Amore

 Europe » Italy » Lombardy » Milan
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's Milan.... Well I thought nothing could top Athens but then I went to Milan. You all know me. I'm kinda dry. Very straightforward. Don't really exaggerate. Picture this in your mind. Natashia exiting her hotel with the intent of running across the street to grab something from the cafe for breakfast. I'm in my uniform dress, waiting for a break in the morning traffic to allow me to cross. As the cars slow for me, I begin across the street, carefully since I'm in the required heels and I [View Full Entry]

Bon Giorno!

 Europe » Italy » Veneto » Venice
(Kate) Helloooooo from Venezia!! Thats Venice, to you...haha. We got in at 9 PM yesterday after 12 hours of trains...yikes! We shared a train with these really cute kids. One of them was crazy. (Ian) Ok I, Ian, am going to tell this part cause I made a new best friend. Let me tell you about him. He is from Vienna but his parents are Nigerian and the most distinguishable thing about him is his laugh. He is 2 years old and laughs like an old man, it is hilarious. At one point in the trip I almost died laughing because [View Full Entry]

Firenze (Florence)

Not the David
Copy of David in front of the Palazzo Vecchio
With just a week left until I return to the states I took one last big trip to Florence. The first stop was to the Chiesa di Santa Maria Novella which was built between 1279-1360, pretty damn old! Inside is Masaccio's Trinity, which was the first paintintg to use geometric perspective, sorry wasn't allowed to take pictures! Next, I went to see who else but David in all his marble glory. I waited in line for an hour and paid 10 euro...doesn't that usually mean there's a roller coaster somewhere? Anyways, I finally made it in and was greeted by Michelangelo's [View Full Entry]

from the markets
As soon as we stepped out from our Florence hotel we were once more surrounded by tourists everywhere. Kev said the people all reminded him of the hundreds of rats which were walking along a dry river bed in Hanoi Vietnam when he was there a few years ago. “The only difference being that rats don't carry cameras” he remarked! Florence seemed to have market stalls everywhere and, we were told, the markets are open every day. Selling all sorts of goodies including a surfeit of leather goods. Tourists are obviously to be fleeced of as much money as possible!! Everywhere [View Full Entry]

Til Francesca og miavende Jambo
Onsdag: Fra Milano til Roma Efter to begivenhedsrige dage med Francesca og venner i Milano, drog Finkerne mod Rom. Alt klappede fint - baade paa vej til Milano Centrale og fra Roma Termini til Metrost. Bologna samt Via Livorno nr. 5, hvor vi nu residerer paa Youth Station Hostel. Togturen var 6 timer lang og MEGET meget varm. Men flot at opleve det skiftende italienske landskab. Vi delte kupe med to meget omsorgsfulde, venlige, italienske kvinder, der soergede godt for os med baade saltkiks og sladderblad. Da vi kom gennem Firenze og ved ankomsten til Rom var der meget rigtig flot [View Full Entry]

Amor in Milano?

Falder finkerne for denne by?
Finkerne faar deres foerste italienske storbyoplevelse Efter at have afleveret backpacks til opbevaring paa Milano Centrale, vovede vi os ud i det milanesiske mylder - af maerkelige mennesker. Vi flygtede tilbage til banegaarden, fik koebt et kort, og vandrede saa afsted mod Il Duomo, Domkirken, hvor vi skulle moede Lou's sicilianske veninde Francesca, der meget venligt havde lovet os guiding og husly her i Milano, hvor hun arbejder og studerer. Hurtigt naaede vi til laekre modebutikker og endelig fandt vi en lille plads, hvor vi kunne spise vores famoese rosinbroed mv. til morgenmad. Laekkert og hele jagten vaerd! Sidenhen fandt vi [View Full Entry]

F is for Food

 Europe » Italy » Veneto » Venice
F is for Food I have been putting off writing this for a long time because trying to organise this in my head, let alone write it up normally feels like an impossible task. There is so much food here of which I have eaten vast quantities that I’m not sure I’m up to doing it justice with my words. There is also a chance that some of this will repeat on various food substances described in the pre-A to Z era of blogging, all those years ago. For this I apologise, but tough, you’re just going to have to read [View Full Entry]

STAIRS

 Europe » Italy » Tuscany » Florence
Florence SO apparently we are all about stairs here in Florence. There is about 8 flights of stairs to get up to my apartment, plus 8 flights of stairs to get up to the school. Sooo thats a lot of stairs. And no one uses elevators here because they are small and sketchy. We had also been going to Forte Belvedere a lot at night because there is a bar up there. That involves lots of walking up hill and lots of stairs! And then on that Sunday, in Lucca, we climbed up the stairs of two towers. And in Pisa [View Full Entry]

- our first sight from the public water bus
Those were Kev's remarks as we walked across St Marks Square, Venice towards the Bridge of Sighs!! Tourists, tourists everywhere - not only Japanese! From the steady streams of what seemed to be school groups there must also have been many empty classrooms all over Europe too! Later when we booked for a Vivaldi concert at Campo San Salvador which is close to the Rialto Bridge and a couple of minutes walk away from our hotel, the man who sold us the tickets told us that Venice is nowhere near as busy as it does get. Kev found that hard to [View Full Entry]
