Back from Italy

So yesterday we got back from Italy. Today at work was pretty miserable, let me tell you! We could have done with a few more days (or without it chucking it down on Sunday) to explore some other places such as the Cinque Terre or the Tuscan hills but otherwise it was a good trip. Sitting outside, drinking beer and eating amazing pizza for only 6 euros has to be a good way to spend a Tuesday night in October! Here's a selection of pics:

The Italian hero Garibaldi. He must have been a great man to have a biscuit named after him.


Obligatory tower shot. Unsure if pigeon flew into tower in the immediate aftermath of this photo.


Baptistery 


Lots of graffiti in Pisa... even on the trains!


It absolutely teamed down on this day. The first time we left the house we had to turn round and go back cos we were drookit! We got the train to Lucca later on when it died down a bit though. A lovely little place with some stunning architecture.





View from the window of our B and B, which had one B too many in the name (No one showed any interest in making us breakfast the whole time we were there.)


The Duomo in Florence. This is one big bastard of a church. It was hard to photograph it, it was so big. There were millions of tourists around here.


Me and Elise has some fun photos taken in here :)


Vecchio Bridge:


Galileo's telescopes. There are tons of museums in Florence. We went to the Da Vinci Museum and the Galileo Museum.


Vecchio from the other side.


The Mediterranean. We went in, it was bloody cold!
