Travel Blogs from Tuscany, Italy
On our way to Florence
This is a top pick! We tried to make an early start as today we have to get ourselves to Italia. As I don't have a passport at this time we cannot use airplanes. My passport is still with the visa agency in Holland. So we travel by train today. Our friends went out of their ...
Florence and Tuscany
This is a top pick! 3rd-5th August Its Mandy hear, I'm giving Pete a rest as we have a few blogs to get through. We planned to go to Rome and the Amalfi Coast near Naples but after the craziness of Cinque Terre and Grossetto we decided to head towards Florence and ...
Under the Tuscan Sun -- mostly
This is a top pick! ... we ended up splitting the vacation into 10 days in Central Europe (see July 31 entry) and 1 week in Florence and Tuscany. We chose Italy in December because Amsterdam doesn't get much sun in the wintertime, which can be depressing. Italy is close ...
Pisa and Florence
This is a top pick! Well, the day could have started better.... I missed my train to the airport by about 30 seconds: I was close enough to hear it pulling away from the station, dammit. But it gave me a chance to wake up slightly more than I was. ...
Florence renaissance overdose
This is a top pick! We had booked a suite for two days and a standard room for today so we have to change rooms. We packed the suitcases and the Hotel was kind enough to move them later on when the other room was ready. After our breakfast we headed out to the Ufizzi ...
A cheeky pre-holiday... and an engagement
This is a top pick! Up at 03.45am for the hour and a bit drive to Glasgow Prestwick, and a flight to Pisa. We met up with friends Si & Gill later that afternoon where it took Ida a full 10 minutes to notice the glittering diamond on Gill's finger. Off to Borgo di ...
Viva Firenze.
This is a top pick! We woke up to a beautiful sunny day in Florence. The temperature was comfortable as we headed out to explore the city. We walked along the river side towards the Uffizi museum. According to the various sites on the internet it is better to reserve ...
Gorgeous goreous gorgeous Siena
This is a top pick! Italian classes are progressing well. We had a test last Friday, so I was forced to revise. Unfortunately I am a bit lazy and still speak in English at home as the girls speak such good English. I must try and practise my Italian more! Since I last ...
Back to school
This is a top pick! CLasses have started at the Leonardo school. Lessons are going well and I feel that we are learning quite quickly. I get to sleep in as lessons don't start til 9am, and the school is only a 10 minute walk from the apartment. I stop off for a coffee and ...
To Pisa We Go
This is a top pick! Our train didn't leave Rome till just after noon so we got to sleep in and took our time eating breakfast and checking out. After an uneventful and boring ride to Pisa we arrived around 4pm and found our hostel really easily. We were hit with a very ...
What!? The Tower Isn`t Made of Pizza? Those Liars!
This is a top pick! After a horrible sleep we got up a little tired in the morning. The first half of the night was swelteringly hot and so we had to keep the windows open but this just let the mosquitoes in so I (Jackie) woke up with a ton of bites, although once again ...
A Day in Florence With Michelangelo's David
This is a top pick! Since Florence was only a little over an hour by train we decided to go and see Michelangelo's David and lots of his other sculptures. Thankfully we arrived at the museum around 11:00am because the line tripled its size at 12:00pm, we did have to wait an ...
My what a big Gelati you have..
This is a top pick! Ditching off the cultural tour of Florence we ended up just walking around on our own, but did check out David (Michelangelo's) but he was having a few repairs so was mostly hidden by scaffolding. We ended up constantly walking past the same merry ...
Tuscan country side
This is a top pick! ... list of must sees that Ben, an Italian and ex colleague of mine gave me when I asked him for tips on a visit to Tuscany. And indeed it was a special sight. Nowadays men compensate certain shortcomings with the size of their car or boat. But in medieval ...
Florence day 3
This is a top pick! Phew, another scorcher today!!! I ate a tasty cheese panini for brekkie and then headed off slowly into the city. My calves were killing me from the 9 hours of walking and standing I did yesterday so the pace today today was gonna have to be ...
Straighten Up
This is a top pick! · Pisa, Tuscany, Italy · GMT +1:00 hour Alternate Route Next stop Pisa, a short 1 hour train ride west from Florence and somewhere we had decided to drop in on before continuing onto Rome. The beauty of going to Rome from Pisa is that we'll be ...
The Renaissance Migraine
This is a top pick! · Florence, Tuscany, Italy · GMT +1:00 hour Boring Arty Stuff? Our brief stop in northern Italy came to an end and we moved south to the Tuscany region and a 3 night stay in its capital, Florence. The region of Tuscany may be better known ...
Florence and more damn tourists
This is a top pick! Well, I hadn't forgotten one thing about camping in the summer - you can't get a lie-in:it was like a swedish sauna by about 8.30am. So it was a quick shower and then off into the city centre. I decided to walk it rather than taking the bus, ...
Livin' La Dolce Vita
This is a top pick! ... away down alleys of modern cities; seaside towns that smell like perfume; and a bounty of fresh vegetables, homemade sweets, and Tuscany wine. Italy has been a feast of sights, smells and tastes. Eager to see it all, we scurried around the great sites ...
Short stop in Siena
This is a top pick! Siena, known as Italy's Gothic gem, was another short stop which we unfortunately did not have enough time to explore in-depth and would have to come back to, when we return to do a tour of the Italian wine lands (hopefully in a few years ...
Boboli Gardens
This is a top pick! (C) Yesterday we went to the Pitti Palace to buy a three-day pass which all the guidebooks said we could get. This would have given us time in the Pitti Palace museums plus the Boboli and everything else. Because it was very popular, the ...
Florence at first glance
This is a top pick! ... cue - maybe a few minutes early since they hadn't lit all the candles yet, and had the most pleasant dinner so far in Italy. For appetizer, Sara had tagliatelle with ragu and I had gnochettini with some sort of delicious tomato mix. I had an ...
Casentino and the battle of Poppi
This is a top pick! (C) We went to Poppi (which Sara calls Poopi) because it was the home of the Guidos. We hoped to see some guidos, but couldn't find any. I think they were hiding. We visited their giant castle in Poopi and saw the dungeon where they ...
Little Black Airplane Clouds
This is a top pick! (C) We made it! Only took two days. Fog delay into Salt Lake. Missed connection. Equipment delay into Atlanta, missed connection by 2 minutes. Grrr. Overnight in Atlanta's finest airport inn, which might have rented by ...
Dead Wrinkly Guy
This is a top pick! We jumped on a train to Florence after a bit of a sleep in arriving a few hours later. As we were aimlessly wandering out of the station a guy with a cigar hanging out of his mouth approached us asking if we needed a place to stay. Replying with a ...
Rendezvous Above Firenze
This is a top pick! ... the Oltrarno (which means beyond the Arno - or across the river) for some snacks and of course some delicious Moretti beer - Italy's best. I climbed the hill to the piazza and walked around the souvenir vendors and tourists. Chad joined me and after a ...
A few photos from Fiesole
This is a top pick! A pretty quiet week for me as I came down with a nasty cold when I got back from the Amalfi coast. I took a few days off school and am now almost better. My housemates are away for another couple of days, so the house is quiet too. But the weather is ...
Picnic - Palmerino style
This is a top pick! ... Plan B - I'll make my broccoli salad and you'll make meatballs. Well, it turns out, broccoli can be be found in Italy, but regular bacon, cheddar cheese and sunflower seeds, all essential in broccoli salad, are a bit sparse. Like nonexistent. I spent one ...
Finishing Italy in a Hurry
This is a top pick! ... so we thought. Before I noticed the spelling on the board above the track and realized we were getting on a train to Genova, Italy and not Geneve, Switzerland. Between Genoa, Genova and Geneva I'm sure there's a lot of confused, misplaced people.) And we ...
"The Wall"
This is a top pick! Please read NOTHING into the fact that there has been an excess of Pink Floyd albums as titles for entries. Never did like them... one thing the spouse and I disagreed on re music. "The Wall' however was the starting point for today's exploration. La ...
