We are back from Italy

What a wonderful trip we had.
These are just a few photos to show you where we went and what we did.


In Rome we toured the Colosseum

and the Vatican with all the famous works of art,


we tossed a coin into Trevi Fountain,

and sat on The Spanish Steps.

In Florence we saw the great Duomo but didn't climb to the top,
walked over the Ponte Vecchio,
saw three versions of the statue of David,
and watched the sun set over Florence from the Michaelangelo Hill.We spent our time in Tuscany on a wine and olive farm
and negotiated our way through the narrow streets.
We visited the medieval towns of San Gimignano and Siena,
and rode a Segway in Pisa.
We wound our way about the canals of Venice,

had waterside seats for the Regata Storica,

toured the beautiful Palazzo Ducale,
visited the colourful island of Burano,
drank and ate all the delicious Italian fare on offer




and generally had a great time!
Now it is back to work.
