It was a nice trip, a respite from all the walk- ing to do on land. They had a nice entertainment room with a Spanish singer. Despite the language barrier, he tried to please us with his rendition of “Let it Be”, and it was a lovely evening. We drank Mythos beer, of Greek origin, saying goodbye to the beverage that I would dare say was the best I’ve tasted so far. There’s one that we tasted in Korea, but I forgot its name. We would disembark the next day at the port of ANCONA, IN ITALY. Our tourist guide, EIRINE PSALTI, and our tourist bus were also on the boat. As we waited for the bus to come out, our mouths gaped as we watched more than a hundred buses and trucks come out of the boat’s belly. It was like, The Ormoc Garden Club and ARCO Travel and Tour guests pose before the National Library of Florence. “where the hell did they come from?” Then, it was time for another longish trip again, around 5 hours. By the time we reached FLORENCE, it was already dark and we were famished. However, that arrival was one of the best parts of our trip. We checked in to the nicest hotel we’ve stayed so far (a pity that we were only staying for one night) and had dinner at a nearby Chinese restaurant where they served great food. An added bonus was all the waiters and waitress- es, even the cooks, were Filipino. They were from Pampanga, all related to each other, and recruited by their aunt and uncle who was the first to work in Florence. At least, that night, we didn’t grapple with language barriers. Florence is in the PROVINCE OF TUSCANY, said to have the loveliest scenery in the whole of Italy. There are no high mountains in Tuscany, only rolling hills and a farmer’s paradise as far as the eyes can see. FLORENCE OR FIRENZE. This is the second time I would be in Florence. This time, I got to ex- plore the beautiful city for a few hours unlike before when we just had a short stop. However, I have had not enough of the place. One day, I would like to Our very nice buffet dinner at a Chinese restaurant in Florence; Right, on the boat from Greece to Italy. return to Florence and explore its museums, which are numerous. Just like most European countries, a tour in the heart of the city means a lot of walking. Except for a few horse carriages, only bicycles are allowed inside the cobbled streets. Our guide Eirini first brought us to theBASILICA DI SAN LORENZO owned by the powerful Medici family which has produced four Popes. They are POPE LEO X, POPE CLEMENT VIII, POPE PIUS IV, AND POPE LEO XI. The family also produced two queens, CATHERINE DE MEDICI AND MARIE DE MEDICI. Their house is across the Basilica which is also the family mausoleum. Every corner, it seems, in the heart of Florence is a church. However, the CATHEDRAL OF FLORENCE eclipses all of the other churches in architecture and beauty.
