Italy

We headed off to Italy early on Thursday morning. The flight was smooth but at about 4 hours, it was draining but at least there was a few of us on the flight, myself, Tasha, Finn, Patricia, James and Maeve.

It was a shock stepping off the plane into the heat but it was tolerable and once we put on sunscreen we never had any problems.

Next was a taxi to the Roma Termini train station (where we grabbed a beautiful fresh salad lunch) then train to Chiusi station and finally a taxi to Chiusi. We had no particular issues with any of these connections, although the taxi rides were "exciting".

We arrived in Chiusi and booked into our hotel which was simple but clean and comfortable & the staff were very helpful.

Friday was spent exploring Chiusi, taking in its spectacular vistas, charming shops & delicious food.

Full details of the wedding itself can be found here.

The next day we all met up again for dinner to congratulate the newlyweds before they went off for their honeymoon in Sorrento.

Sunday morning we headed off to Rome with James and Maeve. We had a good wander around the various fountains and sights, grabbed our first pizza since arriving in Italy before travelling onto our accommodation.

Monday we all headed for the airport for a more reasonably time flight back to Dublin.
