I already said it on your vlog, but it was just so wonderful to spend a bit more time with you. The last few years have made it tough. What fun it is to go away the 3 of us. You are always sharing one of our birthdays and we thank you for that. Long may we continue! And thank you for introducing me to Aperol Spritz italian style too!!❤

[@samfrench_88]

Aww what a lovely vlog Ann 👌 it all looked amazing 😊 so glad you got to spend another wonderful trip with your wonderful Nephew Luke ♥️ p.s. nice to see you on camera too this time Ann 😍 x

Hi Sam! He didn't edit out my 'beautiful smile' either...😂😂😂 hope you're OK and good to hear from you!

Fantastic video Luke. Happy birthday to your lovely Uncle. Wish I could edit videos like you Luke…

[@avacadman2155]

I love that you get out and about and take us all along Luke! Loved travelling abroad but it became too much, all that airport waiting and 5he same when reaching the destinations. I got too old, health issues. But hey, I go along with you and uwan now! Perfect! 👍👍👍👍💗💗

[@kerenmcrobert9024]

Aww lovely vlog Luke 😊I always look forward to seeing what you’ve been up to😃I have to say that you are such a lovely family man, it’s so nice to see you going away with your aunt and uncle, so so lovely. I bet your parents are very proud of you😊🤗

To hear that lovely orchestra in St Mark's Square must be heaven.

[@lovelyskull3483]

Such devastating flooding in Italy. I’m so pleased that you had a wonderful holiday. Your B and B looked gorgeous. I would be on a sugar high all day with all of the bakery treats. Thank you for this lovely video Luke.

[@susandibble3525]

Aww that was so lovely to see your beautiful aunts smile 🤗

[@annpritchard6465]

Susan, I'm not AT ALL photogenic, so that smile was my worst cheesy one, just for laughs, which hopefully it has done. Thank you for the lovely comment though. In my 66th year, I need 'em!!

[@Roo-s_Life]

Luke this was absolutely gorgeous and yet another reminder that you are an all round genuinely lovely person. I've followed you for some time now and you're such a constant. You're enthusiasm and passion for life along with your sincerity and sensitivity are inspirational. Please don't ever lose those qualities ❤

[@ronwren1]

There are hundreds of beautiful and historic places and things to see in the world,but Italy is at the top of the list.It's magnificent.All of it.

What a great visit you all had to Bologna! Such a shame about the rain, but it didn’t stop you eating and drinking! Lovely to get that quick flip to Venice as well. Thank you, Luke, for taking us with you.

[@LisaCSwain]

Despite the weather, I'm so glad that you had such a great celebration with your uncle and aunt! If you can find it, you might pick up a copy of John Berendt's "City of Falling Angels". He's an American writer that lived in Venice around the time that La Fenice burned.

[@calvinliu6304]

Hope you have a great day in italy😊

[@anni50ful]

I've so many memories of Venice we went in tourist season it was packed, so we jumped on a gondola amazing how quiet it is in the back street's , thank you for the trip your auntie and uncle look lovely Cheers ☺

The waterproof was a GREAT investment. It was such a beautiful trip❤

Fantastic vlog Luke. In fact, I'm going to watch it again it was so good! I could almost taste the food!

[@shelaghjackson9577]

I said it when you were in Milan, but again: you have a great Italian accent! I’ve walked up to San Luca in the heat….it’s hard! There isn’t a real view of the city from there so you didn’t miss much. Love Italy too…I’m just back from Sicily…..you need to go there as you love food!

Thanks Luke for the vid. We followed you out to Venice in March having watched your Jan trip and booked Bologna for summer, then came across this vid. Great to share your experience and we will look at your recommendations. Thanks. Using the porticoes to shield us from the sun not the rain, we are hoping 🥵

Fabulous Trip Luke Never Been to Venice. Would Love To Go. They Have Had Terrible Weather in Italy. Enjoy your Week. Xx 🇮🇹😘

[@helenwiddowson4784]

So lovely to see you enjoying time with your aunt and uncle. It's lovely you get along so well and enjoy traveling together. It looked like you had such a great time despite the rain. I've only been to Rome for our 20th wedding anniversary, visiting Sorrento later this year for our 25th anniversary and hopefully Venice next year for our 50th birthday treat.

[@carolhendry3652]

Fabulous vlog. So enjoyable. Cant wait to go now!

[@elizabethhamilton8388]

Sorry that y’all ran into so much rain while you were there. I kept thinking it’s a good thing that you like food because there were plenty of really nice little places to pick up some yummy goodness while it was raining outside. It was a lot busier than it was in January when you and Zara went. It was so nice of you to take your uncle out to a Michelin star restaurant for his birthday! I hope you have a great trip back to London. Hugs from the southeast coast of Florida😎🦩🌞🦩😎

[@Yvonneb_]

Luke I have to thankyou for taking us along, that is 2 places I wanted to go to but funds will never allow. But thanx to you I feel like I have been now. Your apartment is lovely. The food looks yummy. I have a very small part of italian in me. My Grans mother was italian. Sadly i dont have the colour skin but i have the beauty spot and the temper lol, my gran used to point those 2 things out. Lol Xx

Especially when I said Luke went there. 😊 Looks fab. X

[@ehpeachylove]

Happy birthday to your uncle . What a view from the top of that building, just gorgeous! It’s really nice to put the camera or cell down and just soak in the good times with family or friends. Glad you had a great dinner with your uncle . The basilica was beautiful. I just love all the details in architecture. Modern buildings are so boring. Your living my dream in Italy . I’ll never get there so thank you for sharing your journey. It is sad that you had so much rain. But at least you had a good time. Very nice apartment. Love the flooring too. Beautiful location. Such a beautiful time you all had with your family Luke. Thank you for sharing. Much love from Northern California ❤❤❤

[@adventuresforthecurious]

We were in Bologna and Venice right after you! When you had sun to climb the Asinelli Tower, I was so jealous! It was drizzling rain for us, with fog covering the hills surrounding the city. We climbed after a food & wine tour, so I felt your "pain" in climbing after your wine drinking! LOL Next time you are in Bologna try Sfoglia Rina! It is a delicious spot for lunch, and worth standing in line! If you ever go back to Venice, go across to San Giorgio and go up in their tower - it is a magical view back at St. Mark's and easy to get in with no crowd. Loved Suso so much! Just found your channel as I am planning a trip to York, but then saw your Italy vlog and subscribed.

[@catherinecollins8220]

Looks like such a great trip Luke..😊 you seem so close to your Aunt & Uncle ❤

Great video! Looking forward to going to Bologna in May. I chuckled when I saw the date of this video May 15, 2023. I was on Hvar Island, Croatia at that time, 4 days of the exact same weather. 😅. But I made the most of it, as you did. 👍

Fab vlog in Italy you should move there you are so at home there, it's my favourite country and I would love to return to Venice where I visited with my son. Bologna looks lovely, we did Florence and Rome. Nice to have great family memories. At least you balanced all the great food and drink with a lot of walking, the viewpoints were wonderful. I was worried you were going to need a boat but your lovely new raincoat sufficed, sorry for the flooded region though, you were lucky not to get the worst of it.

Hi Luke ! Lovely place to visit, will put on my list of places to see ! You and Audrey make a lovely couple 😂😂😂. Caroline Ireland 🇮🇪

[@elsapennetti7773]

When you are in Italy, I recommend do not buy Barilla. It's the cheapest and it is convenient when you are abroad, but in the italian supermarkets you can really buy other brands. Barilla do not dry pasta at low temperature (pasta dryed at low temperature is pasta of better quality) and also does not use italian wheat. :)

[@janlisseman6302]

Hi Luke, what a great vlog, beautiful area even in the rain, lovely food and great that you got to spend quality time with your Aunt and Uncle, very special xx

[@gizmogoeswalkies4430]

The best part of this vlog 4 me is when u randomly passed a lemon tree on the way 2 a restaurant like it was normal 4 Italy, my parents threw a apple core in a field where I live from our allotment and apon gazing at the bloom's from it it's now an apple tree which was never before yrs ago so hopefully establish into an organic orchard in yrs 2 come ❤😊❤

Gypsy Boy is a great book but so depressing too. People can be so cruel. The author is a very inspiring person and I'm glad he came through the bad times in his earlier life.

Cafe Florian is actually neither of those and is on the other side. When I went it did not have chairs and tables outside. The Cafe with the yellow chairs is Cafe Lavena. Where I had strawberry Bellinis and snacks.
