Vacation in Italy
I finally put some pics of our vacation in Italy on my Dutch blog. First, we went to Bocca do Magra. It was great to have sun, sea and beach:) We had a room in a cute hotel with view on the harbour and close to the beach. There was also a walking trail to Monte Marcello, a small town. We walked this trail, and ended up at a very small and beautiful beach where yo9u could only come on foot or by boat. The hotel also had bikes for the guests which we used for a nice bike ride along the coast, with some beautiful views, and again we went to a nice beach for a break and a swim. In the evenings we had some very lovely seafood dinners with great wine! I even enjoyed a cappuccino!!
After two beautiful days the weather changed on the morning we left for Florence. We took a detour though Pisa and Lucca! Despite of the rain we did see a lot:) Lucca is beautiful, and yes, the tower in Pisa is leaning a lot!! Florence is a beautiful city, and I'd love to return there. Even with the rain we really enjoyed it :) Also there we had lovely food and wine :) We also shopped a bit, can't help it :p. On the last day we went to an indoor market where we bought some cheese, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
From Florence we went via Marinello (Ferrari) to Lugano. In Marinello we went to the Ferrari musem. It was a bit disappointment. There were quite a bit of beautiful cars, and they showed the history of Ferrari, bit we expected a bit more. You weren't allowed to touch anything :( On the way out we found the test circuit. They were driving a nice F1 type of car with passenger seats. WOW, that was impressive, that acceleration!!! I took a little film!!
Lugano is a beautiful city, but unfortunately, also there rain :( It is very obvious that a lot of rich people visit this place... The centre of the city is pedestrian area with very nice patios, some of them were heated :) I've also seen some nice houses :)
The drive from Lugano to Zug was nice and touristic :) We went over the Gotthard pass instead of though the tunnel. I had been over the pass before, but couldn't remember much. It is an impressive road, and there was quite a bit of snow up there!
despite of the rain, we really enjoyed the vacation:) It could have been a bit longer (of course)
