Benvenuti a Firenze !

Weekend getaway ! Destination: Florence, Italy !

First night in Florence, in front of the Dome (Doumo) You can get the excitment out of my facial expression !


Entrance to casa Buonarroti. (House of Michelangelo (1475-1564))

Ponte Vecchio.

David by Michelangelo at the Uffizi Museum. So IMPRESSIVE !! Seeing the staty of David was definitely one of the many highlights of the trip ! Note: All the statues in the Uffizi Galleria looks exactly like the younger version of my dad , crazy resemblance !! Haha, I couldn't stop laughing.
Another Highlight was seeing the Birth of Venus by the great Antonio Botticelli (of course any kind of photographing strictly prohibited, that goes for the David as well but I couldn't help myself). Also at the Uffizi. So beautiful.

At the Bardini Casa. With the stunning view of Florence and the Dome.

Firenze !

Enjoying "the last supper" in Italy, Penne with Pesto and of course red Wine. Delicious. Merci as my dad would say ! hahha.

Me going to Italy was to meet my old host family who has transfered here for a two month period of time. It was so great to meet the kids again, they were so much older, personalities the exact same !
It was a very intense weekend with a whole bunch of Museums and sightseeing. I think Iprobably walked enough for the rest of the year I might say. I'm in love with Italy and to describe Florence in one world would simply be: Impressive !

Ciao !
