Litchfield Adventures: Italy Edition

Thursday

Swimming in the Mediterranean, it was a lot warmer than Malta.

Need a bit more of a tan.....

Friday

Bryan and Raven in Florence

It was a long day.....

We found these locks all over Italy. Love Locks are a custom by which sweethearts affix padlocks to a fence or similar public fixture to symbolize their everlasting love.

Ponte Vecchio is the oldest and most famous bridge in Florence.

Our 17th Century Villa, complete with a tiny little chapel inside.

Saturday

Volterra

Volterra is set on a hill and has lovely view of the Tuscan county side.

Sunday

We went to church and met the Vitaglione family. In the post where we went to Brown Sea Island Elder Vitaglione was the one sitting in the pushchair. We went to his families house for dinner our last night in Italy. The Pisa branch have a lovely building. It was the first LDS church built in Italy.

We also went to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa


Monday

Cinque Terre is one of the most beautiful places in Italy a must see if you are anywhere near that area. Cinque Terre are 5 villages. We were able to walk from the 1st to the 2nd village but the 3rd and 4th paths were washed out so we had to take the train between them. We spent most of the day at the last village playing on the beach and kayaking.


Tuesday

More swimming and exploring all the shops in the near by towns only to find that they were closed. That night we went to dinner at the Vitaglione families house and had yummy yummy Tuscan food! I'm so sad that we don't have a picture of that. They were going to email Mardy a picture but they haven't yet....
