First days in Italy




Maite and I have arrived safely in Italy and we seem to manage very well with a mixture of 3 languages (Spanish, Romanian and English) - Maite speaks Spanish to the people so they can understand us, they speak Italian back to us, which I understand.
So far we were in Alessandria with my friend Oana, where we did some shopping; then we visited Milan and set off to Venice!
We are now in Florence getting ready to start the day! :)
Milan was quite and adventure, especially with the Metro system that we kind of figured out only when we left!
Venice is out of this world!!!! Very beautiful and just amazing! Whoever has said that Venice is expensive was very wrong.... we have managed to find good food for cheap.... and restaurants seem to have affordable food!!!!
We took a boat on the Grand Canale and just enjoyed the ride.... we spent a lot of time in St. Mark's Square and then getting lost on the narrow streets.........
More to come!!
