Day Trip to Salvokia, Bratislava

Salvokia, Bratislava is a country I would have never thought I would visit let alone love.
We started our morning with an early train to Bratislava from Vienna. As you will find traveling through Europe, train travel is convenient and super easy to navigate. Even as a solo traveler or if you are traveling with small children. 
Bratislava is situated along the banks of the Danube River. One of Europes longest flowing river runs right through Bratislava. 
Thanks to its charm, picturesque old town, and history this city is a true hidden gem of Europe. 
After we arrived we headed straight to the main square. Bratislava's main square is Hlavné Namestie. This is the heart of the city. You will find cafes, restaurants, gift shops and so much more! 

                       
We made a quick stop into Doris cookies , the absolute BEST cookies! Make sure to stop inside you will not be disappointed. 


We made a stop to have a drink. Cheers🥂
We ended our day with a stop into Cafe Five Points- located in the old town center. A fun thing to do while at the cafe is to have a "Selfieccino" grab your phone and find your favorite picture. Your barista will magically make your photo into a delish frothy cappuccino. Such a fun way to end our day in Salvokia. 
Cafe Five Points 

Until next time Bratislava 💋☕️

Day trip to Tropea, Calabria

 

Ciao from Calabaria, Italy 🌺
Welcome to one of Italy's most picturesque towns. Tropea is located on Calabria's west coast. Known for its turquoise beaches, onions,  incredible views and so much more.
Our time spent in this well known destination did not disappoint. 
We started our morning with a traditional Italian breakfast at our hotel.
 Hotel L'Oasis Di Riaci is a beautiful hotel with lots of extra amenities. Large rooms, parking, friendly staff, delicious pool side breakfast, and an added bonus, access to the beach across the street. Another bonus is the AC was cold. If you have ever been to Italy in August, you know that it gets very hot and humid. 


Our hotel provides a driver that will take you across the street to the beach. You have access to the onsite restaurant and complementary lounge chairs during your stay.  
Make sure to enjoy the panoramic views before descending down to stunning the beach. 

Since moving to Italy, my favorite summertime dish is fried calamari and a Peroni (Local beer). 
Only a 10 minute drive from our hotel we visited the historic center  city of Tropea. The star of the show is the Santa Maria dell'Isola. This church definitely is the symbol of the city of Tropea. Surrounded by the sea it stands on a rock and is visible from many points of the city.  

During your time in the center of Tropea you will see cobblestone streets, small alleyway, restaurants and souvenir shops. 







After walking around the town we stopped into Frida Kahlo Restaurant for a drink and a bite to eat. We enjoyed our margaritas and nachos. Nothing better than enjoying an apéritif under the warm Italian sun. 




We ended our day in Tropea with a magical sunset. 
Cheers to memories that will last us a lifetime🥂💕

Day trip to Gaeta, Italy

 Reffered to as the city of "hundred churches", Gaeta is a seaside town located south of Rome. Our love for short roadtrips has brought us to this beautiful town with lots of charm. Gaeta is roughly two and a half  hour drive from Rome's center city. Our day began at Palm Beach Club. At  the beach club we rented our chairs and umbrellas; for a nominal price, you get access to their on-site restaurant and a shaded lounge chair. A huge plus for us since we did not bring chairs. The beach is stunning and the sand is ideal for a beach day. Here are a few photos of our trip to Gaeta Beach. 







We stopped in to have a quick apertivo before dinner. 

Our evening ended with dinner at La Tana Di Cagliostro. A simple yet, delish pasta meal was ordered by each of us. To be completely honest I do not remember the name of the dish we ordered. However, I do recall enjoying it. 

Grotta del Turco Named for its wide split in the rock that plunges into the sea. A staircase leads down to the Grotto. Once down in the grotto you will see a beautiful view of the ocean split between a large rock. 

Follow along for more day trips from Rome!

 Ciao from Gaeta💕🥂
