Lost at Lake Como
A minute before we rolled into Varenna Esino station where we wanted to start our day at Lake Como, an announcement came up about walking to the front of the train as the railway was shorter at the station. We were at the last cabin of the train, and the announcement in English was broadcasted just as the train rolled to a stop.

A Christmas Weekend in Venice
We had high expectations for Venice, and the island did not disappoint. It was a surreal experience being in a city that "floats" without a single car or bus. But instead, waterbuses and water taxis were used. Just like a kelong - but bigger, grander, and way cooler.

First Time in Florence
We only spent 3 days in Florence - definitely not enough for a 'proper' visit to the beautiful capital of Italy’s Tuscany region! So we stuck with the top sites recommended by trusty travel sites and forums since we had so little time in the city. We'll definitely be back!

Roaming Rome Over 4 Days
So many things went wrong at the start of our very first trip since the COVID-19 pandemic hit 2 years ago. We received the news that Italy had banned Singaporean travellers from going into the country during our flight to Milan - on the very day we were arriving. Thankfully we managed to get through immigration without anybody stopping us! We were expecting to be turned back at the gate!
