Roma...
Its been long since I have been here.. :( Don't know why.. just did not have anything to share..or rather..did not bother making the effort.. :(
Just back from a wonderful & fun trip to Italy.. We went to Rome, Florence and Pisa.. Had a blast... Rome was bright and sunny.. a beautiful place. We hired a guide who told us a lot about the Roman history and how the Roman empire came about. For the first half an hour it was interesting after that.. I was like.. Yeah.. Whatever!
The city of Rome itself is extremely beautiful (not as much as London.. but may be I am biased). The streets, the frightfully expensive designer shops, the entire city is filled with tourists.. and luckily a lot of people actually spoke English. Food wise, being vegetarians we stuck to Bruschetta & Penne/Pasta most times. The pizza's in Rome were pathetic! The ice-creams were really really good.. one of the best ice-creams that I have ever had.. slurp...slurp...
Vatican City the smallest sovereign state in the world was fascinating. St Peter's Basilica being the best. Its beautiful.. its an absolute treat to the eyes. The domes, the walls, paintings and the list goes on - Basically Roman Architecture at its best.. Its grand and splendid..
Florence was a nice city.. filled with art and artifacts.. but not my kind... !
80 miles from Florence is Pisa.. a small village where the 'leaning tower of Pisa' is situated...
I just loved this place.. We also got to climb the tower.. it was a great experience. Since the tower is leaning.. as you climb the stairs to go up to the tower.. the power of gravity pulls you to one side. There is always restoration going on.. but even then.. the tower is standing leaning to a side for centuries even after soo many people going up and down the tower every day. Thats probably why its called a 'wonder of the world'
All in all.. was a fantastic trip.. with lots to see and do... The leather shops in Italy were amazing.. I went crazy looking at the shops there, Italian leather is beautiful.. and the designs they have there is superb.. !
