EEK European Tour

For two weeks, it was me and two hipsters (my mom and Kirsten) journeying through Italy and France. What follows is my adhoc photo journal of highlights.


Cat was with us for the London leg, enjoying afternoon tea at the Lanesborough Hotel. Absolutely lovely, darling. We were within a stone's throw of Buckingham Palace.

We left Cat and flew to Florence...

...where we ate bruschetta and olive tapenade for three days straight.

Lake Como, where the scenary was absolutely unbelievable. It was us and George Clooney.

My 100th cappuchi!

On the train to Menton, on the French Riviera. We mostly stole our lunches from the posh hotels where we stayed.

In Menton...

I want to learn to sail.

Day trip to Monaco. We had a really great lunch overlooking the Monte Carlo Casino.

Ah, the InterContinental Hotel in Cannes, my second home.

Enter Provence! So lovely.

And the only surviving photo of Paris, me eating a crepe with warm bananas and Nutella!

It was then back to Oxford, where the trees are blooming and the work is calling!
