The Big V´s
Hi again,
Another addition to the travel blog of the year.
Almost finished our solo stage of the trip & meet up with the bus tour in Vienna this Saturday.
Florence was a treat and hard to beat but we had a nice little treat in Verona and Vennice. Verona was such a suprise!, main reason for the visit was to see the roman arena but found so much more! A beautiful clean and friendly City without the millions of tourists in other Italian Cities!..we had a wonderful time walking around the Old city and enjoying the peace & Quiet (and Gelati) before the hustle of Venice.
Venice was everything I expected A spectacular City.. Was once a huge powerful republic and you can still see the money and power it had. Thousands of tourists again but once you left the Grand Canal & checked out the back alleys ans side streets, it was quite bearable. Deb & I had the necessary Gondola ride, spent lots of money on overpriced food and entry fees but had a wonderful time.
Left Italy yesterday and made our way to Vienna by way of a spectacular 7 hour train journey….but thats a story for next time.
Keep the comments comming and catch you all soon
