Hotel 5 Terre Monterosso

... to the underground prison. Oh it was aweful.. I just imagined how people stayed there for years untill they died.. Yes, the Middle Ages where cruel...<br>By the way we were late for the airport already and we couldn't get out of that prison quickly))) There was an impression we were really imprisoned lol)<br>And finally we quitted the Doge's Palace, for the last time ran through the San Marco Square and soon were on our way to the airport..

We are traveling today to Siena and won't be able to communicate for awhile so wanted to give a big shout out to our friend John Ruppe. Have a good one bro, we love you!! We also wanted to tell the Heavens above to give Mick's Grandpa Ted a kiss and hug and ask to ...

We leave here tommorrow at 6AM for the airport.<br>I have taken over 200 pictures si I will upload them when we get home. Nothing here<br><br> really works with my camera or my cellphone. <br>

... of place for sure. Can you imagine shopping by helicopter. Turned out to be a great day even if the temperature was over 30C. I can't imagine living any place like this. The Cinque Terre consists of 5 villages and they all have streets that are very steep. Even walking to and from dinner was a chore for me. Ted was perfectly fine with it. <br>

... multicolored town homes. We first searched out a place to get some money and find accommodations. Our first stop was to get reservations for our train out of Cinquee Terre to Rome and our overnight from Rome to Munich. We were then surprised to find out there would be a train strike on the day we hoped to leave and that no trains would be coming or going in this area. So it looked like we would be stuck in paradise for one extra day, guess worst things could happen.<br> We asked a ...

... has flown anything other than economy, and we could sure get used to it! I questioned the advisability of including baked beans on the breakfast menu, but figured I'd give a thumbs up to anything that would propel us to London faster - and it did! We arrived 20 minutes ahead of schedule. Once we landed at Gatwick airport in London, we made our way to the north terminal and checked in for our 10:10 flight. We had traded in some air miles to fly ...

... to the second town, Montarola, where we had lunch.  I had pesto which was amazing, and tried some of Lauren's fried Calamari and shrimp which was very good too. HTe second leg of the trails was from Montarola to Corniglia.  That hike took about 45 minutes and was just as nice as the first.  The views were always good, and you could even see some of the towns in front or behind you.  We walked through a lot of ...

We made our first trip to Venice today after a failed attempt of getting on the wrong train and going all the way to Slovenia! We were happy that we got it right this time! And since it is January, it was a bit on the cold side. But we had fun exploring and getting lost. I had no idea Venice was so big. We must have ...

... Last look at Venice before entering the station...grand city, being restored, but a decaying city. Some definite mystery about it though, and not having to worry about cars is just lovely! More pay toilets (and more receipts), and chocolates, and some Venetian glass as a souvenir. Finally headed off, and tried the train restaurant which had good food and wine, but again we were early - ah well. Back in Florence, disorientated in the dark, managed to find the garage, and the ...
