Our stay in Florence – took the train from Rome, spent several days in the old city and a day in the Tuscan hills – bicycling and visiting wineries. Also took a bike trip through Florence one morning. Gorgeous city – like living in the 1500’s. Lots of churches, galleries, statues, great food, great wine, gelato, doors and amazing ceilings!
Day trip to the Isle of Capri – a too-long bus ride from Rome to Naples, then a boat ride over to the Isle. Then back to Rome! Robin was sick all day – I hiked up from the port to town. Straight uphill, but worth the climb!
A long flight to Rome made longer with a missed flight at JFK – got to Rome via Paris! Lots of history – Forum area, layers of the old city (old Rome, medieval and “modern”), vestal virgins, Coliseum, Spanish Steps, Hadrians’ Tomb, Vatican, Pieta – lots of walking and great food!
