		<description><![CDATA[Our original plan after leaving Lucerne was to go to Munich and then Cologne, but Kimberley contacted us from Berlin and made it sound so good we changed our plans. So far we have not been dissapointed. The main train station, HBF, is a very cool complex. It is a huge glass and steel structure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today our wonderful host took us for a hike in the Swiss mountains near the village where he grew up and his family still lives. The name of the peak, Mittaggüpfi, literally translates to &#8216;Midday point&#8217; as the peak was a half way point where people would stop for lunch. Wendelin promised an easy, short [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lucerne is a small city and so is easy to explore in a day. The main tourist attraction is Löwendenkmal, the Lion Monument, and is only a short walk out of the main shopping and business area of Lucerne. The monument was carved to &#8216;commemorate the hundreds of Swiss Guards who were massacred in 1792 during [...]]]></description>

It was an 8 hour trip from Rome on two different trains so you can imagine we were very glad for a shower and a sample of Lucerne&#8217;s local beer, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After our stop at the Colloseum we made our way down Appia Antica, a Roman road that stretches out of the city for about 4 miles surrounded by archological sites. My favourite spots were Circus Maxentius, which looks like it could have been the set for the final chariot race in Ben Hur, and the Aquaducts. [...]]]></description>

The &#8216;Archeo-bus&#8217; complete with English commentary guided our way through the ruins. It is particularly interesting to us on our journey to see such amazing architecture and technology that the Romans [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One thing you will find everywhere in Rome is Fountains. You&#8217;d struggle to walk 2 blocks without running into one, although most aren&#8217;t particularly pleasant. The Fontana di Trevi is very clean though and attracts huge crowds. We spent at least an hour sitting by the fountain which I think is attached to a hotel. [...]]]></description>

This church is huge, and you may recall our visit to Montreal where we saw the replica a quarter of its size and thought it was big. Again it was hard to think of the building as place of spiritual worship for Catholics [...]]]></description>

It wasn&#8217;t a long wait (perhaps an hour or so) and we were through the turnstiles and into the Pope&#8217;s headquarters. Admittedly Simon and I were only intersted in the ceiling of [...]]]></description>

Today we made our way to the Accademia di Belle Arti Firenze (Academy of Fine Arts, Florence), usually known as just &#8216;the Accademia&#8217;.

The most famous being the Sagrada Familia, still not finished despite construction having commenced in 1911.  I had mixed feelings about the church, in one sense I thought it an eyesore, a mix of eratic images piled upon one another.
