Arrivaderci, Italia.
Me writing these blog entries on planes is becoming a common thread. It’s really just about the only time I have to do so, since during the day I’m doing stuff and at night I’m busy till late, and absolutely wrecked.
So goodbye for now to Italy, our time here was great, and we’ll for sure be back, but Stage 2 of The Ferro’s in Europe must begin. This stage begins with us heading to Holland for a few weeks of adventures and exploration, not to mention an insanely massive family reunion in Weert, (my mothers family side this time. ) Family reunion with 150+ people should be interesting. Luckily, they should speak English. Mostly.
So our last two days in Italy were spent exploring some local towns like Palmanova, an town built in a 16th century star fort, Graddo, the North Italian version of the Gold Coast and most impressively, Venice itself, which was spectacular. Funny though, I always thought of Venice as a fairly small place, but it’s absolutely massive! We spent about ten hours walking around, and didn’t see half of it. Got some great photo’s though, I’ll upload one from the highest point in Venice, the tower of San Marco square. We also toured the famous Murano glass factories and toured the Grand Canal. Stunning stuff, see photos.
That should do for now. My apologies for this not being a very detailed account, but I don’t want to bore you guys with overt detail. Not every entry, anyway. I’ll write again in a few days about Holland, and maybe describe the family reunion. After that, we have the excitement of Amsterdam and the pure, unbridled awesomeness that will be Oktoberfest in Munich. That, however, is the future. For now, caio!
The Ferro’s.
