Roma & Vatican

After 9 days we reunited with our parents in Rome. It was feiday afternoon and after some time of catching up we headed for a night city. My father fell asleep from the heat he took over the day so it was just the 3 of us – my...

Florence

We booked a room in a medieval city of Florence 20min from the city centre and joined a group of the Free walking tour starting at 5pm. The guide walked us through the history made by the Medici family. I absolutely love them, it started with a TV series...

Tuscany coast
