Italy & UK 2015

We visited UK and mostly Italy in late spring this year, arriving just in time for the Easter holiday. Uncle David hosted us with great hospitality at his place in South Kensington. The last time we were there was in the year 2011 during the Royal Wedding, some photos of the our royal wedding holiday can be found here.

This is our first trip to Italy so these are some touristy photos while we're not drinking espresso, eating gelato or navigating the complicated street of Italy with GPS



The Pantheon


Streets of Rome



The majestic St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican city


 Colosseum and Palatine hill



Beautiful Tuscany

We hopped onto a bus and join a group of tourist on a day trip to Tuscany. We were also brought to a wineyard and had a good introduction on Italian wine and also many glasses of wine.


Venice



Enjoyed dining by the canal and they gave generous amount of clams in Spaghetti Vongole


Regent Park in the UK

The science museum in London with lots of WW2 relics

Saw these mustard seed in the field for the first time while on a roadtrip, they look really good in sunny day.
