On to Prague……and lots more
So it has been quite a while since I last posted anything and a lot has happened. Barcelona was simply an amazing city. Our first hostel was right in the heart of the city, the old Olympic grounds were very nice although they seem to be falling into disrepair as of late. Our second hostel there was in the mountains and a ways from the city. It still turned out alright, I was able to see an amazing sunset and an even more spectacular sunrise from the tallest point in the city.
From there we headed to Nice which was a very nice city. Not much to see sights wise, but it was nice to relax some on the rock beaches. Sigh…there was hardly any sand, very unlike California.
After Nice, we made out way down to Rome to pick up one of my good friends Aimee from the airport. Once she flew in we were going to spend about 10 days together all throughout Italy. We explored Rome pretty well, saw the Capuccin Church, The Vatican, and of course all of the old Roman ruins. I am leaving some stuff out, but we saw a lot and our feet took a beating.
After Rome we headed up to Florence for a couple nights and saw the spectacular church there. The view from the top was simply breathtaking. Saw the David, it was great.
Went to Milan and it was probably the worst city as far as seeing things goes. The tickets to see the last supper are sold out for several months in advance. Which was a bummer because it was really the only thing to see there besides their cathedral.
From there, we went to Venice and walked a lot and ate a lot as there isn’t much else to do. It was definitely my favorite city in Italy because of it’s atmosphere and the awesome time I had with Aimee. Followed closely by Rome and Florence of course.
I am heading up to Prague for about a week or so then heading across Switzerland to Holland for a quick flight to Heathrow in London before I leave on July 10.
I am not all the way up to date with my pictures but I did get up to Barcelona uploaded.
