Well not exactly, but we did meet up with some friends from American Samoa in Roma! Paul & Barbara are on holiday at the moment and we all arrived in Roma at the same time. After they're long, looooooooong flight from Pago Pago, they still managed to pick us up at the metro and show us around Roma on their first day in the country. Barbara is from Italy and has family in Roma so it was great to have a local tour guide...and a free place to stay!
Roma is full of sights from the Colliseum to the Vatican City and St. Peter's Basilica. We saw them all in between stops for pizza and gelato. We had a great 3 days in Roma seeing the sights, eating the food, and catching up on all the happenings in American Samoa.
After Roma we took the train to Siena to explore the medieval town. Siena is very quaint, but also very expensive...our one night stay probably didn't do it justice, but its still a nice place to visit.
Next was Firenze aka Florence where we delved into Renaissance Art and of course more pizza and gelato! Michelangelo was truly amazing. From his sistene chapel, which we saw in Roma, to his David in Florence, and everything in between, he was a true master of painting, sculpting, and architecture. I also went to the Galleria degli Uffizi, which CJ wasn´t too interested in so she went shopping. Boticelli was the highlight of that gallery...his Birth of Venus is pretty damn good.
After a few nights of Renaissance and free happy hour buffets in Florence we headed to Milan for a night mainly just to catch our flight to Ibiza!
