A long time ago I started to plan a travell to Italy. Acutally it should have been Rome but I did not want to spend so much money so the plan changed to Tuscanny and Milano/Verona. Last week I did it! I went to Milano for one week: summer, sun, good food and the sea! Sure I have the sea here as well but almost no sunshine and sometimes it could be really cold. It was so nice that I think about doing it with the kids again but not in summer with all the tourists around.

The travel started in Milano. That for I had to take the bus from Galway to Dublin at 2am in the morning. That was hard. I did not get much sleep that night. I took of at 7:20 and arrived at 10:40am in the sun. We went down to Genua and to the sea ...
Via Reggio |
Am Abend sind wir schon in Florenz angekommen. Frau haette mal besser die Wetterseiten studiert, denn es war warm und ich hatte doch (fast) gar keine Sommersachen eingepackt *gg* So stand ich wohl als typische Touristin in Montepulciano und Siena mit langen Aermeln. Aber frau kann ja auch nicht alles haben.
Montepulciano (Twillight) |
Can you see me shining? If you like movies you may know which movie took place here ...
Siena Duomo |
Later we drove to Bagni Vignoni and Siena. I did not believe when a friend told me that Siena will be much nicer than Florence but she was right.
Ponte Vecchio Florenz |
I thought Florence would be much bigger and much more to see. Just the dome was seen from everywhere but we did not get up ...
Duomo Florenz |
After so much sight seeing we went to the Gardalake up in the north. It looked really empty there. I remeber so many tourists there in summer but it was a good place to stay. The next day we went to Verona. Unfortunately there was no opera in the arena that days so we only could have a look around. I am not a fan of opera but maybe one day I will watch aida or nabucco in that fabulous arena.
Arena di Verona |
Still very a impressive place. Also now on the to-do list for my next trip to Italy...
Giulietta |
A lot of people maybe just visit Verona because of her: Giulietta! Isn't she beautiful? Such a tragically story she tells...
Duomo Milano |
Mailand 27 Grad C Sonne ---> Dublin 17 Grad C Sturm ---> Galway 12 Grad C Regen und Sturm
And than the last day came. Back in Milano! One last walk to the dome and this time I went up on the roof. Than I had to start packing my luggage again. Milano 27C sun ---> Dublin 17C storm ---> Galway 12C rain and storm
