Celebration!

The Vatican City.

My first tour in Rome was a tour of the Vatican City, and guess what we had a dutch guide, she moved like 4 weeks ago to Rome. She was very passionate about history. Here are some pictures of Vatican City, the world smallest country with his own radio station, post office and more.

A stop in Tuscany!

On our way to Rome we stopped in Tuscany,  first stop was San Gimignano or like I would called it would tourist trap, beautiful buildings but eveything here is catered to the tourist we did not stay long here.I  stayed overnight in a bed and breakfast in Siena, love this town. This one was alive, full of energy. They were getting ready for the Palio, I had the best dinner here The proscuitto was amazing the Chianti lovely. I know I want to spent more time in Siena next time. On our way to Rome we drove along the coast and made a quick stop so I can put my toes in the Mediterrean Sea. Here are some of the pictures.

It's official I dunked my feets in the Meditterean sea.

 

There are so many fields of sun flowers.

Rome totally Amazing!

I have been MIA (my favorite word ) for a couple of days...... but I am still in Rome, it has been long days spent walking and more walking everywhere, from Spanish Steps to the Vatican City . I have seen so much and took I think over 2000 pictures.
The internet has been quite slow so it takes a long time to download. I have been uploading some on my facebook page but haven't had any time to blog. This picture is the proof that I am not lying, I have been in awe mode since I got here, everything here in Italy is Amazing, I need time to take it all in. I promise that I will post pictures, that is when I get a better internet connection until then, Ciao!
