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!
