Florence and its fabulous sights

Well I’ve been very slack and I do apologize. I’m still alive (obviously I didn’t get taken as a slave when I was in Morocco, and I didn’t end up with food poisoning either, for those of you who were concerned!!). I’m still having an absolutely awesome time, I am overwhelmed by the thought of trying to summarize for you all the beautiful and amazing places and things I’ve been fortunate enough to cast my eyes upon since I left Australia. I guess the best thing I can do is just give you a rundown on the places I’ve visited since Rome: Florence (which I fell in love with – in particular, the David which had me spellbound the minute I entered the room. Not only is the sheer size of Michelangelo’s sculpture startling but the attention to detail such as the veins that run along his arms is truly majestic. I could go on and on about Florence and its fabulous sights  So I’ll save the many details of Florence I have securely stored in my memory and on film for when I return and continue… After Florence an American girl, Michelle, who I’d met on Bus about, and I went to Pisa (Yep! It leans!), Cinque Terre (5 fishing villages in Italy which we hiked the length of and swam in the crystal waters by day and went for mid-night joy rides on speedboats with strange Italian locals to neighboring villages by night!) and Nice (lovely except for the beach of stones – there’s nothing like an Australian beach. The best aspect of Nice ‘though was the day trip which we took to Monaco.
It was very wealthy – not quite like the Vatican in Rome – and intriguingly beautiful. We tried our hardest to find some famous people but ended up having to satisfy ourselves with photographing the changing of the guards and ourselves in front of the casino (in which I admit I had a little bit of a flutter!) Together, Michelle and I had TOO much fun! – But after 10 days of travel together I now have a wonderful friend who emails me regularly (far more than anyone back home!!) and someone with whom I’m sure I’ll cross paths again sometime in the future. After Nice, Michelle went on to Switzerland and I left for Spain – which turned out to be very fun-filled: lots of sun, lots of beach parties, a few nightclubs,  Anyway for the first installment this will have to do and I’ll save Spain for next week. At the moment I’m in London, visiting Clare, as it’s my birthday on Friday night and anything could happen ! Keep your eye on this site , More to come …………….

    Hi! I love your posts! they’re so mad!

  20. I intended to put you a very small remark so as to say thank you as before for all the great things you have featured on this website. It is open-handed of people like you to offer easily what most people would’ve distributed as an e book to help with making some cash on their own, chiefly given that you could possibly have tried it in the event you considered necessary. These solutions as well worked to become a great way to be sure that other individuals have similar fervor like mine to know the truth very much more when considering this condition. I am certain there are a lot more pleasurable opportunities up front for people who look into your website.

  21. I must show my appreciation to the writer just for bailing me out of this type of setting. Right after searching through the internet and seeing solutions which were not beneficial, I figured my life was done. Living without the presence of answers to the difficulties you have fixed by means of your main article is a critical case, as well as those which might have negatively damaged my entire career if I hadn’t come across your site. Your personal know-how and kindness in taking care of every item was vital. I don’t know what I would have done if I had not come upon such a subject like this. I can at this time look forward to my future. Thanks for your time very much for the reliable and result oriented help. I won’t be reluctant to recommend your web blog to anybody who should have guide on this topic.
