Florence: when it comes to Renaissance art, there’s probably no better city in the world to soak it all in!
Our time here was spent viewing works by Italian masters both in museums and public spaces, marvelling at the architecture - in particular Florence Cathedral and its massive dome, going in search of the best lookout points, and eating plenty of pizza & gelato sharing the best things to do in Florence on your visit.
We paid 15 Euros for a ticket that gave us access to 5 attractions associated with Florence Cathedral. Giotto’s Campanile, the bell tower stands 84.7 metres with 414 steps.
We made our way over to our next attraction: the Baptistry. Known as both the Florence Baptistry and the Baptistry of Saint John.
We continued to Museo dell’Opera del Duomo, which is a museum dedicated to conserving artworks relating to Florence Cathedral.
It was time to climb the dome of Florence Cathedral. We ate our gelato at Grom and it was delicious.
The Uffizi Gallery is considered one of the best museums in the world focusing on the Italian Renaissance. Most of the art collection you see today was gifted to the city of Florence by Anna Maria Luisa, the last Medici heiress.
From Uffizi Gallery you get some pretty cool views of Ponte Vecchio and the Arno River from a higher vantage point.
We visited in Florence was Piazza della Signoria, an L-shaped square right in the heart of the city. A landmark in this square is Palazzo Vecchio or the Town Hall. And to the right of this building, you have the Loggia dei Lanzi.
Speaking of David, we did find him, over at Galleria dell’Accademia. Michelangelo’s David depicts the Biblical David carved out of a single block of marble.
Ponte Vecchia during the 16th century that one of the Medici ordered for the butcher shops to be replaced with jewellers.
When it comes to sunset in Florence, there are no better views than from Piazzale Michelangelo overlooking the historic center on the other side of the Arno River.
This indoor market is foodie central with the second floor of the market is filled with eateries. Central Market is a great place to pick up ingredients to bring back to your kitchen.
We hope you enjoyed this Florence travel guide and that it gave you ideas of things to do.

We cover activities you won't find in a typical Venice tourism brochure, Venice itinerary or Venice, Italy city tour also known as Venezia Italia.
20 Things to do in Venice, Italy Travel Guide Video Transcript: (VENEZIA ITALIA):
We’re taking you on a whirlwind tour of Venice in winter visiting the famed Floating City. Join us as we show you the best things to see, do and eat in Venice.
The Vaporetto is Venice’s water bus service. The standard ticket is 7.50 Euros and valid for 60 minutes, the 1 day pass is 20 Euros and valid for 24 hours.
The most visited attraction in Venice: Piazza San Marco where there is quite a bit to see and do around the square beginning with St Mark’s Basilica.
St Mark’s Campanile, a tall brick bell tower was once used by approaching ships as a beacon to guide them home where you get great views of the city.
Then you have the Doge’s Palace, which was the residence of the Doge of Venice, the ruler of the former Republic of Venice built in the Venetian Gothic style.
Don't forget the Bridge of SIghs, whose name refers to the sighs of prisoners who would get their last glimpse of Venice as they were led from Doge's Palace to their cells.
Across to the other side of the Grand Canal, you have the Basilica of Saint Mary of Health and the Galleria dell’Accademia in case you’re in the mood for art.
A restaurant we really enjoyed La Zucca - a place where all the dishes are made with pumpkin! The Rialto Market specializes in produce and fresh seafood for self-catering.
Let’s talk about island hopping in Venice:
Founded in the 5th century, Torcello is even older than Venice and was the original settlement in the Venetian Lagoon with lots of walking paths, nature and Byzantine mosaics.
Burano is known for its lace work and brightly coloured homes with plenty of restaurants, cafes and shops to browse.
Mazzorbo island sits next to Burano and is connected by a bridge while being known for its vineyards and orchards.
Murano is renowned for its glass production dating back to 1291 when the glassmakers in Venice were forced to relocate by the Venetian government.
Lido is an 11-kilometre sandbar island that shelters the lagoon from the Adriatic Sea with beaches, lots of seaside homes, and this is also where the Venice Film Festival takes place.
A restaurant we liked in Venice is Osteria Mocenigo specializing in local cuisine. Try the “Sarde in saor” - a typical Venetian dish made with sardines.
While your vaporetto pass is valid ride the canals at night and watch the Floating City come to life.
We hope you enjoyed this Venice travel guide and that it gave you a few ideas for your own trip.

10 Things to do in Ljubljana, Slovenia Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Prešeren Square is a central meeting spot in the heart of the Old Town, so it made sense to start our tour of Ljubljana here. You’ll find the Franciscan Church of the Annunciation, lots of gelato shops, and the baffling bridge we just mentioned.
As for the reasoning behind the Triple Bridge and the famed dragon bridge, which is guarded by four dragons.
Ljubljana’s Central Market is another spot worth checking out.
We needed to sample some Slovenian food so we went to Allegria.
Sam ordered Zlikrofi (zhlee-krofi), a Slovenian dumpling stuffed with potato + lamb goulash along with Slovenian sausage with cabbage & potatoes.
Ljubljana Castle, which sits on Castle Hill overlooking the city. Built as a medieval fortress in the 11th century, Ljubljana Castle has seen many redesigns and renovations. Climb the Outlook Tower for 360 degree views of the city.
There are departures for cruises down the Ljubljanica. We boarded a cruise directly underneath the Love Lock Bridge, which is actually called Mesarski Most. It was our favourite activity in Ljubljana and it was a super relaxed way to watch the city.
Metelkova is home to the best street art.
One place we really enjoyed was Sarajevo 84, a restaurant specializing in Balkan cuisine. The portions massive & everything we ordered was delicious.
We had a feast featuring: grilled meat with pita and onions, baked beans and sausage, roasted peppers, and a flaky pastry stuffed with cheese. It only came to 23 Euros.
Speaking of galleries and museums, a few you’ll find include: the National Gallery, the Museum of Modern Art, and the National Museum of Slovenia.
We finished off at Tivoli, which is the largest park in Ljubljana.
And that’s it for our time in Ljubljana. Our visit was short, tasty, and relaxing, and we’re really glad we made some time to visit this underrated capital.
Now you guys know the drill; if there are any other things to do in Ljubljana that we may have missed in this travel guide, feel free to share your suggestions with fellow travellers below.

Visiting Easter Island Travel Guide (Isla de Pascua - Rapa Nui)
Sometimes a once in a lifetime opportunity presents itself and you take it. Traveling to Easter Island (known locally as Rapa Nui and in Spanish as Isla de Pascua) was something we never thought possible in our lifetimes. However, when a short-time discounted airfare was available, we snapped it up and with an opportunity to explore the island slowly, we spent time hiking, walking and renting a vehicle to cover as much as the island as possible. The following Easter Island travel video is our best attempt to document our day to day adventure in the form of a series of vlogs from Day 1 to Day 7. We feel that if you're going to experience the best Easter Island has to offer you had better give yourself a 4 to 7 days.
Our visit Easter Island travel guide documentary covers some of the top attractions including all of the various moai statues, beaches and best locations for sunset and sunrise photos. We also cover off-the-beaten-path activities you won't find in a typical Easter Island tourism brochure.

Visiting Easter Island Travel Documentary (Isla de Pascua - Rapa Nui) Polynesia Video Transcript:
After close to a month travelling around Chile, Sam and I hopped on a plane to visit Easter Island, known locally as Rapa Nui. This was the closest we were ever going to get to this remote speck in the ocean, which also happens to be the southeasternmost point of the Polynesian Triangle. We gave ourselves one full week to explore Isla de Pascua, and what follows is a travel guide of our time there. We hiked ancient volcanoes, stood face to face with the moai, watched spectacular sunrises and sunsets, and road tripped around the island while wild horses ran alongside. It was an incredible week and we hope this video will inspire you to plan your own visit to Easter Island.
Rano Kau is 324 meters tall and it is located on the southwestern tip of Rapa Nui. We hiked all the way from town, and because of it’s gradual incline, we found it to be a relatively easy activity. That being said, we would recommend doing it early in the morning, since there were very few shaded areas along the way.
Orongo is a village and ceremonial site located just past the Rano Kau Crater. Unfortunately, it started pouring rain shortly after we reached the site, so we didn’t get to visit, but we made plans to return later that week.
That evening we made our way into Hanga Roa to watch the sun set from the harbour. There were lots of surfers out on the water, and the waves kept rolling in and crashing against the rocks.
After the market we took a walk to Ahu Tahai, which is a ceremonial complex that holds 3 different ‘ahus’ or platforms with moai. Perhaps the most famed of the three is Ahu Ko Te Riku, which stands out from the rest because it has restored eyes.
Having already visited Ahu Tahai by day, we still made it a point to come in the late afternoon.
Rano Raraku is yet another volcano crater found on the island, and it is also the site of the quarry that supplied the stone for the hundreds of moai that can be found on the island. The quarry is believed to have been in use for a span of 500 years up until the early 18th century when activity ceased. It would also appear that this site was abandoned in a rush since many of the moai here are unfinished.
After seeing the moai scattered on the slopes of the volcano, we took a little detour and hiked into the crater. We also spotted wild horses and a few moai inside the crater, which was quite unexpected.
From there we continued on to Ahu Tongariki for a quick visit. This site is home to 15 moai, making it the biggest ‘ahu’ on the island.
The best place to catch the sunrise in Rapa Nui is at Ahu Tongariki. We made the drive in the dark and we arrived just as the sky was beginning to show it’s soft morning colours.
One of the best decisions we made on our trip was to rent a car so that we would have the ability to explore all of Easter Island.
And just like that our week on Easter Island was up! Rapa Nui is one of the most fascinating places we have ever visited, and we loved getting to explore every inch of the island.
This is part of our Travel in Easter Island Rapa Nui (Isla de Pascua) series.

Places to see in ( Cantabria - Spain ) Cuevas de Puente Viesgo
Places to see in ( Cantabria - Spain ) Cuevas de Puente Viesgo
The Cueva de El Castillo, or the Cave of the Castle, is an archaeological site within the complex of the Caves of Monte Castillo, and is located in Puente Viesgo, in the province of Cantabria, Spain. It contains the oldest known cave art in Europe.
Some researchers argue this might even be the oldest known example of artwork in the world and possibly a product of Homo neanderthalensis. Hand stencils, claviforms (club shapes) and disks made by blowing paint onto the wall in El Castillo cave were found that date back at least 40,800 years, making them older than those of the Chauvet Cave in central France, which are dated to around 39,000 years BP.
As traditional methods such as radiocarbon dating do not work where there is no organic pigment, a team of British, Spanish and Portuguese researchers led by Dr. Alistair Pike of the University of Bristol dated the formation of tiny stalactites on top of the paintings using the Uranium-thorium dating technique, thus obtaining a minimum age for the art. Where larger stalagmites had been painted, maximum ages were also obtained.
The archaeological stratigraphy has been divided into around 19 layers, depending on the source they slightly deviate from each other, however the overall sequence is consistent, beginning in the early Aurignacian, around 44,100 years ago and ending in the Bronze Age.
Cueva del Castillo was discovered in 1903 by Hermilio Alcalde del Río, a Spanish archaeologist, who was one of the pioneers in the study of the earliest cave paintings of Cantabria. The entrance to the cave was smaller in the past and has been enlarged as a result of archaeological excavations.
Alcalde del Río found an extensive sequence of images executed in charcoal and red ochre on the walls and ceilings of multiple caverns. The paintings and numerous markings and graffiti span from the Lower Paleolithic to the Bronze Age, and even into the Middle Ages. There are over 150 depictions already cataloged, including those that emphasize the engravings of a few deer, complete with shadowing.
( Cantabria - Spain ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Cantabria . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Cantabria - Spain

Moroccan Food Review in Granada, Spain Travel Food Video Transcript:
It is day 3 in Granada so we have basically covered most of the main attractions. Yeah. But we have another beautiful sunny day. We do. Even if it is cold so we're going for a walk along the Darro river before we have lunch. Then we're going to do Moroccan food but most of the restaurants don't even open until 1 pm.
For today's meal here in Granada we are at a Moroccan restaurant. This place is called Al-Faguara and we were here yesterday and it was so good that we immediately planned to come back for lunch the following day. Why are we having Moroccan food?
Because we are like a ferry ride away from Morocco.
This is a big part of the cuisine culture here in Granada.If you come here there is just restaurants galore yeah in terms of what you can try from Morocco basically. We've been doing a lot of shopping on what is known as Moroccan street and they have a lot of tea shops and restaurants. So yeah we figured let's make a dedicated Moroccan food video and introduce you guys to some tasty dishes.
we should mention we are doing a three course meal. Yes, we are. So appetizers first. Yeah and before I even begin I want to make a point that we all carefully selected different food items yes so we can show you something different.
So Sam I've got pita bread here. And I have delicious looking hummus that has it looks like it is very spicy. It looks like it has some paprika maybe.
ow we are moving on to George. Who got the falafel. Three falafels.
So let us see how we do with that. Okay. Isn't this the same thing you had yesterday as well?
It was. it was the same thing.
For my starter I got the harira which is a Moroccan soup. And it is steaming so careful how close you get the lens.
So as you can see it has got some chickpeas, noodles. It has a little bit of beef. Some vegetables. And yeah it is just really nice on a cold day. It is really hearty.
Moving on to the mains. I ordered the Chicken Tagine which is cooked in a claypot.
Clear or ceramic.
If you take a closer look we have two pieces of chicken, a bed of green peas. We've got carrots. Zucchini. So lots of veggies in here.
It was still bubbling when they brought it to the table. So this is probably going to be hot.
This is chicken with couscous on the bottom. It has got raisins, caramelized onions and it is sweet.
Now moving on to George.
We have a spinach roll. Yes. And a little mountain of rice. Mountain of I'm not sure what it is. It looks like rice and veggies.
Now moving on to dessert. They have 3 options. You can get tea, coffee or ice cream. Today we've gotten teas and coffees.
Got myself a little cup of tea. It comes in this beautiful teapot.
What we ended up doing is supplementing our dessert which is our tea and our coffees with baklava.
We're going to enjoy our dessert and then we'll be back for price point.
That was a fantastic meal. In terms of the price point it came to 48 Euros total for the 4 of us. 12 per person

Spanish Food Review - Eating Paella Valenciana in Valencia, Spain Travel Video Transcript:
It is lunchtime here in Valencia, Spain and of course we had to order Paella. This is considered the National Dish of Spain by foreigners but Spaniards will tell you this is more of a regional specialty. We've ordered two paellas. The first one is the Valencian one and then we've also ordered that is called Fideuà which is a noodle Paella which comes from Alicante. That is going to be coming in 20 minutes. In the meantime we've ordered some tapas. We have the Jamón serrano, we also have patatas bravas and we have some loaves of bread fresh out of the oven. This is going to be tasty.
La Paella Valenciana. Oh! Wow! Paella es la grande.
The food is here and we are going to start off with the Valencian Paella (Valenciana). Let's talk about the ingredients. This one comes with chicken. Rabbit meat. And it also has snails and it has green beans and it has cardo beans and what is this rosemary right here? This looks so good. I'm going to scoop some up. And the rice is cooked in saffron. That gives it its yellow color. And we should also talk about the size of the pan. The waiter was just explaining like this looks massive. It is only for 2 people but what they do is if they have more people eating out of it like 3 or 4 they just keep adding more rice and it will be thicker.
Let's try this. The meat is crispy and golden. So is the rice. I love it when you get the golden rice like that. That is the best part for sure.
What I find so neat about Paella is that there is so many different kinds you can have from vegetables to seafood to this traditional Valencian one. You can have mixed ones as well. Yeah, there was one with chicken. There was one on the menu that had black squid ink. We were eying that as well.
Next up this is the alternative to Paella. This is Alicante's version. Yeah. And it is made with noodles. That is right. Fideuà. But before I even talk about this I have to first talk about the Paella now. For the four of us to finish that I give us an A+ because that wasn't easy. That was a lot of food. And now we're moving on to round 2. Yes. We have another big big pot full of food to eat. Yeah look at those. I'm just going to use the spoon here. So this one has um prawns. It has cuttlefish, it has a different kind of noodle. Mussels. Oh mussels too. Red peppers. It has got a bit of everything. It smells really good. It has like a very strong fish seafood smell.
Time to tell us the price. We ate so much there is going to be no dinner tonight. That was just a wonderful meal. Just a great place. Really nice service. Great quality. So the meal in total came to 82 Euros. Just over 20 Euros per person. That included 2 really nice appetizers, complimentary bread. A liter of water to share and of course those two main dishes. So that was just outstanding value. We are all so full. We are going to be in full on siesta mode. If you're visiting here in Valencia, Spain definitely have to try the Paella and Fideuà. And also you should consider coming to this restaurant (Ocho y Medio) too.
