Florence, Italy - Day 5

Finally, the belated photo series of my last visit to Florence. The first photo is the famous Pisa Tower.






The next 2 photos were taken from top of Pisa Tower. It was amazing that the tower did not collapse for the degree of its inclination.










End of the day, we were back to the city of Florence by train. Will post more photos of Florence in my next blog.

Rome, Italy - Day 4

Hehee...sorry I have forgotten that I did spend my fourth day at Rome. So, here's the photos...

That is the Trinita dei Monti. Unfortunately, there was some repair works on-going, covering up the obelisk. Next we headed to one museum, which I have forgotten the name (will look up that later).


Our next destination was Castel Sant' Angelo. These are some random photos taken on the way to there...

Two churches are built so close to each other, separated by just one road.


Castel Sant' Angelo...


A bird was taking its rest while I was photographing the city view at the top of castel.


Night view of Vatican,

...and Castel Sant' Angelo

Rome, Italy - Day 3 (Part 2)

Day 3 started with the Colosseo...



There was a small exhibition about the Rome ancient gods, as part of the attraction in Colosseo.


Then it was this Foro Romano that we visited.








Sorry, don't remember where this was taken, but I just kind of like the impressive blue sky and cloud.

This is of course the famous Pantheon.






The tomb of Raphael inside Pantheon.

This is the end of my 3 days tour at Rome. My next post will bring you to Florence with its Pisa Leaning Tower...stay tuned.
