This time one year ago….

From Pisa to Rome, The many man made wonders along the way…

The leaning tower fo Pisa, there really was not much else happening in Pisa, so this attraction really provides the area with an income from tourism.

All in all Rome was rather dissapointing as a city however the tourist attractions here are incredible. The Colosseum was amazing, it is such a shame that all the marble was stripped from the facade to erect a hideous monument to the leader at the time.

The trevi fountain was an amazing feat of engineering in its day and remains one of the highlights of the city. Ghost stories and all.

The Vatican city and in particular St Peter’s Basilica was incredible, the amount of craftsmanship, attention to detail and money that went into the construction is amazing.

Next stop on the trip we head from Monaco into Italy and the lovely Cinque Terre region. This area along the coast is a series of 5 villages joined by a railway and a coastal walk. This area was stunning and one of the nicest places to relax and soak up the culture.

From Cinque Terre we headed to Florence, an amazing culture of arts, food and history. The further south we went the warmer the weather was getting and with that longer daylight hours which meant we could experience so much more of this wonderful country.
