Beautiful Italy!


Good morning beautiful Italy!

I wish I could wake up like this every day with the sun on my face and a little breeze of air. I’m happy that it’s not that warm as it was in Djerba. I know it’s kind of weird to wish for it to be colder but the warmth was sometimes too much to take.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Let’s enjoy the scenery of Italy today! Before arriving in Italy I had already looked up some places I really wanted to visit. Rome, Tuscany, Firenze, San Marino, Milan and the romantic Venice.

All the cities looked a little alike but I can’t get over the fact how beautiful the St. Peter’s Square is in Vatican City. I particularly liked the construction and style of the buildings.

Rome attracts so much tourist because it’s being adjudged as a romantic and rich place that everyone would love. If there is one thing you should name if you think of Rome, it must be the various coliseums which have different ancient and artistic designs. Those designs were made years ago by famous architects in Rome. If you want to you can also take a glimpse on the Catacombs. There you can find underground burial sites of Christians in Rome. Maybe you’ll think that a morbid place, but it’s very fascinating once you’ve seen it!

If you are a hiker go to Tuscany! Because of the amazing landscape you will have an experience you will never forget. You will see amazing hills with vineyards, olive groves, wheat fields, cornflowers etc.  You can also choose to go by bike although sometimes the hills can become tiring if you’re not used to ride a bike on a daily base. Tuscany is also a very attractive place for people who like to play golf! Oh, I almost forgot the most important thing: wine! Nowhere else in the world the culture of wine is as large as in Tuscany. I’ve tasted so much wine there I can’t believe I was still standing up. I would love to go back someday.

Firenze is the Italian name for the city of Florence. Of course I would love to tell you everything I saw in Florence, but I guess I would be sitting here writing all day long. I’ll just tell you about the most fascinating building I was over there. The Florence cathedral is the main church of Florence. The ‘Duomo’ as they call it over there, was begun in 1292 in the Gothic style to the design of Arnolfo di Cambio. I really love the exterior of the basilica! It has such a beautiful Gothic style with pink borders by white.
I could keep on writing about all the beautiful things I saw in Italy. But I guess you guys are already waiting for my second visit: Paris!

Talk to you later bloggers!
