Florence Travel Blogs, Travelogues and Travel Journals - Page 11

Florence and Venice are my top visited destinations. Paris is a close third but the beauty here is unrivaled. Rome had excellent sights, but it was enough to visit and take the train to Florence. Milan was hardly worth the time unfortunately, but a nice city none the less.

Bonjourno (Good Morning) from Firenzia, ItalyReached Firenzia around 11.15 in the morning and located my hotel (Hotel Globus) with the help of a map which i downloaded from their website. Thanks to them for the map :)took rest for some time, then left for a group tour to Leaning Tower of Pisa. The tour escort (Valentina) was a hot chick and a very nice guide.

Playing and Learning in U.K.

On my first full day in Florence, I took the trek up the 450+ stairs of the Duomo for fantastic views of the city. The Duomo is the 4th biggest cathedral in the world, behind St Peter's in Rome, St Paul's in London and the cathedral in Seville, Spain... rather impressive indeed! Also walked up to Piazza Michaelangelo where one of the three David statues of Florence is kept. This particular one is made of bronze. The area had more great views of the orange rooftops and river that runs thro…

Summer 2001

Perched on the side of a hill overlooking Firenze (Florence) on terraced ground this huge camp ground is full of olive trees.  It is expensive because of it's accesiblity to the city and it offers many extra facilities though the internet is not working.  Showers are good but the cubicle has nowhere to keep clothes dry.  They appear to cater for backpackers without vehicles and have a line of tents set up for the tour buses and a loud bar where partying is encouraged. …

In the fall semester of 2005 I had the chance to live in Valbonne, France while I was studying. It was this that gave me my jumpstart in travelling. The chance to have a place I could come back to while I was in Europe made much easier for me to travel the continent pretty much every weeked. Not only did I visit some cities outside France, but I also got the chance to visit some nice French cities and towns along the way. Evidently Paris was at the top ofthe list.

My first trip to the motherland. Ridiculous trip. 36hours to get there, two weddings, one funeral, one long long earthquake, and several 5 hour lunches, and always being 3 hours late for engagements. te amo peru.

My Little Brothers Wedding

Studying abroad just doesn't mean partying and drinking, it means assimilating into the culture, learning the language, speaking the language, interacting with spaniards, eating spanish food "tapas", accepting the differences, opening up your horizons, being patient, and searching for yourself, for who you are. This is my life, this is my year abroad in Granada, Spain 2007-2008
