Snapshots of Italy
















I spent nine months studying in Italy a couple of years ago, and have been thinking about it so much lately, mainly because friends are embarking on their erasmus placements at the moment. I have a renewed interest in the country that I'd had quite enough of by the time I'd left. It's fast becoming my first port of call for future travels. Some picture memories of a few little trips...

Florence markets at Christmas time.
Venice at Carnival time; directions to Piazza San Marco; Steph, Emma and Jess outside the Basilica; Jess and I with our amazing facepaints.
Cinque Terre; the evening view from Portovenere; Vernazza from the hillside path towards Monterosso; enjoying a game of cards, some olives and a well deserved glass of Sangria after our trek.
Venice take two; the island of Burano with streets upon streets of brightly coloured houses.
Florence take two; Helen outside the Duomo when she came to visit from France; a view of the city.
Stained glass window in Siena; a view of the Campo; incredible food for dinner.

Good times.
