part2 - EUFA EURO 2012 Ukraine

One thing that immediately became evident is that the route to the fan squares was set out. The streets among the route were cleened up so to say. This pictures might say it all. It is a house (I guess) which is packed in fabric. When you have a quick look it does not show but it is a house packed in a fabric with a nice house on it.

 The next photo was just a nice sight. It immediately reminded me of Full House and it almost seems like the picture was taken in San Fransisco.

 When we arrived at the orange fan (freedom square) square it was busy already. And we did not know where to look.

At the orange square a large podium was set up, where several famous Dutch performed among which was Armin Van Buuren, the world famous DJ!

As said there was so much to see and even passing by. These people were entertaining the crowds.

Aquarium Genova(Genoa), Italy

We went to the aquarium in Genova. The weather predicted for our vacationadres was bad so we decided to visit the aquarium. The aquarium was said to be the biggest in Europe so it was very interesting to take a look.

Genova is rather a big city compared to our vacationvillage which has one supermarket. Genova is a big town. Which shows on this picture.

The aquarium is situated in a harbour area. The harbour is a site itself. Many beautiful ships are to be looked at. It is not easy to find however just follow the signs for centre/port antico and the signs for the aquarium will show up eventually.

The aquarium costs 19 euro and for kids to 3 years it is free. Let's put it this way it is well worth it!
Once in the aquarium, it really was a sight! There are beautiful big tanks for the creatures to live in. There are dolphins, different kind of sharks, all kinds of fish, from piranha to clownfish and there is a tank to pet fish. The route is well put together and there is staff everywhere to help you when you have questions. A big plus is that they all speak english very well, which is rare.

When you are finished in the aquarium, take a look around. Genoa is a beautiful old city. The harbour alone can keep you occupied for hours!

Italy weather a dissapointment...

Well the weather here is crummy, to say the least. On facebook I see my dutch friends at pools in the sun while here the rain is pouring. Although the weather is not good, the Italian vibe is there. I still love it here, the people, the food.

It is funny to see that Italians are not really rain people. The store have their merchandise outside and when it rains the store inside is so full you cannot get in. Carwashes are outside, we have them in a garage but here it is all outside. Restaurants same story!

Snooki

Here in Italy there are several Snooki. And Gianni lookalikes but there have been sightings of a couple that could be their twins. I will try to get a picture as soon as possible...

National holiday in Italy

Today it is a national holiday in Italy and everywhere italian flags are hung and festivities are held. The weather here is pretty bad. All day showers, so I feel bad for the people who want to go to the festivities which are mostly outside. Allthough the weather is bad, the sights it brings are great!

Till so far, will return soon!
