firenze

we leave to florence the next day... stay there for about 2 days. we took the italian eurostar there. the journey took about 1++ hours nearly 2. so its kinda cut the journey time to half if we take the bus. the air of anticipation to shop surround the ladies (mom and sister) florence is the 2nd fashion capitol other than milano. other than that, florence are famous for their leather goods. there are also this mall where they sell gucci and prada at a knocked down price but only with appointment and wioth tour. the tour cost 50 euro each. but we din go there as they thing will cost crazy price.



we checked into the hotel. nice place, been greeted by the lady, ms,stefana. i realise that italians r very stylish no matter how old they areee. sunglasses is a MUST. i mean everywhere u look there must b some ray-ban, and dolce and gabana belt. after putting our bags, we head to the leather market. at the junction of the market, i can smell those leather.all their local product r here. from leather jacket to leather key chain. leather jacket cost about 150 euro which kinda intersting IF i had the cash hehehehehe... we ate at this place called "pork" was impress how the waiter use pda to take our order. i mean the only place i c that happen here is at "sagar". we took the train to a city called PISA. yes thats where the leaning tower is located. the place was beautiful.. green grass, blue cloud... the whole 9yard

day 2 we decide to blow off the Chianti wine yard trip to go to Sienna.for the reasons

• we NEED a car to go to Chianti
• and the hotel ppl says Sienna is much more Beautiful

we'll Chianti is one of Italy's famous wine producer... but what the heck took the bus to Sienna.. a quiet town in the Touscany region. there are some wine yard too along the way.Sienna is like a valley. so as we arrive there this HUGE square where everyone are.some sun bathe, some just soaking the sun while reading their novels and some having their meal. oh yea... there lots of shopping to do b4 the HUGE square but they kinda jack up the price since its a tourist place. i went in the video store as i c a HUGE micheal buble cut out at the shop, so i guess he got a new album. apparently i bum into some "interesting" dvd instead of buble's album. oh yea... sienna is great for street photography coz got lots of lorong and stuff, and the scenery is wonderful

off to venezia............
