bonjourno! so today was a beautiful day here in firenze. it was like a perfect canadian fall day. chris and i went over the river and climbed up to michelangelo's palazza- lots of scary sprain your ankle, break your arm kinda stairs. but ohh the lovely pictures we got of florence! to cross the river we walked over a famous bridge that have little apartments built on the outside. the whole street was jewellery after jewellery store, with many men taking pictures of their ladies infront of the fancy diamonds, kinda funny. highlights for me today? speaking italian to the pharmacist [View Full Entry]

and walk we shall Europe » Italy » Tuscany » Florence
so our life is now consumed with walk, walk, walking. it took some time to get used to (north bay isn't a walking to get places kind of town). but we love our walks now. there is just sooo much to see, so many beautiful buildings, statues and chruches. every corner we turn we are stumbling onto something amazing. i'll be looking in one direction taking pictures of one beutiful thing, and chris taps me on the shoulder and i turn around and he'll be looking at something else amazing. we just laugh because it's unbelievable. today we had a visit [View Full Entry]

so i am writing at an odd time for us, normally we write at the end of our day before heading up to da room. BUT, let me tell you what we've got goin on here in Firenze! We step off our train and are following our directions to the hostel which are marked by McDonalds (i was a little sad inside, our roman picturesque hostel was fading). But then we hit the hostel, go up 4 flights of stairs and arrive at Luna Rossa. So it is quite quaint and coulouful, we got a map with all the places circled [View Full Entry]

The Colosseum and Roman Forum were the main stops on todays trip. We headed to the Forum first as we got a tip that the lines would be a lot more quick if you went there first before the Colosseum. So we headed out on foot from our hostel and about a 20 minute walk later (and a couple stops to take some pictures) we hit the Forum. This place was amazing. Buildings, ruins, pillars and arches filled these grounds like the scooters in the roads. The picutres here will be amazing and we cant wait to share them. After about [View Full Entry]

meg's italiano version Europe » Italy » Lazio » Rome
bonjourno amicos! our breakfast was included with the hostel. we were told it was an "authentic italian cafe". they didn't speak much of our mother canadian tongue, so after we waved our ticket the gave us a pastry and kept saying "cappucino" to us. i didn't really care for one, and chris didn't want one. but old italian lady, middle-aged cafe italian lady and old italian man at the cash kept saying "cappucino, cappucino" to us. so then cappucino it was. now, to add to the vatican line-up story- we were in a line of hundreds and hundreds of people waiting [View Full Entry]

OH MY GOODNESS!! Europe » Italy » Lazio » Rome
BONJOURNO EVERYONE So on the way back from everything today Meg and I finally remembered what day it was. So at first we would like to remember everyone who gave their lives for Canada. Well to start off the day we went and got a free cappuccino and pastry at a close "snack bar" then headed out on our travels for the day. We headed down the Termini Roma and saw the craziness there, jumped on a bus and headed to Vatican City. When we arrived we finally knew we were on vacation. This place was so amazing. There was a [View Full Entry]
