3 months backpacking in Europe

The centre of Florence is the most amazing detailed historic city that I have seen. The roads are wide and you have a real sense of space even though each house looks like a towering castle, there were obviously a lot of disputes in this city. as you cross the Ponte Vecchio with its old time jewellery shops you are transformed into a different age. Each building is a masterpiece and you are so spoilt at which one to look at. I would recommend not going in the summer months as Floren…

Firenze, Italy: 5/20/08             We caught an early morning train out of Roma to Firenze ( Florence ). We lucked out again and had a very friendly Italian lady sitting with us. She lives up in the Northern Italian Alps north of Verona ; she spoke very good English and talked with us on the entire trip up to Florence . Arriving in Florence there was an obvious American family standing back by the train door waiting to get off the…

I decided to study in Florence for a semester.  I would have stayed longer if I knew I was going to love it as much as I did.  Many people have done a study abroad, but when I went about 4 years ago I had never talked to anyone who had.  I had no idea what to expect, but I kept a very open mind.   Many people I talk to have many negative experiences or views of Florence.  I consider my all my experiences positive ones!  Anything neg…

My girlfriend and I went on a two week back packing adventure through Rome, Florence, Monterosso via Pisa (Cinque Terre) and Venice via Genoa and Milan. Due to work commitments we were only allowed two weeks off. It was our first time to Italy so we saw all the main sights in each city as well as going to some of the lesser known galleries and museums. Amazing trip and an amazing country!

After spending way too long in Rome (not really) I finally made it to Florence. Before leaving, I managed to see ancient Rome. It was mind boggling that it was the place where Caesar and others walked and lived. Ive been to so many ancient sites and it never gets old. I also managed to see a few more musuems that I didnt get to earlier in my stay. I also ended up going on the pub crawl again. This time i managed to make it to the third stop. But I did have to pay the price for it the next mor…

I went on a highschool trip to Europe with some of my good friends in April 2000. Seems like such a long time ago!
