Venice, Milan and Genova
I love Venice! It is probably one of my favourite cities! We did a lot of walking and I bought things. Like A LOT of things! We went over to a glass making island called Murano and looked at shops. I bought a small necklace. (Not for me, but for my mom. Shhhh..). The internet here in Italy is very expensive so I haven’t beem able to post a lot of things. Tommorow is April 12th and we will arrive in Nice, France.
Before we arrived in Venice, we were in Milan. Yes, Fashion Capitol! No, I didn’t buy anything… we visited a massive Catholic Church. This Church was called Duomo. Which is kinda funny because while we were in Bangkok, we bought a toaster for making toast in the morning. Our toaster Company was called Duomo! Now we are wondering why somebody named a toaster after a large, Italian, Catholic Church!!!
It was very cold in Milan while we were out walking and Mom only brought a long sleeve. So she bought a fashionable jacket. Yes, I used ”fashionable” while talking about my mom because we were in Milan were you can’t get something that isn’t ”fashionable”…
Now we are in a city called Genova. It has wonderful buildings that are old and colourful. It is raining today but it is still nice. We are by the Mediterranean Sea.
Our hotels here in Italy have been excellent! First, The Hotel Sara, in Milan, then Brunno’s, in Venice. It isn’t actually called Brunno’s but the owner of the aprtment we rented was named Brunno. Then there is L’Albergo Argentina in Genova. They have all been excellent! L’Albergo Argentina has the cleanest washroom! Hotel Sara was very ”homey”. Brunno’s was a nicely furnished apartment with a stereo, t.v, 2 double beds, 2 floors and a very nice and clean bathroom.
Out of all those three cities, Venice was definitly my favourite! The food in Italy is deliciouse. Venice had a beautiful setting and it didn’t even smell! At ALL! It was probably just the time of year.
That’s all for now!
