Hi all,
I'm now in Florence in Tuscany and it is beautiful! Today some girls and I all got up late and took the bus to San Germano a medieval town perched on top of a hill. It has all these towers that look like sky scrapers so the place from afar looks a bit like Manhattan.
It was a nice little town to walk around and we ate great gelati. But the best bit was when we went on a walk through the country side. Tuscany is just so beautiful! And as it is Autumn all the leaves are changing colour and it is just lovely. Such a great day just soaking in beauty.
I went to the Ufizzi Gallery the other day which is the top museum for Renaissance art. There are so many great works of art there, my favourite being 'Spring' by Botticelli ,it is so beautiful and the 'Birth of Venus' was inspiring too. I spent the whole morning there then just wandered around, painting the Ponte Vecchio, a lovely old bridge that crosses the main river. We went out to San Givno today because it is Monday and the museums are not open. Tomorrow I am going to get up early and join the line to see Michelangelo's 'David'.
Last week I was in Sorrento which was really beautiful. From there I went to Pompeii and Herculaneum which was just fantastic. I was just awe struck at how intact it was. It was amazing to just walk around a ancient Roman town. Just so so amazing.
I'm now off to hang out in the Cinque Terra for a few days on Thursday. Then off to Holland and England.
Love you lots
Acushla
