Traveling Twins

Easter Break! --We had a nice morning at the Beach in Nice, before we were off to Rome! ROME We landed in Rome, took the train to the city center, and then walked to our hotel, Boscolo Exedra , to meet mom and dad! They were waiting for us on the beautiful terrace of our hotel that looks out to an incredible view! We rushed to change before dinner, and were off! Mom failed to mention we were eating at La Pergola , a Michelin Three Star very fancy restaurant, with the most amazing view of Rome.  Needless to say, we were very underdressed in our sneakers and jeans..but that did not stop us from having a really great meal! We loved our four course dinner overlooking the city that ended with a flaming Grand Marnier Soufflé! After a perfect first night, we woke up and were ready to see the city! A golf cart picked us up and toured us around all day. We first went through a beautiful park, Villa Borghese , and saw many statues (some without heads) and a nice pond. Then we trekked...

SPRING BREAAAAAKKKKK!!! We woke up early this morning to catch our flight to Nice, France. We checked into our cute, studio apartment airbnb and were off to the train station to go to Antibes to meet our friends Lauren and Anna who are in the French Riviera for the weekend with a program! After a short 4 euro and 20 minute train ride we arrived! We got off the train and walked by the port towards the ocean, admiring the beauty of all the sailboats and yachts. We continued alone the seaside and found a cute restaurant  with delicious crepes and French cider. Anna and Lauren met up with us and after some catching up we went to the market, bought 3 euro bottles of wine, sat on the rocky beach, and enjoyed! We took our train back to Nice and got ready for the night! Anna and Lauren met us at a restaurant near our house for some muscles and fries... the famous food of Nice. After dinner we went back to our airbnb to chill and chat before going out! We headed to old town and partied th...

After a quick week of school we were off again to London! A stressful airport experience, complete with a long security line started our trip off! We arrived at Stansted Airport, and took a 40 minute train ride into the city. Taylor and I met our friends at the AirBnb, and were out the door in 15 minutes.  Wasting no time! We bought Hop on Hop off bus tickets to get us around the city all weekend -- and our first stop was Buckingham Palace. Unfortunately, we did not make it in time to see the "changing of the guards" but still experienced a beautiful walk through the park and the amazing views of the Palace! We all decided to get our barrings, and just ride for the rest of the afternoon. So we did just that! We sat on the roof of the double decker bus and rode around the city for a couple of hours! Just before the sun went down, we hopped off at the most authentic Fish N' Chips spot in London, Golden Hind. It did not disappoint! AMAZING. We ate fast, because we had to...
