This month was the calm between the storms. With our Prague wedding finishing at the end of May and our Boston wedding starting at the beginning of July, June would be a time to rest, regroup, and take off to Italy for a few days.
Nah, I’m kidding. It would be a time to panic, stress out over the Boston wedding arrangements…and take off to Italy for a few days.
Here’s what I got up to in June!
Destinations Visited
- Prague, Čerčany, and Týnec nad Sázavou, Czech Republic
- Naples and Ischia (including Ischia Porto, Forio, Serrara Fontana, and Lacco Ameno), Italy
- Boston and Somerville, Massachusetts, USA
Highlights
A lovely mini-moon to Ischia. Charlie and I are saving the big honeymoon for the end of the year (Chile and Argentina), but we wanted to take a short getaway in Italy first. Enter Ischia!

Ischia has a lot to do for a few days. Sure, there are beaches, but there are also thermal hot springs, mountains to climb, a gorgeous castle set on the sea, agriturismi dishing up stewed rabbit, and plenty of fabulous pizza. One of our favorite activities was taking a private boat trip around the island, which was a lot more affordable than you might expect.
I’m excited to write about Ischia. It deserves to be a major part of your visit to southern Italy. Don’t just go to the Amalfi Coast and move on — Ischia is really worth spending a few days.
Going rafting in the Czech Republic. Czechs LOVE rafting, and I’ve been looking forward to doing this for a long time. Four of us headed out to the town of Čerčany, rented a raft, and paddled all the way to Týnec nad Sázavou, a 14-kilometer journey. A fun day out, even if we had to drag the raft across a few weirs!
Lots of Prague fun. We are in food festival season and got to visit Žižkov Beer Festival, a pop-up Bubbles Festival, Latin American Festival, and Prague Ice Cream Fest. We had a barbecue at the container bar by the river, hit up…
