After that we ditched our tour group and went off on our wn in Rome. And am I glad we did. We went scullking through all the little side streets and got horribly lost....and stumbled upon a little cafe here they had the Dallas-Detriot hockey game on....Guess where we stopped !!!! HAHAHAHA...Watched the last period and had acouple of Martini's. We then kept on our lost way and came upon Piazza De Norvona...The we found the Pantheon...This was an incredible find. While we were there we joined a free tour from a young American fellow who was really good. We then had lunch in the piazza right beside the Pantheon !!
Were Here !!
! What a rush !! After lunch (Which by this time was about 6pm) we meet up with him agin at a different spot an he took us on a 2 1/2 hour walking tour of some great spots in Rome (Trevi fountain, Spanish steps...and much more...) By the time we were done it was 10pm and we were MILES away from our hotel....LOST again in ROME !! So we did what any Canadian would do...we went to the closest drinking establishment !! A couple of vinnos later and we were ready to go....We decided to walk back to the hotel...Even though we didn't have a clue as to where we were going !! We made it about 1 block and stopped at a McDonalds !!! HAHAHA...Too funny....After that we walked for 2 hours in the general direction of our hotle along the Tiber river. We then called a taxi to get us the rest of the way. We did all ight as the cab only cost us 15.00.The next day we were off to Pisa...Its a long drive, about 4 hours with a couple of stops along the way. Its a beautiful country. Alway something to see. Pisa was very cool. After Pisa were reached our next stop. Motecatini. There wer had a really nice dinner and some wine and a well needed sleep. It is now noon and were are still here in the Tuscany valley in Motecatini. Im in an internet cafe right now while Vickie looks in the shops. This is a very cool little town. About the size of Nanaimo but really noce. Typically Italian.
Well thats it for now. Were are ere until Friday. Tomorrow were go to Florence for the day and we are going to a Villa tomorrow night for dinner. Looking forward to that. I will try to keep posting as this cafe is just a block away from our hotel.
Take Car e ALL !!!
