Florence at sunset

Yet another view from the Ponte Vecchio. An enjoyable place to walk as the night comes alive.

Pasta, Wine, and Walking - and LOTS of it!

I'm honored to receive your compliment!
You two are probably my favorite blog to browse on travelblog. So to receive your nice comment really made my day! Thank you! I hope to next travel to Rwanda to see the gorillas. I noticed that you have already been there. Any advice for what kind of camera equipment to carry? Best regards and keep on exploring and writing! Sheri

We loved Rwanda
We really loved Rwanda. There is plenty more to see there than the gorillas. Advice #1: Book the gorilla trip well in advance. Advice #2: Bring a camera you are comfortable with. For the gorilla tour make sure you are able to take photos even if it is raining. (I.e. either have a waterproof back-up camera or protect your non-waterproof well) Advice #3: When you visit the gorillas, bring protective clothes. Some plants sting. Even thin gloves is a good idea. Advice #4: Akagera NP (Safari) was awesome. I hope you read all our blogs from Rwanda. You might pick up one or two places there that might be worth visiting. Don't hesitate to ask for more advice on Rwanda. I am happy to answer any question you have. /Ake

Many thanks!
I really appreciate you taking the time to outline all the important bullets about touring Rwanda. I wasn't thinking of touring Akagera, so will have to reconsider. I'm off to review your blogs! Cheers!
