Ok, we're now posting from Milan! What have we been up to since then? Well, from Sorrento we did a day trip to Capri
, we caught a chairlift (scary) to the top of the island, and here's a sample of the pretty veiw. Capri was just beautiful, though a bit blowy and cold!We also have a photo of our tour group for you, also from Capri
John took a boat tour around Capri (I sipped coffee in a cafe) and took a shot of these pretty rocks, the signature of Capri, but John has forgotten their names. But they are famous, trust us.After our two nights in Sorrento, we headed off to Florence! But on the way, we dropped off in the Chianti region for some wine tasting. Here you can see me sampling the local drop (jolly good stuff, if you ask my opinion!)
We spent two nights in Florence, and saw lots; the Baptisery, David (who, btw, was awesome!) the Gallery de Fuzi ( totally not spelt correctly), which had some pretty pictures, and this very cute bridge, which is lined completely by jewellery shops. We did some kareoke (I got up, John didn't), went out to a night club (pretty ordinary, and flooded by 15 year olds :S), and did lots of walking down pretty streets.
But soon enough Florence was over, and it was time to head to La Spezia. Along the way we dropped off at Piza, but the Piza photos are on the other camera, so you'll have to wait :P
We also dropped off at one of the 'five lands', little villages along the coast. They were pretty spectacular, here's a sample of one shot.
La Spezia was actually pretty boring, and so I won't talk about it. Today we drove to Milan, and spent the entire afternoon perusing the shops.
And there were lots of shops, all with the nice pretty names above them that imply you will be charged €300 for a tea towel. We did lots of looking, but suprisingly, no buying.
The Duamo (church) in the middle of town was pretty impressive, so we thought we'd show you that as well.
Thanks guys for all the posts we've been getting, we know we haven't been replying to them, but we certainly do read them, and appreciate them. I will responed to a few of the questions from comments. The food is adequate, but a little boring. Yes I am wearing a beret, my beret from home though, so it's not exciting. The french keyboards are aweful, but the Italian ones are a litte bit more usable. GO THE KNIGHTS!
Everything is going well over here. Tomorrow is off to Venice for two nights. Currently there is a party going on in the Holiday Inn bar, so we'd best go and attend.
Cya all later
Bob and John
