In Amsterdam
25 Eylül 2018, Hollanda ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
We started the day with a breakfast at "Dam Coffe" near Dam Square, after some photos of the square we visited the souvenirs shops and then made our way to Anne Frank house,.

The museum was a bit emotional. Learning about the Frank's life in the Nazi ocupated Amsterdam and their tragic ending touched us deep in our hearts.

From Anne Franks house we rode a tram to Leindseplein were we had lunch and in the afternoon we visited the museumplein. Being this late the museums were packed and so was the "I Amsterdam" sign, we will come back earlier another day.

In the evening we did a bit of walking to see the city at night, a bit disappointed that it was a bit dark, not as spectacular as it seems in postcardsOkumaya devam et

Windmill experience
26 Eylül 2018, Hollanda ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
We had a bit of Netherlands experience today at the Zaanse Schans. I must admit the place is a bit touristy but what the hell this is the closest we will get to Dutch countryside.

The place had some magic and was particularly special to me. Ever since my dad painted some windmills I always dreamed of visiting a place like this.

From Amsterdam was an easy 45 minutes ride on bus 391 from Amsterdam centraal. Ww spent half a day walking along windmills, cheese making workshops and farms. There were plenty of photo opportunities and time to chill out

In the afternoon we took a canal cruise that turned out to be pretty good. It was an open boat with only 15 people on board with made for a far better experienceOkumaya devam et

Travelling to the eternal city
27 Eylül 2018, İtalya ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Early breakfast and then to Schipol airport for our 2 hour fly to Rome. I had to pay 60 euros for the third bag, something I expected however the process was a bit painful, they should make this easier.

Anyway once in the plane everything went ok with some great views of the Alps as we cruise towards Rome.

We arrived at Fiumicino airport close to 4pm and by the time we walked like 4 kms to get to the train, wait for this train to get moving, etc we ended up getting to our hotel at around 5pm.

We have some dinner and then had a rest... tomorrow we are off to the coloseum..Okumaya devam et

In the gladiator's arena
28 Eylül 2018, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
So tired today... but it was a really exciting one. We visited the Roman forum and the Colosseum.

First was.the forum. We have a guided tour and that made things easier, it was good to walk around with clear explanation of what we were viewing.

Next was the colosseum with special entrance to the gladiator arena. It was.so breathtaking to be there where thousands of years ago these epic battles took place.

We then proceeded to the upper level for a birds view and the classic photo, the steps were so steep that in drenched all our energies...Okumaya devam et

Walking in Rome
29 Eylül 2018, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Ok, we had to give Pompeii a miss and instead headed for some walking in Rome. First we went back to the colosseum to have some better photos of the exterior, we were just to tired to do it yesterday.

From there we went to the Pantheon. We initially decided not to get inside as the queue was ridiculously long however as we sat there to have a rest we noticed that at around 12:30 there was almost no line so we walked straight in. I guess people were just having lunch, anyway there were some crowds inside but reasonably ok for some photos.

From there we headed to Piaza Navona where we spent the rest of the afternoon.Okumaya devam et

Fountains and Piazzas
30 Eylül 2018, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
As advised by many we got up early today and went straight to Trevi Fountain. We missed the bus just for a couple of minutes so we ended up taking a taxi for 7 euros. We arrived there at around 7:20am and as expected there were just some 20 people there.

We took some photos, had a rest and then made our way to the Spanish steps. The walk is nice and along some tipical roma streets with photo opportunity at every corner.

There were even less people at the steps and we rested here. We were then in need of breakfast but most of the places were closed and the few opened were offering pizzas, not our idea of breakfast so we headed back to the hotel for breakfast there.

In the afternoon we went to the piazza dei popolo just to find there was an anti-government demonstration so we quickly got out of there and went back to piazza di spagna that was now ridiculously packed with tourist, thanks god we went in the morning. Ximena started to feel a bit sick, we'll see how she goes tomorrow.Okumaya devam et

At the Vatican
1 Ekim 2018, Vatikan Şehri ⋅ 🌧 20 °C
Today I headed in the morning to the Vatican to visit the Sistine chapel and St Peter's basilica. Ximena did not come, feeling still a bit sicky..

I have booked with City Wonders the express entry so we entered there before it got too busy. The Sistine Chapel was really impressive although a bit smaller than expected. Unfortunately we weren't allow to take pictures.

From the chapel we visited St Peter's basilica , impressive by it's size and ornate.

Lastly I had photos of St Peter's square and then visited the outside of Castle and ponte Sant'Angello just on time before the rain started.

Back to the hotel around 11am, Ximena had just woken up feeling still nit so good so we just spent of the afternoon at the hotel... it was heavily raining outside anyway.Okumaya devam et

Florence
2 Ekim 2018, İtalya ⋅ 🌬 14 °C
Last breakfast at hotel Serena and then off to Roma Termini to catch our Frecciarossa train to Florence. The train went up to 250km/h so it covered the distance in a bit over an hour.

We arrived in Florence around 1 pm, had a rest and then went for a walk to see the city. The city centre is really compact and easily walked. Most of the roads are closed to traffic anyway.

The architecture is impressive from the Duomo, the baptistery to the palazzo and ponte vecchio. The streets are narrow and filled with shops.

We did not visit the galleries because first, they were all crowded and then we are not so fond of museums. On top of that Ximena is just getting over the virus she caught in Rome. We just enjoyed walking this beautiful city.Okumaya devam et

In Pisa
3 Ekim 2018, İtalya ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
As we always do, we got early and beat the crowds. We took the 7:50 train to Pisa and arrived at Pisa Centralle at 9am, well maybe not that early but enough to get there before all the tour buses. Ximena woke up perfectly fine...good news

Getting from the station to the Tower was failry simple, we just ride the LAM ROSSE bus for 10 minutes.

The place is spectacular and we got astonished looking at the Tower. In reality the complex also includes the Baptistery and the Duomo, all beautiful buildings. At around 10:30 am the buses were pouring people from every corner so we went for breakfast and then walked back to the station (around 2km)

To our surprise the trains back to Florence were cancelled due to a suicidal person that got killed on the way, fortunately by 3pm everything was restored and were back ar Florence at 4:20pm.

Our last stop was the Piazzale Michelangiolo with stunning vistas over Florence. Of course we didn't want to miss it but being so tired we grabbed a taxi that took us there for 20 Euros (from Pisa Santa Maria Novella). The views and atmosphere were worth the money.Okumaya devam et

Arriving in Venice: City of Canals
4 Ekim 2018, İtalya ⋅ 🌙 15 °C
From Florence we took the Frecciargento speed train to Venice. We arrived in this beautiful city at around midday the hotel checking was at 2pm so we left the bags in custody and went for lunch.

For a break we had Chinese food and then went to have a look at the canals.

After checking in we had a rest in the afternoon and then went for dinner at 6pm. At 7 we were on the Vaporetto cruising along the gran canal with some glimpses of the sunset. We disembarked at Piazza San Marco and check the beautiful architecture of the campanille and the dodge palace. We wonder around some canals and then rode back to the hotel in the Vaporetto at 10pmOkumaya devam et
