Tuesday, May 6th, 2008


Mario fell down from a train that had led to Florence with calculated slowly. Since time was different was missing from the city, had given some time for himself and his memories, which are increasingly making company to its days of pilot and official retired. So when he found himself again with our feet on the ground, the swarm of travelers had already evaporated toward the exits for the city and remained, scattered here and there, small crocchi families or couples engaged vocianti too taken by themselves to worry about good ways.

Only one person risaltava in that framework, reassuring because the same in all stations of the world. It could not be otherwise, given its presence is required for the attention, with the physicality and security body of a young and athletic, and determined ways with which passed by a crocchio to another, apparently asking the kind of information. So when approached, porgendogli a photograph, Mario was able to assess and decide calmly that that type not liked. He was shot in long, and in his travels were many people who had known, thus developing his sixth sense that always helped him to understand who had faced.

“Excuse me. The main event saw this girl travelling on the train? “Made him the young, without too much formality, porgendogli a photograph incorporating a beautiful girl with Vesuvius in the background.

The best way to Florence is without doubt by train. The station of Santa Maria Novella is 5 minutes walk from the city centre. The connections between the station of Santa Maria Novella and the airport A. Vespucci, plus the Taxi whose tariff should stay around 15 euros one way, are insured by bus Sita, which stop in Catherine of Siena, 17, always close to the station. Generally every half hour from a bus connecting the airport and railway station. In front of the station, or in the immediate vicinity, there are many bus stops citizen (ATAF) and under the shelters stop the coaches who run the city, with two different prices, the second you want to be able to pick up and go into any stop or not (the prices are not exactly cheap).

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

You would be delighted to know that Travel writer Rolf Potts has declared the hills here to be one of the ten spots to visit in America.

Kansas’ Flint Hills

The greenery and the beautiful hills are just enticing. The Cottonwood Falls is a beautiful and serene place for travel. The Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve that is 1 or 2 kms. Above the Cottonwood Falls is a remarkable place to be seen. It preserves the illustration of the tall grass that used to spread over the 400,000 square miles of this land, but is now about to be extinct.

The tourism provides three bus-tours which take the tourists into this treeless land- the land of grasses.

It is an exciting experience for all those who love green atmosphere and silence. The strange insects and bugs also add an extra-dimension to this tour. It was really lovely to witness the beauty of this grassland.
