On to Venice

September 2015: What’s not to love?

Venice has the masks . . .

 St. Mark's Square . . .

. . . and  Café Florin visited by Charles Dickens, Casanova, and Lord Byron.

Oh, my dears… you must go!

Florence

Early September 2015: My favorite city in Italy.

It has the history . . .

the Duomo…  

. . .  the David

. . . and the Ponte Vecchio 

Cinque Terre

September 2015:

The plan was to take the train to the farthest town from us, Riomaggiore, and return by boat so we could see all of them from the water. It was too windy that day and the boats had closed because of rough sea.

Instead, we visited three of the five by train. Next time we’ll have to stop by Manarola and Corniglia.

Can you Imagine?

Early August 2015:

After leaving London, Daughter and I 

flew to Rome where we started our tour.

Did you ever wonder what those people during the Regency time see when they went on their Grand Tour?
