Next we were off to Venezia. \u00a0This was so exciting. \u00a0Venice is a place I’ve wanted to visit since I was a little girl! \u00a0Now I had been warned by others that I may be disappointed by Venice – be aware it smells and it’s dirty. \u00a0I have to say it lived up to my childhood dreams and much more. \u00a0I loved it!<\/p>\n

We saw the Bridge of Sighs – so named as it linked the jail to the courts and quite often prisoners would have the last view of their family from the windows of that bridge on their way to prison after being sentenced.<\/p>\n

Doge’s Palace was simply beautiful. \u00a0We saw a glass blowing demonstration at the Murano glass factory – amazing to watch. \u00a0Then we had free time to wander Venice.\u00a0 Oh I loved it. \u00a0We wandered through shops, walked along streets and canals and took oh so many photos.<\/p>\n

Next up was a gondola ride through the canals. \u00a0It was wonderful to just sit and listen to the gondoliers singing as we waved to people walking and marvelled at buildings and bridges we would not have seen on foot. \u00a0What an experience – one I will remember forever.<\/p>\n

How I wish we could have stayed there for days and I hope to be back again one day.\u00a0 It is a beautiful place.\u00a0 I loved wandering and exploring.\u00a0 Oh and shopping! \u00a0There is no way to describe Venice – if you get a chance you HAVE to go.<\/p>\n

\"hot<\/a>
Hot air balloons in Venezia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As we left Venezia we saw hot air balloons taking off over fields.\u00a0 It was a magnificent sight.<\/p>\n

Soon we arrived in Rome, and what a welcome! \u00a0The first two things I noticed were a soccer game and a Lamborghini dealer! \u00a0We went straight into the city for a walking tour introduction to Rome. \u00a0Our first stop was the Pantheon.\u00a0 The architecture and the detail in the buildings in Italy are just amazing and this is no exception.<\/p>\n

\"lamborghini<\/a>

From there we visited the Piazza Navona. \u00a0The piazza is surrounded by gorgeous buildings and is full of the hustle and bustle I have always pictured in Italy.\u00a0 Sidewalk cafes, locals drinking coffee and chatting, and the artists\u2026 artists everywhere selling their work!<\/p>\n

We headed down one of the little alleyways and decided “When in Rome…..” So we enjoyed pasta, pizza and gelato for dinner!<\/p>\n

Sigi is a great Travel Director and a fountain of information.\u00a0 Her love for the places we visit is infectious. Our Local Guide<\/a> in Rome, Helena, met us outside St Peters Basilica. \u00a0No words can describe this place. \u00a0The marble, the sheer size, and the amazing mosaics.\u00a0 Wow.<\/p>\n

The most amazing thing, however, was the fact that we were there on a Sunday morning as mass started.\u00a0 There was one area roped off for church goers but we could hear the service start.\u00a0 Also as you walked around there were small services going on in some of the little alcoves. \u00a0We couldn’t stay for the whole service but it was such an awesome experience. \u00a0Tasha loved the Spanish guards – they have guarded the pope for over 500 years and the poor guys still have to turn up to work in the traditional uniforms!<\/p>\n

From there we headed to the Colosseum. \u00a0Yet another awesome sight. \u00a0Could you imagine a stadium that seats 200,000 people?\u00a0 It really is mind blowing.\u00a0 Helena was brilliant and explained the logistics of how the Colosseum worked in great detail.<\/p>\n

\"colosseum\"<\/a>

Ostia Antica is a town on the coast about 30 minutes from Rome.\u00a0 They liken it to Pompeii because it is an entire Roman town that’s been preserved.\u00a0 You see the theatre, the forum, the justice area, the homes, the shops. Brilliant.<\/p>\n

Dinner that night was amazing.\u00a0 The food was beautiful – we had 5 courses.\u00a0 Bruschetta, spaghetti, ravioli, salmon and gelato.\u00a0 The waiters were so much fun.\u00a0 They serenaded the ladies, gave out hugs and kisses and even singled some ladies out for special treatment!<\/p>\n

I loved the look on Tasha’s face (and yes she did blush… a lot) when the Italian waiter gave her a kiss on each cheek and presented her with a red rose.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

But the night was not over there.\u00a0 For those of us who still felt like walking we made the trip to the Trevi Fountain.\u00a0 It was so busy, but it was awesome. \u00a0From there we went to the Spanish Steps.\u00a0 People everywhere!<\/p>\n

All in all another brilliant day.\u00a0 A long and exhausting day but I wouldn’t want to miss a thing!<\/p>\n
