From Roma to Firenze (Florence), I chose Frecciargento train company from Termini, Rome to arrive in Florence Santa Maria Novella train station. For early bird ticket price it's €18.75/pax and it takes approximately 1 hour 32 mins to arrive. Checked in to our apartment near San Marco as well as it's near to railway station. Day started by Hop On Hop Off bus in Florence city. As we only have limited time for the first day, so let's have a quick sightseeing trip by Hop-on-hop-off bus! Getting to Piazzale Michelangelo (Michelangelo Square), it is a square with a panoramic view of Florence, Italy, located in the Oltrarno district of the city.

Day 1 in Firenze ended with lovely culinary session with my families. This is why I like to stay in apartment as we can always have our own sweet time ♡ Sister & I walked to Carefour Express which is located near to our apartment, buying some pasta making ingredient just like a real Italian enjoying dinner cooking moment, hah :)
On the 19th Oct, it was a day trip to Pisa, Siena & San Gimignano. Tour fee of Adult - €80 ; Youth - €75 (Age 25 & below)
Hello from Siena ♡
Almost everyone is having the same pose here, lol
San Gimignano ♡
The breathe taking view. What a lovely town.
Following day was having another day trip to Cinque Terre. (Tour fee : €81). A quick review: Cinque Terre is in the Liguria region of Italy, to the west of the city of La Spezia, and comprises five villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. So for this day to reach in all the stated places, we take coach, train and ferry as it's surrounding by hills and sea.
Beware!
After 4 days 3 nights in Florence and its time to off to Venice. Italo Train was my choice, by costing us of €21 with 2 hours journey. Well, we dropped our luggage at Venezia Santa Lucia train station (groundfloor – platform1) with the surcharge of €6 per bag first 5 hours, €0.90 from 6th hour as we don't stay overnight in Venice. Gonna enjoy a 15 hours train journey to Paris after touring in Venezia, yipeeyeah. To get into Venice we need to take water taxi which cost €7.50 each way per pax. You can purchase the ticket in convenient store located at train station, make sure you buying the right ticket and heading to the correct platform. P/S: you can get two way ticket as well.
Details of my tour: A 3 hours Venice Walking Tour and Gondola Ride (Tour fee: €40.095)
The place reminds me of The Tourist which filming by Angelina Jolie ♡
Busy busy bee.
