A very last minute travel decision was made last month that my partner Key and I would accompany his sister on a short trip to explore some of Italy. She was due to attend a wedding in Tuscany and kindly asked if we fancied exploring a little beforehand. The next day we were in Italy. This fast-paced start (as well as nearly missing the flight there)  was to set the stage for the chaotic and hilarious whirlwind of a trip that saw us visit Genoa, La Spezia, Cinque Terre, Pisa, Florence and Spoleto in just four days.
