Orvieto

One of the highlights of my trip to Europe was to spend 6 days on an artistic interlude in a town called Orvieto.  Orvieto is situated on a rock made of Tufa (volcanic rock)...it was the most beautiful place to spend a chunk of time. 

The beautiful Duomo

Colosseum

One of my favourite places in Rome was the Colosseum and the surrounding area.....to see it in "real life" was incredible....

and my other favourite place was the Pantheon....I just love the dome of this amazing building
