Lisa Wilkinson bids Italy a friendly ‘Arrivederci!’ despite injuries

Jul 17, 2017

Isn't she lovely?

Lisa Wilkinson has had one hell of a holiday.

The Today host kicked things off in the City of Love and shared glamorous shots of herself outside more than one famous Parisian landmark.

She seemed to truly be enjoying herself as she posed in the same hotel that featured in Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris.

Italy was next and Wilkinson was playfully snapped in her cossie along the Amalfi Coast.

Think I could get used to this whole swimming in July thing… #holiday #summer #italy #amalficoast #amalfi

But things took a turn for the worst when the 57-year-old slipped in the shower and broke two bones in her arm.

And so ends my beautiful Italian holiday with two badly broken bones after a shocking fall on a wet bathroom floor. For all the ouchy hurty details see my column at @huffpostau or on my twitter feed. ?

But despite the terrible timing of the incident, Wilkinson didn’t let it damper her mood and took to Instagram today to bid Italy “Arrivederci” before saying her next date would be with the surgeon’s knife.

Arrivederci #ltaly…you were fabulous (except for that whole falling over on the slippery wet marble floor thing). Bye-bye pool I never got to swim in. Bye-bye warm weather… Next stop: Sydney and my date with the surgeon’s knife. Fun times!! #holidayover #amalfi #amalficoast #summer #holiday #travel
