The leaning tower of Pisa :) It was amazing to see it after hearing so much about it. I went and got my photos (the sun wasn't in the right position so they aren't very good!) and then got back on the bus. If you've never been to Pisa then you wouldn't know but there are loads of people trying to sell you everything you can think of and it does get quite irritating. So we arrived in Lucerne in the afternoon and walked across the river, bags and all, to our hote...

42 degrees ahhhhh!! Well we got up early to go and see a leather demonstration which was interesting I guess. After this we went for a walk to get some local food. Even tried some beef sandwich thing so I got a chicken sandwich and a cafe creme ( like a coffee frappe, really nice!). After food we went to the museum to see David and thanks to a nice tip, we went straight in and skipped the hour line :) So David was absolutely amazing and spectacular! It was so ...

Rome to Florence :) Before we arrived in Florence we went to a vineyard for some wine tasting. For those that know me, I'm a beer girl and I don't do wine.

Surprisingly, the red I first tried (my glass and another glass I stole from someone), was actually nice. A...

So I've learnt not to judge a book by its cover, as Rome was quite beautiful and had so many amazing sites to see! We woke early to get the metro into Rome (public transport went on strike at 8.30 :( ). Once in Rome we went to the Vatican city and visited the museum and Sistine chapel (the roof, was amazing). After this we went to st.peters which is so big and beautiful. After the Vatican city we returned to Italy and bought some pizza by weight which was amaz...

Rome..... What a dump! Well that was my first impressions anyway! Before we got to Rome we stopped at an outlet mall for some shopping, an hour wasn't much time but Kate and I ran around all the shops, buying some things as we went :) So driving into Rome and seeing a dirty, slum looking city wasn't what I really expected, but then in the city centre, seeing all these amazing buildings really did change my mind! All the ancient buildings e.g. Fountains, colosse...
