We leave Rome early in the morning to head to Venice. By the afternoon we have arrived at the city of water. A quick ferry ride from camp drops us at the door of this magnificant city. From the wat Venice is breathtaking, whether it be cruising in on a ferry or gliding around on a gondola each wall of Venice is captivating and tells a story. St' Marks Square contains more birds than people and there are more tourists there than locals. The tourists really take aw...

However, a tuscan dinner awaited us in Florence and more breathtaking sc...

A day to explore where the rich come to flaunt their money and where the everyday people come to watch them do it. Cars attract attention at every set of lights. Lunch is enjoyed, in the sun, at outside cafes. Fountains keep...
