Last week was very intense, with travelling and seeing sights! I received some guests from Finland for 10 days so I had almost the whole week off from studying. During the week I acted as a guide and visited some important sights in Rome, known a little less-known for me. Those coming to Rome for holiday I would gladly recommend the hill of Gianicolo which has an astonishing view of the whole wide city area. Suprisingly enough I came across a villa on Gianicolo owned by the Finnish state in order to teach Roman history and culture to those who are interested - more suprising was the sight of Finnish signs on the wall of the villa which lead to the recognizition of the place.
Apart from Rome I visited the beautiful cities of Firenze and Bologna. Firenze was a little disappointing, not because of the environment but the huge masses of tourists strolling around the city. Bologna was a little more friendlier with its more modern-like atmosphere and a small city center.
And of course, there was the wine of Tuscany...
Last week was mostly spent in restaurants and in the city but I am confident that the next three weeks will be mostly studying and reading for the mid-term exams. Hard studying ahead...
See you soon with the next update!
PS.
Here are some pictures from my last week's journeys. Enjoy!
