Venice - Italy, Venice 07/09/1998
is always full of tourists (over 25,000 newspapers, which become 103,000 per day during the carnival ), but although Incredibly their cobbled streets and channels seem silent, as if it were an abandoned city frozen in time.
camped at Camping Rialto (Via Orlanda 16). It's far away, combine train and bus (2 dollars a ticket to the center). The center of the city has very limited vehicle access. The
walks
: Grand Canal (with 4 km long , 30 to 70 m wide and 5 m maximum depth), the Palazzo Ducale (the X century ), the Piazza San Marco ( Napoleon considered it the most beautiful square in Europe), the Campanile (worth the climb), the Bridge of Sighs (which has little romantic, it was the last opportunity that had the sentence of death to see the outside, and linking the courthouse and jail).
The city is so famous that there are many comments and experiences, but at least I personally was as romantic as one can imagine it. No smell of putrid water as some have said, perhaps by cleaning program channels (from 1998, complete with docks emptied and cleaned the background.)
Except for historical buildings, houses are generally quite damaged, giving it a touch old flame to take many photographs. One never tires of gondolas and white sticks with red stripe spiral.
Florence - Italy, 09.09.1998
This it was a good idea to set up the tent in the Camping Michelangelo (Viale Michelangelo 80), because although the ground is very hard (drive a stake through the stone seems impossible), is nearby and a bus that does a circular route leaves us heart (4 trips ticket $ 3.40.) It is also on a high, with a beautiful view of Florence .
A very original bridge is the Ponte Vecchio crossing the Arno River , and has the particularity to be full of shops like a city street. Other walks
: The Tower di Palazzo Vecchio The Uffizi Gallery (which houses the painting of fortune Médicis), the Fontana Neptune (in the Piazza della Signoria ), the Campanile di Giotto ( church in the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore XIV century).
Imperdible is The David of Miguel Angel , that after so many years of seeing the replica is in Montevideo, you discover what your true magic. The details carved in white marble of 409 cm. height the incredible realism.
As we walked through the city find the Dante Alighieri graves , Miguel Angel , Galileo Galilei and Machiavelli in Santa Croce church .
