The problem with Museums is that you cant spend too less time and you cant spend too much time. Too less time and you are not satisfied. Too much time gives you museum-fatigue.Vamsee Modugulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16990519471419860046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049116091502212447.post-50560118406786154952008-12-17T22:31:00.000+05:302008-12-17T22:31:00.000+05:30Yum - now I'm craving Italian food too!

I am like you - when I go to one, I like to read *everything* and look at one piece from all angles etc. If I have to keep walking because we have just one afternoon or something, I lose interest. Loved the little anecdotes in your post - Michelangelo must have been one interesting character! Painting someone's face with a snake where it will hurt is hilarious! :)binduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13156291956967889455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049116091502212447.post-19259182681238714812008-12-17T08:54:00.000+05:302008-12-17T08:54:00.000+05:30vagabond,I feel weird posting these old travelogue...vagabond,<BR/>I feel weird posting these old travelogues. The writing and the photographs are not anywhere close to what I have now.<BR/><BR/>Don't give up birding. It is a lot of fun. I just came back from a birding trip and it was awesome.Vamsee Modugulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16990519471419860046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049116091502212447.post-77161313592361617672008-12-17T08:27:00.000+05:302008-12-17T08:27:00.000+05:30Lakshmi,I don't know what I was thinking when I wr...Lakshmi,<BR/>I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote my previous comment. All of Europe is notorious for purse snatching. There is rarely a danger to your life, but you need to make sure you keep your money in a safe place. We always take a money pouch that is worn under the garments and keep 20-30E that is more easily reachable.Vamsee Modugulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16990519471419860046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049116091502212447.post-22137420723671982392008-12-16T23:09:00.000+05:302008-12-16T23:09:00.000+05:30Loved reading this second part too.

The photos are beautiful and your narration was quite interesting too. <BR/><BR/>LOL. I used to be an avid birdwatcher too during my undergrad years and I think I drove my family absolutely nuts over it when we traveled. Now that I'm over (in recovery) from that phase, I can appreciate the humor in the last paragraph...bwahahahaha! What a geek :P<BR/>I was also a butterflywatcher. Erm. Still am. But I dont GPS the coordinates so dont noone point fingers and laugh.

Most of the touristy places are full of people till late at night, so we felt completely safe.<BR/>I was alone in Florence/Milan for 3 days and even there I felt very safe walking around the town at night.Vamsee Modugulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16990519471419860046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2049116091502212447.post-21660372311678608362008-12-16T19:57:00.000+05:302008-12-16T19:57:00.000+05:30i was in rome for a little more than a day and i l...i was in rome for a little more than a day and i loved the city...and the food..tho i found it a bit unsafe in the night..Lakshmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10131764134144215720noreply@blogger.com
