Making a great travel through time history, culture, traditions, people and food.

Rome, Florence, Fiesole (Tuscany).

FLORENCE, capital of the region of Tuscany, has a population of around half a million inhabitants, spreads on the banks of the Arno, between the Adriatic and the Tyrrhenian seas, almost in the middle of the Italian peninsula. It is a city which bustles with industry and craft, commerce and culture,…

I love Italy and I loved this trip. I made an highlight list for this one! The Duomo and Baptiserum of Florence! You just have to see it. The Duomo's dome is famous for being the first one with a dome out of one piece what is very special of course. And the colours are just unbeleiveble, especia…

I think the herbal supplements worked because I was able to sleep 5 whole hours, but then I woke up with a sore throat.  (curses!) Anyways, we had reservations to the Uffizi so we headed out ... but not before we stopped by the pastry shop from the day before to get some marron glace - c…

After a great breakfast of cereal, bacon and eggs we headed out to check out the areas we'd seen as well as the others that Florence is famous for. We decided to walk through the market area on the way to the Duomo – lots and lots of leather on sale in the form jackets, bags, belts, braclets…

Because of the insanely crazy gas prices (and the crazy Italian traffic), we opted to take the train for the majority of our trips.  It was simple and a lot more relaxing.  My husband needed the break from driving anyway and I needed to calm my nerves.  I have never seen so many dare…

- The first Italian words I heard were "Mamma Mia!" as a man tried to get on a really full train - I hear the word "Prego" about five times a day. It means a bunch of stuff, including you're welcome. So if I ask someone to take my picture and then I say "grazie", they respond with "prego". I laugh…

4 Days in Italy

Our next stop in Italy was that famous Renaissance capital of culture, Florence. Like Venice, this place was chock full of tourists wandering about the historic downtown. Because of the crowds, there were also an unbelieveable number of illegal merchants hawking their wares. Every free space on the…

I never thought that i can visit Europe so early, at least totally out of my expectation. Travelling is always my passionate. In Oct year 2005, my best buddy Lyn and decided we want to travel to Europe , eventhough is only 10days but like that i said, these golden momeries still linger in my mind now... till now. Sometimes when we talked about everything during our europe journey, we can't help to think about every single things, scenes, peoples, building we've seen.......
