So much to see, so little time etc. Here's a few photos of my trip around Italy over the last two weeks! I'll try and keep them in chronological order.
Photo 1 - San Vitale church in Ravenna. This city is famous for its incredible mosaics.
Photo 2 - Piazza San Marco, Venice - the city of gondola's and 400 bridges!
Photo 3 - Burano, Venice - a quaint, colourful village famous for its lace-work.
Photo 4 - Verona, home of Romeo & Juliette.
Photo 5 - Me ordering a meal in Piazza Bra in Verona. Check out the size of that menu!
Photo 6 - Roman Arena in Verona. Now used for opera and other performances.
Photo 7 - Juliette's balcony. There's also a statue of her and it's said if you stroke her left breast it'll bring you luck - not sure if I believe that considering how she ended up!
Photo 8 - Travelling the scenic route through the southern alps. Not good if you suffer from motion sickness like I do, but I managed!
Photo 9 - My friend, Erin, and I walking the paths of Cinque Terre in the rain! This is the village of Manarola - look at the terrace farms above the village!
Photo 10 - Monterosso, another one of the five villages in Cinque Terre. We stayed here in the historical quarter.
Photo 11 - Palazza Pfanner Gardens in Lucca. A gorgeous 3 storey palace complete with relaxing garden, fountains and statues of the gods.
Photo 12 - Shutters on every window on every home in Italy.
Photo 13 - A butcher's shop in Lucca - love the food in Italy, need I say more?

Wow, looks like you're having a fantastice trip! I remember that old arena in Verona - when we were there Kiss were performing there that night and so the whole place was full of people dressed up like Kiss.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're trying to gelati! At least a different flavour every day!

Oh love the piccies and you look like you are having a fantastic time. Brings back memories of my trip to Italy 10 years ago - oh goodness!
ReplyDeleteI want to know if you stroked Juliet's left breast and then got the request for the full from Berkley. Maybe we should all head to Verona for a bit of breast stroking.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos in all three Pic blogs. You could be a professional!
