We paid for almost everything in cash while we were in Italy (Rome, Salerno, Minori, Napoli, Florence), including train tickets, bus tickets, food, and attractions like museums. Most things that we didn’t pay cash for were pre-booked online, like our flight from Prague to Rome and our accommodations.

Having days without looking at the time is amazing – I love the feeling of not having to be anywhere specific or worrying about making an appointment.

Florence is unique city with its architecture and museums. One of my favorite.

My watch is in my backpack, I’ll pull it out if something is going on where I have to be aware of the time otherwise I don’t worry too much or I can pull out my phone.
Leaving the watch off my wrist is a deliberate action…

From this short piece it seems like there is a lot of “cash only” in Italy, is that how it is?
