We have been to Rome for 4 days in 2003 but we wanted to visit the other parts of Italy but could not do that due to time constrain. We were planning for trip to Florence, Venice etc old classic route for long time.

Krovi and Vidya went to Italy on their paper honeymoon which was 3 weeks earlier than us and they did provided us with lots of good tips. Then we too spent a lot of time on Internet especially on Rick Steve’s site and talking to other friends about the same.

We found a very good deal on train via SNCF to Milan for to and fro in 1st class which we opted. We booked almost all our hotels via venere after planning our itinerary.

Our itinerary was: Day1 : Arrive Milan, after check-in leave for Pleasure day-trip to Lake Como and back to Milan. Day2: Train to Cinque Terre (hiking to an extraordinary old villages set in rugged coastal mountains ) Day3: Pisa (Picture stop at the Leaning Tower) and continue further for Florence Day4: Day trip to Sienna and back to Florence Day5: Explore renaissance city Florence Day6: Half day at Florence and leave for Venice Day7: Venice at leisure Day8: Back to Milan and at same night journey to home via rail.

Happy Holidays!!! Well year 2004 is almost over; wish you all the best for the year 2005 and next. This year we did not traveled like last year. But we did traveled to Italy and Greece for one week each, other than some of few short trips. You will find them in pictures for 2004. In the month of November we framed few pictures and cross-stitch work of Pamela. Here are the pictures of the same.

Loire Valley

River Loire is one of the four major rivers of France. It had always major importance to France. In the Medieval time or the best time of French civilization French Rules and noble men of that time had built lot of Chateau (castles) along this river. It is very close to Paris, which is one of the reasons to built their weekend home for hunting and relaxation here. We only visited three castles that Sunday.

Chateau de Versailles

I have a fascination for the colour of autumn, mat be the reason is I never experienced them before while in India and California. You can enjoy the same in Paris where trees along the big boulevards changes it colour. Around Paris particularly the Bois de Boulogne is very nice that time. We went to Versailles just to take pictures. It was not a very sunny day that Sunday, sun was playing around clouds.
