Italy (Venice, Florence, Rome)

Feel under dressed at airport I felt I need to make more of an effort with fashion to go around Rome and Italy. 

Venice as a museum
Down a side street barely shoulders width apart 
Grand canal

Saw an ambulance boat, postman boat too as well as these!

I wanted to swim in grand canal

Florence has so many frescoes sculptures etc 
An incredible sculpture. It's a shame we rushed the rest of the museum but atleast we got to see the anazing view from the Belvedere of the Duomo. I discovered later that Sam's way of doing museums: picture with most famous thing for Instagram and straight out. 

Michelangelo got his inspiration from going down the mines to find tin miners with sculpted bodies. So many naked men. He certainly had a love for the male form.

The famous bridge in Florence, the nazis blew up all the others but left this one

Famous view of the Duomo...

Amazing sunset from Belvedere

Rome metro was a bit shitty but also had a cool under developed vibe with Graffiti and a little  dark and uncomfortable. Sam's expression says it all.

The train to get us one stop to next station was late too by 15 mins. U get a feeling things don't work quite so well there. Not sure why. Who's fault is it? 

See so much absolute homelessness people in tents, cardboard boxes. Must be many African migrants coming there. Tourism seems their main thing. There must also be a business Centre too no? The area we stayed was cool I thought. I loved the old apartment the ceiling on the roof of rooms all stones red brick. Tiled stone floors. Many cafes and restaurants close to station. We walked far through Rome everyday to colloseum, Vatican, forum, pantheon.
