Mum flies kids to Italy for just 24 hours to get pizza as it was cheaper than trip to London

Mum flies kids to Italy for just 24 hours to get pizza as it was cheaper than trip to London

Roxanne says it was the perfect day trip and the kids got to soak up a beautiful city.

When you're craving some pizza, it's fairly easy to get a couple of slices in your hand in less than an hour.

However, if you live in the UK, you could always just fly to Italy to get a proper experience.

That's what one mum did when she wanted a break for her and her kids.

Roxanne Balciunas bundled Cherry and Tayo into a car to the airport and they set course for Pisa.

The flights only cost £39 per person and they were in the Italian city by 10pm.

It was a quick trip as they were back at the airport and chilling in their South Yorkshire home within 24 hours.

While some people might gawk at the idea of spending so much money for less than a day somewhere foreign, Roxanne says it was perfect.

"It's a cheaper alternative to a day out at home," she said. "If we were to go to a theme park it would cost a couple of hundred for the day with food, travel and the tickets.

"It was definitely cheaper than a trip to London for sure.

"It cost us around £39 each for return flights and £118 in total and then it was £150 for the hotel for the night.

"We only spent £50 on expenditures on the trip for food and a few souvenirs.

"We walked through the city and got some trinkets like fridge magnets and keyring and then had some gelato.

"We visited the leaning tower of Pisa and went to the cathedral and the Opera del Duomo Museum and this was all free.

"We enjoyed pizza whilst we were there too. It was covered in salami and pepperoni and my son said it was the best pizza he had ever eaten.

"We sat outside and ate it. It was lovely and the atmosphere was great."

They made this little excursion on a Saturday, which is a day where they usually have no plans.

So why not get some culture into you when you can.

"The main reason for this trip was to try and get the kids off their phones and iPad," she said.

"We've done these kinds of day trips before. We've been to Amsterdam before and Belgium for the day too and I'm taking Tayo to Copenhagen for the Christmas markets in November.

"Ireland is one of the next trips on the list too.

"It's just cheaper and I think in some cities, 24-hours is enough to see everything."
