Europe Trip Part 2

yoohoo~ I'm back~ Today is my last full day in Nottingham...
tomorrow i will flying back to my beloved country-Malaysia~ 
sad to leave but happy to go...contradicting much? haha...
time flies like nobody's business...i didn't knoe 9 months could go by that fast! 
The next time i come back to England might be years later...

okok..back to the blog topic...
so after Rome, it's Florence time~ 
basically Italy is all about shopping...especially Florence and Milan..
too bad we are in a tour and there's not much shopping time allocated..to me it's ok la...but to my mom...haha
you know all the aunties loves shopping right? XDDD 
so anyway...
before heading to florence, we'd stopped by a small town called- Siena...
 look at the lane..so old and so much history...i m just speechless...hahaha 
 The campo in siena...

 pizza~~~ ate here because of the toilet XD do you know finding a toilet in europe is a pain in the ass....is either too expensive or it just doesn't exist 
 gelato....guilty pleasure everyday in italy..
after that~ on the way to florence....
stopped at a place to get a panoramic view of florence~
look at all the antique cars~ 



 tadaa~ 

 finally at florence~ 
happens to be an indian festival at that time...haha..first time seeing ang mohs in sari~ 
 another basilica~ tell you, italy is all about cathedral and churches...

a lot of walking and listening..i old already la...a lot of things listen already then cannot remember...

went to the museum with the real David~ by Michelangelo...too bad no photography is allowed in the museum...>< but I have..
Pink David! hahahahahaha.. this is the worst replica of David I've ever seen...and it's just outside the museum...the real David statue is damn lengzai one lor..this one ...== 

A fortress in the campo of Florence~ 
 There're so many statues on the square...quite magnificent 
 Another replica of David... this is much more like the real one..basically to a person like me ( know nothing about art) it looks the same..haha..but of course the real one has more vibe in it...
 After that it was just walking around and some sightseeing...
The next day we hop on the bus and off we go to see the leaning tower of Pisa~~ 
lalalala~ 
 it's leaning! apparently with the foundation now it will stay there for another 200 years...
 After Pisa~ back to central of Florence again~ 
Florence is popular for their hand made leather and Gold...so there we are~ a leather workshop~ 
 And that is when my mom started her shopping...
apparently, most of the shopping done are for her friends....><
for dinner, we had a typical Tuscan dinner on top of the hill~ 
the scenery and ambiance is really nice but the food is just soso....too much pasta and risotto for my liking...><
 view on top of the hill~ 

So this is Florence~
Next stop will be Venice~ too be continued~
