Itinerary: Sardinia and Tuscany, Italy
Sardinia – the photos online do not look like they do it justice and after friends visited I made sure to add it to our travel list. When Kevin’s birthday came around, he envisioned beach side in Italy similar to our time in Camogli (which we continue to dream about visiting again). Simultaneously, a wine event in Tuscany I had been following for a few years was returning this summer and had a dinner around the time we were planning on traveling. After many months away from one of our favorite countries – November 2019 (Bologna) – it was time to return. Sardinia would not be our only new adventure for Italy – we were also exclusively renting Vespas for the entire journey. This is something that we have dreamed about doing since our first visit to Italy where we saw the scooters in action.
Here is how we spent our ten days exploring Sardinia and Tuscany, Italy!
