I've written about my time in India, i know its late but now its time to write about la dolce vita in Italy. I decided in July to go to Florence, Tuscany for a month to learn Italian for fun. Italy such a great country full of churchs, wine, sea and sun... what could be better. Florence, the city of divine fashion, home to one of the best fashion schools in the world Polimoda. Arriving on a sunday afternoon to Florence i had no idea what i got myself into, all i know it was rediculously hot. I loved my time there, especially the pizza, pasta and most of all scenery. i went to some amazing places.
Above.. the Ponte Vecchio at night.
my favourite place in florence was piazza Michelangelo. From there one can see the whole of the city of florence with the most spectacular view, in my opinion its best to go when its sunset.
in tuscany, i visited Siena, Lucca and San Gimignano (which can be seen in the photos above) which had the beautiful tuscany touch. i do recommend having a nice glass of wine as it is pretty cheap there.
I also visited Portofino, which is a gorgeous market town on the sea in the Italian state of Linguria, whilst there i visited the Cinque Terre, that was also breath taking.
Portofino from the Marina.
Portofino, the best view is from Castle brown.
