Assisi Travel Blogs

  The hot slow IC train broke down 10 miles before Assisi, and we had to wait an hour in the sweltering heat for the next train. When I arrived, I was drowsy, nauseous, and had a headache. A nap on a patch of grass helped a bit, but when I awoke I still had very little energy. I walked through …

Assisi was beautiful,too. So far, I can't think of a place I've visited in Italy that did not have such amazing architecture.

Going to Assisi, the tomb of Saint Francis of Assisi

In 1997 a very strong earthquake hit Assisi destroying a good deal of the city's ancient buildings. I remember going there not long after the event and it was scaffoldings all over the place. A damn shame. Today the town has come back to life again, with a vengeance. Completely recon…

I did not like it here, not once. The only good thing to come out of this stop was the amazing pictures of the sun set mixed with nutso rain/thunder clouds.

What a nice day. :) Today, we started out bright and early around 6 am and went on a bus trip around Assisi and Orvieto. We first got into a small tour bus which was exactly the same size as the one I took all through Morocco.  Mom and dad were surprised at how little leg room there was.&nbs…

An exchange with wonderful experiences...

More proof of why Italy is my favourite country!

Just some pictures taken in Assisi during a vacation in Umbria/Tuscany in July 2005

My best friend and I spent three weeks in Italy which was our first stop in our two month Europe trip. We saw everything from Rome to Tuscany to Lake Como. It was an amazing experience and the hot Italian men didn't hurt either :) After Italy we headed for Switzerland, Germany, Czech Republic, France, Spain, and United Kingdom. Hope you enjoy the pics

Europe Up & Down with EF College Break = best time of my LIFE! Swimming in the Mediterranean, exploring the Colosseum, partying at an ice bar, Trevi fountain, getting lost = amazing, eating gelato! Night trains, over night cruises to Greece, meeting the locals, Pompeii, Dephi, amazing views, Sistine Chapel, Amsterdam!, the Eiffel tower sparkling at night! Sound like something you want to do...join me this summer on a tour! I want to do it again...

Here I'm displaying some pictures of my vacations in Italy. We were visiting Italy from 1998 until 2007 or so. Every summer we were traveling to another part of the country. As you will see, the photo's include some sight-seeing pictures most of the time. I'm sorry for the bad quality and the messy content!
