Finally, some pictures!

Tibidabo! The big mountain at the back of Barcelona that we visited on a cloudy day, also home to one of the oldest amusement parks in Europe!

I know these are completely out of order, but this is Florence, just outside the Uffizi museum and if you see in the background there are lots of leaning towers, churches and replicas of famous sculptures.

One great big church in Florence, we didn't go inside this one but the outside was quite unique!

This is inside Vatican City, in one of the many many halls fulllll of sculptures by famous artists like Michelangelo, and the likes! There are SO many, they can't even display them properly!

The maps room, one of my favorite in Vatican City, all the walls are painted with accurate maps of Italy and different cities. The detail is amazing and accuracy too considering they were done hundreds of years ago.

The ceiling of one of the popes rooms - also know as one of "The Raphael Rooms"

Inside the worlds largest Church - St. Peters Basilica, where 4 popes are "preserved" and on display. (Creepy if you ask me) but its the tallest building in Rome - nothing is allowed to be taller!

Part of the Roman Forum. See that column at the back left? The height of that was the original ground level but SOMEHOW 3000 years ago, these people were able to dig out that deep for miles and miles and miles to build all of these ancient markets, temples, houses, etc.

The coloseum! The best view of it was from the Palatine Hill which is part of the Forum. 

Mama mia! Standing at the top of The Spanish Steps in Rome on our last evening there.

A beautiful courtyard we came across in Rome.

Venice! Look at the leaning tower in the background!

Back in Barcelona before mom went home, we went to the MNAC museum and this is the view from in front of it at Montjuic :)

Venice, one of the churches on the tiny tiny island of San Giorgio. Lovely.

Venice obviously, look at all the boats out there at the same time! We also saw them hauling a cruiseship in with 2 tugboats.

The venice skyline from the island of Lido - which I quite enjoyed.

Mom in heaven in Murano where all the glass is blown. This is one of the many glass sculptures that they had just hangin around outside in the streets!

The island of Burano - the colour themed island where the gov't chooses the house colours. Makes a very empty island seem much more liveyl doesn't it?

And back in Florence, this is a little space where they have replicas of famous statues that you can get up close to and see and take pictures with - another example of how crowded it can be - even at night!
