Ciao from Italy

(Originally emailed on 22 Aug 2006)

Hello friends,

I am in Venice now, and will be leaving for Vienna tomorrow. The trip is awesome so far, around 50 people on the tour from New Zealand, Australia, US, Canada, Brazil, Japan etc. We have been to Paris, French Riviera, Barcelona, Nice/Cannes, Monaco, Florance, Rome, seen a lot a great architectures, museums, people, scenary....walking a lot everyday because time is just too short to want to see everything within a short period of time. I have tried to upload the photos but seems the number is way too big for the bandwidth, might try to do it later on when I finish the tour and go to Denmark in September.

The most impressive things for me to date is the Louvre in Paris, the Ventican Museum (Sistine Chapel), St Peter's Church in Rome. Initialy I did't expect the St. Peter's church will be opened due to the Sunday service, but when I did get into and realise the church is open, I almost cry....partially it's because I won't have the pity in Rome, partially it's also because it's so huge and so impressive that you almost hold your breath when looking around.

Ok, my time is up now. Will share with you more when I got time. Take care,
