We’re nearing our last few hours in Poland and though I stopped taking pictures of things (in part because we stopped having variety, in part because I was a bit over it ) I wanted to unload the rest of the photos on my phone here. Breakfast and second breakfast consists of meat, cheese, spread, [...]

My typical Polish breakfast Lunch was at a little place just off of the Krakow main square. They served us glasses of water with lemon, orange, and mint. Very nice! My salad. Lettuce, walnuts, pineapple, and wedges of toast with goat cheese and Parmesan melted on top. Not very Polish but quite good. We split [...]

A small breakfast on the morning before we leave Italy. I kept things small because we were dining at Osteria Francescana in Modena! San Pellegrino rates it one of the Top 10 restaurants in the world. We chose The Classics at 130 euros per person. I’m not going to narrate the courses because you can [...]

I think it’s called Lavarello? Gelato for dinner, our last in Italy and not my favorite choices. Amarena (my favorite flavor ever but [...]

Breakfast at La Viitoria in Garda. That chocolate granola is the best I’ve ever had, especially when you first take your spoon and dip it in nutella, then dip it in plain yogurt, and finish with a big spoonful of granola. Yummy! I asked the clerk in the fancy chocolate shop where we should eat [...]

One last meal at La Torre. We were so sad to leave. I don’t have pictures for the rest of the day. We ate lunch at this pizza place in Portofino. Foccacia pizza stuffed with a cheesy sauce and covered with arugula and prosciutto. Surprisingly good, though it was certainly catering to Americans. After a [...]

Breakfast at La Torre was just as fabulous as dinner! Dinner the night before was so good, we forced ourselves to make it all the way from our late breakfast to 8:00 pm dinner on nothing but a few chocolates. We wanted to have room for all of it this time! An assortment of pork [...]

Breakfast at Ambasciatori B&H Hotel was seriously uninspiring. The worst we had in all the places we stayed. Lunch at Obika. Basically a repeat of the night before. This time with the Stravciatella Buffalata mozzarella. To Die For. You absolutely cannot visit Florence without stopping by Il Re Gelato and getting some olive oil gelato. [...]
