Next stop the popular Amalfi Coast where we wanted to explore the volcano Vesuvius and the buried village of Pompeii.
Rome: The Vibrant Eternal City
All roads lead to Rome – so the old saying goes and the Eternal City was indeed a stop on our trip back up through Italy.
Dubrovnik: Game of Thrones and City of Many Steps
The last leg on our journey through Croatia was Dubrovnik, located on the south-east coast and known as the Pearl of the Adriatic.
