Day 10: Florence
... Michelangelo, which is on the top of a hill and overlooks the entirety of Florence across the river. My God, was it beautiful. Not only could we see the whole city, but also tumbling Tuscan hills with Cyprus trees and an old city wall unrolling into the distance. Not a bad couple of hours to spend in the afternoon. The hike up to Piazzale Michelangelo was strenuous, so we took our time coming back down the hill and across the river on our way to Santa Croce, a cathedral that houses ...
Are Australians the global bogans???
... lie in the sun. Alas, our peace was short lived when a monster wave came and crashed onto the shore, drenching us with water. As an amused (and actually very nice) American from our tour noted some time later, I wasn’t very happy. I think on this occasion, everyone in town would have heard the Cuss.

This is the second time I have been to this cemetry and again the sadness and beauty of the place struck me. Such a terrible loss of life which has continued to have an affect on so many. ...
My mama's visit to Florence, Italy
... the place near school! In the afternoon we taxied to the top of the Michelangelo walk! I had left my camera in the taxi by accident but the company ended up tracking it down and I got very lucky. We sat on the stairs of the Michelangelo and drank wine and ate Baklava. It was a treat! One of the best memories of my lifetime for sure! Just being able to experience the whole thing with my MOM! So much appreciation for this world and we ...
