I started a few days before you get lonely planet's Chinese version of Italy.

Rough turning a bit, feeling Italy is a very rich tourism resources, to go and where to go. Due to time constraints, I couldn't put the book from start to finish of a close look, the itinerary is reasonable and I'm not sure, the hotel is just a booked journey in the first half. Only on the road and then carefully on lp or get information from other sources to determine a choice. I think this is going to Italy, to other parts of the free line or so, starting before it is not possible to all parts of the plan, on the road to let go, she, so that tourism can full of hope, full of unexpected surprises. The drawer, then heard Italy earthquake happened, their homes are sometimes sudden, I was very hesitant. But such a cheap ticket cancellation costs are very high, so I can't make a decision. Finally, even if several concerns in mind, no way, can only hit the road. I want to live in a turbulent world, always has a variety of reasons to make you feel could not take place, but only one reason to be let you end up Backpack on the road, that is: to go. This so-called with your family.

Develop a free line of plan the basic principle is as many places as possible, but not going to repeat.

But in Italy it is somewhat difficult, because Italy is a steep vertical strips, not going to repeat basic impossible. In addition to complete such a compact travel to get up early to bed early. 1-day tour of the place are basically to do the first bus, arrived in the morning, then one wheel for several hours, went away to another city, went wild. To return to the hotel at night exhausted, wash bed, the second day to repeat yesterday's one wheel. Even though the city has a very small such as Rome, Venice, Verona, but are not wild day, by bus or by taxi. According to the above guidelines, I'm going to take time provisionally siena on the san gimignano, pisa take on when lucca, on my way to pompeii on temporary take ravello. Later proved that these take place on are very worthwhile, even better than I planned destination even more wonderful. Although a bit tired, but very worth it. See the sights, but also reduced fertilizer.

Many tourist books on I went to the spot have details, you'll find under the names of its historical and cultural background, I will not cut and paste.

I just logged my personal feelings.

Florence, florence

There are two famous museums (the uffizi, academic), the collections are: spring, the birth of Venus, David, etc.

I think to Florence, the Museum will go, or to Florence is run with the two museums. Florence art school is a representative of the Renaissance, it works from the art itself or art history of the stresses are the most top-of-the-line, many works of art are priceless, so even if the line up two hours before they enter the appreciation, but also very worthwhile. And the Louvre is the Museum's collection a much smaller number, the theme looks more single.Since I went black Hafez Museum in many places in the decoration, the exhibit is not very wide, there are exhibits also take out the tour, so it is not visible. Al Hafez Museum more than two hours to read. But worthy of Italy's pride is the collection here is their own, Florence top works of painting, Renaissance giants. The Louvre's collections, many are external (robbed/purchased/stolen/cheat to), the so-called three piece is France's own creation. So looking at Ukrainian Hafez a Museum, I felt very at ease, without looking at the Louvre that kind of feeling breathless. Another point is Italy's many famous paintings are religious themes, and when the best history of the Catholic Church or the Bible has a certain understanding so you can know the background of the painting, just know there's character who is who. Freedom like me is no one to explain, in the English-speaking guide Italy's pace is not so easy. Can be done only with their limited knowledge, in front of the works themselves know how to stay a while and enjoy carefully, and then come back and read books to learn about its theme background and the story of the concerned with creation, this impression to profound, then brag also has material. Because all religious subjects and later in Italy other churches are also found a lot of duplicate theme of painting. For example, "only" the theme of Angels is a lot of artists in different Church/Museum works, just personal reputation, style and art work are not the same. If the last supper and others painted, but the 12 disciples are obedient decorum, no da Vinci painting in vivid, lifelike. If coupled with Dan Brown, those who do not know is true or false story, other pictures is even more not in an order of magnitude.

Personal feel and see the famous museums, the purpose is to see the original one.

I'm layman, but regardless of which see famous paintings, there is always a kind of shock. See Michelangelo's David is shocked and then in the base camp to see Mount Everest to my shock some similar: Wow, this is the legendary ...! Came across this works, I always want to stay for a moment more, have a chance to sit down and go to slowly realize that extend the shocking moments. David spent before I have half an hour of foot, risked being scolded by dangerous, administrator took several photos. Carefully read the ever seen in the book, also look at the front of the back of a previously never see. I can understand is this sculpture is really perfect. At least from the architecturally than Venus and the goddess of victory are (Kin). The David called the most works of sculpture, who would disagree?

However shocked, I thought I read a report (New York Times, September 2, 2008).

The story is simple: Florence city sent Ningbo Municipal Government a copy of the statue of David, Ningbo Government suggests reciprocity of ECHO two stone carving. Ningbo Government really loves her get the gift, to the public. And Florence, officials in the old, for aesthetic reasons, do not know the two stone carving in? I think our officials certainly came to Florence, seen in all of the sculpture. They should also be seen David. David next to chair, sat down and sit for 15 minutes and then decide what to send gifts to people is better. You can like Japan, out some money financing at the famous paintings of repair, let me this bull thin people in Florence streets go also feel a little face. (Later went to Vienna, I would like to, in the Golden Hall or not sing jasmine, folk tune how good and happy song ratio).

Florence, another is worth mentioning that I encounter of an agricultural fair, which has a very authentic Tuscany region native, bacon, sausages, cheese, tomato, olive oil, dazzling, and I was tempted.

Then I take lunch opportunity went once bought a loaf of bread, and a variety of delicious clip in which had a sandwich, great stuff. The world of meal, lunch and dinner are eligible for Italy is known as the world's three major food. Whereas the representatives of Italy restaurant in Florence surrounding Tuscany. So to this day be sure to try some salami, red wine, cheese, ice cream, pizza, pasta and olive oil.

Siena siena

Siena is Florence Tuscany region around, you can do from Florence tour departure.

Siena is a saved very good old town, where the main activity is the experience of the Tuscan style. Because I arrived early, no man in the street, in a quiet street I idly each other's front door. From the entrance to see years left marks, although experienced vicissitudes, still thick and strong, not a bad marks. On the other hand from the gate of the design work, but also to reveal a medieval Siena's life quality is very rich. Walk through the streets of the alley is here-tourism will do one thing, of course, you want to sit in the Centre of the square on the edge of a quiet small cafe a cup kabuqinuo, imagine 7, for the month of August when the water chestnut run race Assembly, loess random splashes, voices, spiced wine. In Siena's nightlife is down can only hold one ladder on the front of the Museum, bath warm warm sunshine, listen to the breeze from the church bells, near picturesque red roof terrace of the wulao hills of vineyards, you soon will revel in Tuscany Ristorante. Band mp3? on a Tuscany born andrea bocelli in sogno, listening to music and watch the beautiful scenery, you will know what God gave Tuscany, Tuscany is what love this fertile, how to get to sprinkle on life's passion. I wish the Angel andrea bocelli's voice before you moved to tears, you also can see the spring in Tuscany. Although the color also is not very rich, Brown land has not been the rows of vines, trees or completely override just from the sleep wake up in the winter, since only the color showsHis own life. But the yellow side of the road is open most of the time container, as if to tell people it is the symbol of spring. And add to the natural colours are red and yellow wall, the warm colors without publicity, gorgeous but not vulgar, seem a bit old but the longer mixiang.

Saint san gimignano from Jimmy the NOK

This is me in Siena in that afternoon the provisional arrangements of a small town, because it is Easter, many connected Siena and Saint Jimmy that promise big Batu open.

I had a tedious at 3 pm or so to the Saint Jimmy that promise, but she takes a huge surprise to meet me. Perhaps because of the holiday, small town jam-packed, I see in Italy the most crowded town. It seems to be little awarded five-star lp, cannot be overemphasized. The small town is a medieval New York, has several skyscraper (by today's buildings are concerned that there should be eight stories high). The small town is located in the hills above, far can see the city's skyscrapers. The city has many shops selling local arts and crafts, there is taste of red wine. The most famous is awarded the 2006-2007 World's best ice cream shops. Place although not large, but the various flavors of ice cream filled two freezer, colourful. Although there are six shop assistant in preparing, still queuing up outside a 20 long team, wants to eat the most delicious ice cream, you have to sweat out point. I have a passion for ice cream, but here the choice down to my old. Finally, I chose two ball minimum copy, while ensuring the runs under the premise of not eating several flavors. Which gave me the impression of a pomegranate flavored ice cream, my first time to eat. Ice cream is good, but the price is not more expensive than our domestic Haagen-Dazs still cheap. I think the ice cream shop is the town's highlights. United Kingdom Prime Minister Blair had prior to the tour, who doesn't like to eat?

Here wine is the exception, and the famous chianti produced in the wine, but only a few euros a bottle, no bottle label to 1888.

Packaging is also very simple, and does not use wooden box, placed in front of the keg is so random. Although not luxurious, but chianti produced in the wine's quality and who can deny this? dinner I would also like a bottle of red wine, drink some drunk hazy. Back to Florence, the way I had the opportunity of a woman from Paris to peers, I asked her Italy wine and wine of France, she was very modest told me that France wine brewing technologies, many of which are passed from Italy, they also look for Italy. As for where the wine produced is now even better, it is the love of Chinese cabbage turnip, red wine, your favorite wine is the best. But France red wine in the world's more famous it is an indisputable fact.

Pisa pisa

Pizza can be considered the surrounding Florence, take the train to a lot of hours, or you can do a tour.

Due to the Tower in Pisa is famous for the world, but the city lying there is no other nothing to see. You just have to spend two hours a day, take a look at the rot and immortality of the capitalist world wishes to fall and didn't fall of the tower. The tower can be called the world one of the most famous buildings. She rocked, attracted a large number of tourists from afar, have assumed a Fu mansion to tilt position, there's a wall collapsed and they push stature of photographic pictures. No matter how the Tower has a bias for hundreds of years, but still haven't fallen, really evil. You can buy tickets to stomp on the Tower, but a few feet because of too long, I didn't go, at noon on a ride to the Lucca.

Lucca lucca

Puccini's hometown.

I am a don't really understand the Opera but like Opera, I don't like that kind of massive long narrative singing, I only like ARIA, like to listen to the true feelings, CMA, Syria and especially likes girls of aria. As most of Opera is sung in Italian or German, I basically do not understand the lyrics, but never mind, I put ARIA as a segment with music to listen to, a most wonderful music. Because she originates from the human voice, a kind of natural instruments. In this musical instruments out of tune in to hear the sad, happy, look forward to hear out sadly missed. Puccini was the creation of the masters of this beautiful voice. He works with Madame Butterfly, Tosca, Turandot, La Boheme, etc, are all Opera history. I can't remember which Italy instrumental music masters with Bach Beethoven in music history in the same breath, I think of instrumental music are Germany, Italy men and non-Opera. So I want to come home to a worship of Puccini. Who misses his honor to express my respect.

Luka town have a Puccini had performed Cafe, where you can eat a delicious authentic Italy lunch, drink a cup of espresso, and though a master correspondence over the back.

But this moment he is sitting in Puccini's square, contempt of watching world. Luka also has a very wide and very beautiful city wall, I rented a bike and ride the above more than two hours, and experience a relaxing afternoon.

Rome rome

This is a city was Yu described as one of the greatest cities.

I didn't feel so. I think Paris is more than Rome. Because Paris planning well, around the Arc de Triomphe and the Avenue is also impressive, Paris building more magnificent than the Seine River Tiber River in Rome and wider and more beautiful. I have always thought that the River is a city in the blood. A beautiful city with a beautiful River, such as London, New York, such as Rome, such as Berlin, such as Paris. (According to my theory that Beijing is not pretty).

Roman Spain stage and wishing to go, but be sure to go early.

I am the morning came, not much people, good photography. At noon and evening I have ever again, wishing there was a noisy acoustic voice. A group of a group of students get there faster, even if packed took photos can't find which one is for you. Spain stage famous was not that scene, I think it wasThe film Roman holiday. Louisa was always a step full of people, like the opening mass rally.

As for the Roman Gladiators and forum, I think that in General, do not have imagined.

But since this is not a tour, see pity or inside it. It is in line to buy tickets arena field when I had a quarrel with others. Had to buy a ticket, to row 20 minute team, with the result of a tourist guide permit uploading to a students who buy discount tickets, we happened to crash. This sort of thing in a sorry but also in other places. She actually looked like I said, I'll talk space! she contends. Borrow this I'd like to say something about the Romans, Rome was a great city, and now many people here is to eat a meal, my fathers hadn't who see their ancestors left behind things, they do it. Can just anyone not think so. I ask directions in Rome, including pedestrians, police, drivers. Several directions, their answer is in the direction of error, or even the opposite, I ran a lot are concerned, I think they mean it. So I think the Romans not authentic. What, if you don't like the way the sign do point? In the street and take the map not find North of people not only me.

Rome's Pizza has been in the contend for pizza and Naples who's more delicious.

Roman pizza Peel thin and crispy pizza peel of the Naples slightly thick and soft. I have eaten, are delicious, tied for most of the world. In Rome the streets I go past a small pizza u, for several years the most delicious pizza u honour, their door hanging these medals, it's easy to find. Pisa is not expensive, a piece of pizza topping No 4 euro. If you are experiencing, may wish to sit down and, to a piece of pizza, half bottle of wine, enjoy a delicious authentic Italy gourmet.

Vatican-vatican

I spent 3 days in Rome, most of the time was spent at the Vatican, because here is the capital of the Catholic Church, every day is the crowds of people flock.

I went to the European week is Easter, many schools closed, come to worship is an endless stream of people. I specially arranged to visit Wednesday. Because every Wednesday morning at half past 10, the Pope will come to meet with the followers of the pilgrimage is a wonderful opportunity. I really had the privilege to see the Pope, in addition to two meters. The Pope is doing the helicopter, then transfer to his convertible Benz, shield by bodyguards around a field in a week. My seat was just on the edge of the aisle, so fortunately so close to see the Pope's honor. Mass, the Pope read aloud in the six languages of a prayer Word, mainly about Jesus sacrificed himself for our sin, we as Christians do not live up to his expectations of the elderly, a good man. The prayers are in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Poland, and lectures by speakers of the six languages of teaching staff to introduce today the scene of the pilgrims. Introduction to one of the groups, there will be issued a cheering, to pay tribute to the Pope, Pope was waved to them. Finally stands up, led by the Pope in Latin a prayer song. The activities in the Vatican's Piazza lasts two hours. The day of the Sun is shining, the Sun, you're gonna have to endure it, listening to fully understand the language that you don't necessarily trust the guru sermons. But life can have several such opportunities or sit and listen to it. In fact, our life will have several opportunities to see somebody, you don't necessarily like him, but I think we should represent what we respect, not because of him, but he located the significance. For example, this time I fly Italy, former President Musharraf of Pakistan and I am on the same plane, I feel great honor. The reasons for this.

The Vatican's main building is St. Peter's Cathedral, you can climb to the top of the dome, look at the Vatican, also look at Rome.

In Sistine separate collection is renowned the world over, will certainly to be shocked. The most famous no rivals with Genesis, the final judgment, the Athens Academy.

Suliantuo sorrento, positano, amalfi, ravello

I think many people have heard of "return to suliantuo" this song.

There you will know why this place again. I only stayed overnight, and I decided this life must return suliantuo. Suliantuo is a section of coastline, which stretches until solarno, 50 km, is Europe's most magnificent coastlines. Eastern Mediterranean here was suddenly shrug of xuanyajuebi blocking, Italy on top of the cliff was set up in colorful House, runs his own life, enjoying life. I've seen many like Sanya, Phuket so gentle sand and azure blue sea, sea water at the beach, the Beach also obeyed by sea water once a touch. It's a gentle beauty. But here, the Eastern Mediterranean sea rough, but the shore rocks like disobedient, and tall stands, just like in the sea, saying, you don't pour me shaken. At once a heated sea-water and rock, knocked out in the collision of the spray that short but glorious life, also played by the traditional beauty of movement, while Italy people living in this movement. Here the houses and stone road, unusually, to think from different angles to appreciate beauty, you have to climb up, fall by as much as 500 metres. Meandering paths lead you from time to time through the others, sometimes cited to a white wall limestone shingle Church. Front of you and will flash an upwind stands of pine, are also sometimes a beautiful flowered garden. Scattered in various places in Italy is still in the three PS: wine gourmet beauty. And ravello in summer also held an annual music festival that attracts people flocked to the packed so that you can not find the hotel. For those who haven't decided where to honeymoon of people, here is preferred. Former Jiabao elope with this, it is not unreasonable.

Pompeii naples pompeii, Naples

I think the Pompeii scenery, you'll see Egypt

The ruins of the temple, you can skip. Roman pillar compared to Egypt for many smaller, simply on the majestic. It is a common urban ruins. Because the ruined cities become famous.

Naples is very dirty, a train station is rubbish, it is said that because there's garbage strike.

I am not in this for the night, just an hour Transit train to go near a famous pizza u bought a pizza take-away. However, it is really delicious pizza, not famous.

Monarola (cinque terre) five fishing villages

From Naples by I do the overnight train to the cinque terre.

This night the car even more people to have no seat, I was too tired to sleep on the floor of the passage for several hours. Five fishing village scenery and suliantuo of almost, but more suited to do challenging hiking, meaning more wild. The great wall of China Association for the protection of also executed with them what mutual assistance treaty. Five fishing villages in the surrounding there are a lot of walking mountain road, to the various levels of difficulty. Because I go to the rain, I just chose to walk along the beach of a more gentle walking routes. There are two kilometers long road, connects five fishing villages in the two. Five fishing village also has a train arrives, you can buy a 24-hour ticket, tickets and train tickets are included. Go fast, five fishing day can go down. Unfortunately due to time constraints I wasn't able to here the thin experience. I bought two-day ticket, train schedules and hotel won't let out early, the last only a day away.

Here I live the local unique a youth hostel, 23 euro.

It is not expensive, but the hostel management a bit too nazi. Bathing day only once. Are you a es coins in the machine the same token, water will come out. Each time you wash only 5 minutes. And so also for hot water up to 30 seconds. Like me a bath twice a day, a 10-minute people, was a bit nervous. One is to also buy a token for the bath in the evening. They must first beard shave, clothes off, then plug token of boiling water, this time will be enough.

Milan, milan

Milan is the starting point of the walk, and terminal because the inverted aircraft, is back again.

Milan's Cathedral is a must see, but when I was in Milan to see so many churches, produced a Visual and aesthetic fatigue, don't want to go in, just go outside. Church of the surrounding boutiques are more attracted to Sun Max persons, all major name brand here has a shop, silver wealthier can spread out here. I never travel outside shopping, so have no interest in this. Run another Church, chiesa di santa maria. This was not that the Church famous, but because canteens in the Church's subsidiary a famous painting--the last supper. There is such a picture, and the General dining room. But since the da Vinci painted this picture, the Milanese nor the spots enlarge, didn't raise fares to limit to the number of visitors to see the picture you have 2 months in advance of scheduled visit, every 15 minutes. I was not made to, and that day is Monday, do not open the door. Just look at the outside, but also a wish.

Bergamo rubbing thin vidyalaya

Go to bergamo is not planned, it is because there is an airport.

Because it's too expensive hotels in Milan, and the second day of the aircraft took off from the bergamo, I also have no predetermined circumstances ran bergamo. This city from Milan has more than one hour's distance from the train, and only 4 km from the airport. Once off the train, bus transfer to it poured between the draws another story. Asked a few people before they find me to sit in the bus, ask where can I buy a ticket, they told me that the opposite of the tavern is sold. Into the pub I instantly would change the plan, because here are happy hour! I talk to the bartender said a bus ticket and a glass of burgundy (a public transport ticket and a glass of red wine). The bartender doesn't quite understand English, see me pointed at the bottle and the said ticket, bus stand dumbfounded, no one seems to buy the bus ticket so. After he woke up: come, let's say to wine, go to your bus ticket. I say just doesn't. Originally I intended to buy a bus ticket into the pub, I didn't expect to catch up with a wine tasting. It has a variety of snacks on the platform, as well as Italy's most delicious Bacon, sausage, peppers in olive oil, peanuts, chips, cheese, and Italy noodles. Anyway, I like to eat good food, Italy is only a small number, but after much travelling, as can fill the belly satisfy appetite. Look at other wine ' is also a put a handful of catch, I let go, for dinner. Checkout time is only considered for their wine, eat for free. So I bought the tickets, but also goods to the wine, also settled the supper, a total of 11 euros. Hi, Lok! this night live youth hostel is the best in Europe, with medals for bags only 18 euro for breakfast. By Forrest's words, the journey was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get.

After a few days to fly from Milan, and later went to the Czech Republic in Vienna, because out of Italy, here do not more.

Venice-venice

Venice is someone like someone hates urban, I do not want do not want to support.

Do not like just think something is too expensive here, even on a toilet, makes EU 1.5 beer costs. Like is unique because it is the scenery. Those promises of Oriental Venice city still a little self-knowledgeZhiming. I'm only here for a day, take the night train from Vienna to the left in the afternoon went to Venice, Verona. Viewing way remains the one wheel, not by boat. Venice is not big, you walk along the Canal. Sometimes you want to turn your small alley, or experience the charm of Venice. Because long heard that Venice is expensive, so when I came across a supermarket and I went to buy bread, sausages and water, and finally in guest, look at the "place to eat and drink" brand, and completed his lunch. I don't know why this place to eat and drink, the square so many pigeons are here to eat and drink of Lazarus, afraid I eat bread polluted environment? is it can only access the pigeons don't?

Verona verona

This is my last stop of the trip, feel a bit tired.

I'm going to stay here for two days to tidy up the mood. I did not find in Verona and what most of the world, if only fetched, you can give him one of the world's most romantic town. Why?: because this is a Romeo and Juliet in love. In fact, there is no history of this matter, but Shakespeare borrowed here as background, how to write the tears of love story. The city of Romeo's balcony, Romeo that was touching how many times the right milk. It is said that after the romantic touch things will happen. This legend, who will not touch it.

I went to the town's day is Sunday, continuously.

I think it is better to avoid a church or just join cultured in a week. I found the largest church in the city, there are to worship. Find a Chair to sit down and listen to a sermon by Italian preacher. Although do not understand anything, but I was feeling good. Because the priest speaks a word I had only learned of Italy: "signore", meaning probably can be translated into "comrades!" when he spoke, as if the sincerity to those monks tell what principles, ideals, and beliefs. Week lasted an hour, a priest of the propaganda and followers came to speak. Signore were quietly listen, what my heart to think don't know. But now I think I have experienced a similar situation, I hear and understand. Sitting on the stage is a firm, tone of sincerity. I was moved, be excited too. He said I am a devout. But how many years have passed, nobody and then pull me to such a situation, together with the review we had ideal firm we will eliminate our confusion. Sometimes I really hope someone informed me to open a assiduously.

The acoustics of the Church, the priest cloth is extremely well done road by a harp accompaniment to lead sing hymns, although only a harp, strings sound in the Church of each corner can be heard, loud, the same rich and faith.

I wish it could spread to the hearts of the faithful.
