How far did I travel this week?:

I've traveled around a lot of Italy this week! By train alone, I've traveled 609 kilometers (roughly 378 miles)! On 04/26 I went from Florence to Portofino, and then on 04/30 from Portofino to Vicenza. I've also done a lot of walking around the towns I'm staying in, walking around 10,000 steps each day.

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

Since leaving Oregon, I have traveled around 6,600 miles, or about 10,600 kilometers. First, I flew 5,804 miles (9,340 km) from Portland, OR to Rome, Italy. Then I traveled 662 km (411 miles) between Rome, Florence, Siena, and Bologna. And then this week another 609 km (378 miles). I've traveled quite a distance!

How did I get around this week?:

This week I've gotten around either by train or by foot. Within the city I walk rather than drive or take the bus, as most Italian cities are very walkable. When traveling between towns though, I take the train. The trains here are great, very clean and efficient, and move at over 100 miles an hour!

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

I really enjoyed visiting Portofino! I love the ocean so it was really cool to see the Italian coastline. I also had such good food, met very nice people, and saw some of the best views of the trip!
