Hotel La Rotonda

The hotel I stayed at in Pontedera.

Milan Central Station

This amazing building is the central railway station in Milan. I caught this train down to Florence and transferred on to Pontedera.

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele

Part of the iron and steel dome in the fashion galleria. A very popular place for tourists.

Duomo di Milano II

Inside the wonderful cathedral. I was lucky enough to be there for a Sunday morning mass. Although as a tourist I could not sit in the mass, I was able to hear the wonderful voices and music. This photo does not do the scale of the cathedral justice. You must see it to believe it.

View

A view of Milan from the Cathedral roof. You can see the iron and glass dome of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele just next door.

Piazza

Looking onto the piazza from the roof of the Milan Cathedral.

King Vittorio Emanuelle II

A beautiful statue of King Vittorio Emanuelle the second. This statue faces the Milan Cathedral.

Duomo di Milano

The Milan Cathedral in Duomo, Italy. Quite spectacularly big.

Cloud

Ascending through the cloud on the way out of Copenhagen toward Milan.

Power Generators

A line of wind turbines in the sea near Copenhagen airport, Denmark. I never got to set foot outside the airport here while transferring flights, but I did see a few things through the windows, like this.

Airport

Schipol airport near Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

Car

A nice old Citroen car in Arnhem.

Canal

Holland is full of canals. This is one of them, with boats and trees lining it.

Hotel in Giethoorn

I had a delicious apple crumble and orange juice at a famous pub/cafe in Giethoorn. Apparently it is famous for a movie called Fanfare that was recorded here about a music competition.

Venice of Holland

This is in Geithoorn, Holland, also called the Venice of Holland for its canals. Apparently all the houses here are privately owned and if you live here it's like living in a museum. It was a beautiful place and if I had the time it would be worth taking a row around in a canoe.

Forest

A forest near Arnhem. Just like in little childhood stories and fairy tales.

Watermill Restaurant

The watermill restaurant in Velp, Holland. This was a very nice restaurant near our bed and breakfast in the town of Velp, close to Arnhem in the Netherlands.

Big Trip

I recently went on a big trip overseas. This was my first trip to Europe. Here is the view out the window heading into Copenhagen.
