Honeymoon (Part 2)

Rome... what a beautiful city filled with so many sights. We saw the Colliseum, Vatican museum, St. Peter's Basilica, Trevi Fountain, and the Spanish Steps. My favourite would be the Vatican Museum, I think I could spend hours and hours just gazing at the ceilings. Don't you love this ceiling shot we took? Unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures in the Sistine Chapel (though that didn't stop other people)

































Florence and Pisa. Here's a picture of the replica of the Statue of David, we didn't have time to go to the museum to take a picture of the real thing, cause .... I was shopping :( lol. And of course Europe is not complete without the leaning tower of Pisa.
















Villefranche
. Oh such a picturesque town. It was so relaxing just wondering around the streets, looking at the beautiful water... and the french food... oh, it was the best Creme Brulee we had on the trip. YUM (did I mention I had Creme Brulee on the boat... almost every night? I think i missed 3 nights out of the 2 weeks)
















Here's the pictures of our dinner mates on the boat. We had the funny outrageous Australian Couple, and we had the young classy New Yorkers.












Closer to the end of the trip, they had a midnight dessert buffet. They had about 5 tables set up, and here's two of them....Oh it looked so good!! Course we were stuffed from dinner so the only thing we tried was the FIVE different kinds of Creme Brulee. (lol, we found out that the Vanilla Flavour is best).












Last pictures, here is a picture of what we ate at the Barcelona Airport. Unfortunately we didn't have time to go explore in Barcelona (I really wanted to see the flag ship store for my wedding dress :( ). But we did buy souvenirs to remember it by. And the last picture is from our layover in Germany.... That is called a Large Beer in Germany....I swear everything is supersized over there.... LOL

















If we ever go to Europe again (and I hope we do, we did throw a coin in the Trevi Fountain)... we'd love to see the gothlic church in Barcelona (Sagrada Familia - it's suppose to be complete in 2041!!) and I'd personally would love to see more of France.
