My first holiday abroad
I enjoyed my first holiday abroad in Italy. My sister, me and two other girls booked a guided tour by bus to Rome for one week. We stayed in a little hotel outside of Rome, so, it was not so expensive. Every day, the bus took us to Rome and on a few days we had guided tours to Rome`s most famous sightseeings. But the most impressive event for me was an excursion to the Villa D`Este in the Albanian Mountains. This villa was surrounded by a park you had an amazing view over the valley below from. In the park you could not only find a pool surrounded by statues and archs but also a vast number of fountains. Most of them not easily to discover because placed in a stonewall and hidden by plants or at a tiny edge at a staircase. Many of the fountains were made by stone and depicted the face of a mythological figure.
Cheers Eve

This sounds like absolute bliss, Eve! You write about it so beautifully, maybe you'll have to ask Ludovica for a job as a tour guide!
ReplyDeleteI think it is inevitable to visit touristic places when we go somewhere we never been before. But it is even better to discover unknown sites as you did, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHi Eva I'm Ludovica.
ReplyDeleteWhich other places have you visited? Did you enjoy them?
I hope to hear from you soon
Hi, Ludovica,
Deletewe visited all these most famous places in Rome a tourist sees while staying the first time in Rome, e.g. the Spanish staircase, the Coloseum, the Roman Forum and the Fountain of Europe. Eve
Very interesting journey, Eve. I can imagine you have been several times in Italy because it is closed to your house in Germany, isn't it?
