 |
| checking out the popes rides |
 |
| at the Colliseum |
 |
| looking from the roof terrace into my apartemnt |
 |
| waking up early to head for our beach holiday! |
 |
| fisrst stop... Tuscany, where they eat lots of offal and even sometimes, calf brains |
 |
| but we just had pasta |
 |
| ... in florence! |
 |
| at the basilica |
 |
| at a great look out point... |
 |
| ...having a drink with a view |
 |
 |
| strange sidewalks |
 |
| you could even get tailor-made shoes |
 |
 |
| the jewels of the jewellers bridge |
1 |
| and THE BEST wine bar in Florence! |
 |
| finding our way |
 |
| beautiful public sculptures |
 |
| after walking firenze flat and staying in a great hotel for the price of a hostel, we hopped on a train to the Cinque Terre |
 |
| those poor tortoises |
 |
| making friends |
 |
| and enemies |
 |
| finding empty churches to fill with songs |
 |
| sleeping in Hostels... theres a first time for everything... |
 |
| and beaching! |
 |
 |
| *sigh |
 |
| oh thats my holiday house on the right |
 |
| after successful hunting we fed on the hostel terrace |
 |
| kept diaries |
 |
| swam in the crystal waters |
 |
| we hired a pedalo, ate watermelon and had the best time of our lives on this beautiful coast |
 |
| we even bought an umbrella |
 |
| walking from town to town |
 |
| this was one of the 5. the 'harbour' is rockpools where people can cool off |
 |
| incredible |
 |
| each of the 5 towns is perched along the coast and accessible by train or by boat |
 |
| and after a distant hostel and interesting lift back to the station we dropped by... |
 |
| Pisa for a few hours. ps. they have very strong winds... |
 |
| and minions |
 |
| and after our spectacular excursions we got on a train and rode weeee all the way home! we were the only ones on the train so we dressed up as bergies in disguise |
 |
| hunting for snacks |
 |
| back iin rome in st peters cathedral with all the masses of tourists again |
 |
| and at a viewpoint in rome |
 |
| eating fruits from the fruit bar. i think watermelon was our theme food for this trip, its all we wanted to eat |
 |
| the best handcrafted beerbar in rome |
 |
| eating a 'good' pizza from a Napolitan restaurant and NOT be a roman pizza which are typically cracker thin and burnt |
 |
| and thats what life was like for a short part of this year! pity time fly's so fast and worlds are so far apart. xxx |
