A roadtrip in Tuscany, Italy
Aug 15, 2023
The 15th August is a bank holiday in France! Gizem and I rented a car to visit Tuscany for a few days. We went to Florencia, San Gimignano, Lucca, Pisa, and Bologna. It was amazing, we loved the food and this area is so beautiful! Here are the few pictures of our trip.
Florencia
We stayed only a few hours there, as we were driving from Bologna's airport to San Gimignano.
San Gimignano
We stayed in a little fortified town called San Gimignano. It's on top of a hill, which offers an amazing view on all the surroundings! It's made of small alleys for pedestrian only, and all stones are several centuries old. I definitely recommend to stay there a night if you have the opportunity 😊
Gizem, bella come la giornata ❤️
La nonna italiana
This was the view from the hotel's restaurant! We had some breakfast there, an nice Italian lady cooked amazing eggs for us.
Pisa
From San Gimignano, we drove to Pisa and stayed a few hours. I had some carbonara, we wait a little to get seated and get our food, but it was definitely worth the wait. I should have taken a picture of these carbonaras, I miss them a little.
This place was really crowded
The restaurant with the carbonara is on the right
Lucca
From Pisa, we took the car to stay in Lucca for the night. This city is really nice. It's fortified too, however it's much bigger. There are some really nice restaurants there; we went to one in particular, in which the staff didn't really know English, but somehow knew how to make themselves understood. One of them was amazing, a little crazy, even 😆
This tower was really cool, full of trees on top. Forgot to take a shot during the day.
The man. The crazy (cool) waiter.
Bologna
Last step on the trip: Bologna. We stayed a few days there, and we met Marika, a friend from Stockholm. She brought us to a restaurant where I ate the best lasagna I have ever eaten in my life. Mark my words: best lasagna ever. Even better than the ones we had at LinkedIn. I wish I had taken a picture of these; maybe I should start taking pictures of my food, but I'm usually way too hungry. Also I like to eat hot and there's no time to waste. And it's so uncool to take food pictures imo. Don't do this, and be cool.
Fountain of Neptune. Dude is clearly going to the gym.
This doesn't qualify as food picture, as I'm not sitting at a table and about to eat it. So it's still cool.
