Reached there after nearly an hour strolling like homeless guy but another thing came up. Check-in was only from 11 am till 9pm and I a…

Two wonderful cities where you can loose looking at so much beautiful art.

we were in pompei so long that we missed the train from rome to florence, and had to spend another night in rome. we ended up in a hotel, for a bit more money, but it was ok because we had a great shower and a great nights sleep - something we all needed. we are now in florence, and just came back…

  Well today was the first day of rain we had ...and luckly our only day. The entire trip we were lucky to have had great sunny warm weather. So I will take the one rainy day! We first met up with a local guide of Florence who walked us around Piazza Santa Croce, Piazza Del Duomo and its ca…

My wonderful trip to Florence! I had a great travel buddy and couldn't have asked for a better time. It is truly the "art capitol of the world."

Italy road trip after Mediterranean cruise (Venice to Rome). Highlights: 1. Siena (Piazza del Campo, Duomo) 2. Montalcino (Castello di Velona, Abbey of Sant'Antino) 3. Florence (Pitti Palace, Boboli Gardens, Arno river, Uffizi Gallery, Duomo, Opera concert). What a way to spend a birthday week!

Since I didn't have any they became interested in the camera and spent 15 minutes asking for me to take more pictu…

Bought my niece a cute bracelet near the Uffizzi, a guy sculpted her name out of metal. Walked around for 5 ho…

for our last day in florence we went to see the ponte vecchia and the palazzo pitti that is close there. well the  ponte vecchia (bridge) is far more impressive from far than standing on it, it used to be the butchers bridge and they through their leftovers just in the river, nowadays all thos…

Italy 2006

Ciao Bella, Italia!

I was only here for 2 days but I was able to see many things. I really enjoyed all of the street markets. I was lucky enough to meet someone to give me a ride on a scooter to Michael Angelos square. The view from there is out of this world!
