After 6 weeks of dolce vita, I can really say that I fell in love with this country and it's people...

Today was our free day to roam around Florence.  I bought a scarf for Lindsay and a red shirt for myself to wear to the dance club tonight.  I also ate a LOT of gelato.  Amaretto and Tiramisu flavors are good, but pistachio still takes the cake.  We were supposed to go on a guid…

From Utrecht "Netherlands" to Italy and in Italy we went from: Perugia to Firenze to Pisa to La Spezia to finally Pietra Ligure.

Back in Florence i visited the Uffizi museum. This is a life remembering experience! Do not miss it! It's worth waiting for or ... as i did, buying a ticket for in advance! You will not regrett seeing al paintings, statues, and.... beautifull views on the Arno and ponte veccio!

Flew from Glasgow (via London Luton) to Pisa. Almost a disaster before I left when I realised after being dropped at the airport that I didn't have my mobile phone with me. First time I'd used a public call box in years as I phoned home to get my phone brought over, as I realised how much I wa…

So I have decided to go to Zagreb, Croatia. So tonight I will have to rush home, get my passport, rush back to the train station an…

Today we wanted to visit Accademia (to see the statue of David) and the Uffizi Gallery.  The line was very long for Accademia so I walked around to find this place to make a reservation... luckily i was able to make one for later that afternoon, at 3:30pm.  So on that note... make reserva…

And so to Firenze.  I stayed at a hostel that had one of the most interesting breakfasts included in the price - you could choose from cereal or eggs cooked a variety of ways (first time I've ever had a cooked-to-order free breakfast), plus there was a very random buffet: fruit, cake, chip…
