off the calories always good right he he
Soooooooooooo
That was Monday
Wonder what Tuesday will bring us uh?
Should be another fun day spent with Renée and Kayla
Have I said how much I love this?!
What beautiful memories that I will treasure forever! So blessed that I have a good business and that I have been able to work my buns off to earn such special moments (my 21 hour day Thursday before I left is truly paying off!)
So i will sign off for the day
Wishing you all a fabulous Tuesday
