Italy
Yesterday we travelled to Italy via plane to Milan. Here we visited the Duomo which was a beautiful Cathedral full of amazing stained glass windows. We had our first taste of pizza and gelati - yum!. We then met our new tour guide and made our way to Pisa. We arrived there at 6.30pm so as you can imagine it was a vey late night as we still had to make our way to Florence. What a beautiful trip. The scenery was stunning and of course Pisa is just amazing.
Today we explored Florence and enjoyed the highlights. We celebrated mass this morning in the Santa Croce. A beautiful Cathedral which houses the tombs of many famous people including Michelangelo. We walked through many historic parts and of course visited the statue of David. We then shopped till we dropped - we are all exhausted....
