In transit: Matt on the train on the way to Florence.
Siena: me and lil’ Matty in the Cathedral in Siena.
Pisa: James got attacked by a bug and I laughed and Matt was unfazed.
Pisa: me, James and Matt at the very top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Tuscany: in the gallery of San Gimignano’s ‘Torre Grossa’ (the tallest tower in the city). “This guy right here”.
The blurry nature of the photo is attributed to the fact that THE PHOTO IS ILLEGAL. OH THE RECKLESS ABANDON OF IT ALL, OH THE COOL RUTHLESSNESS OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER TO OBTAIN HER SHOT!
Tuscany: spot the difference- me, James and Matt on the church steps in San Gimignano.
Tuscany: Matt hitting Struggle Street intersecting with Hard Times Road in 30 degrees + heat with his ice-cream, San Gimignano.
Incidentally… the best ice-cream to have been eaten thus far in all my exhausting years of existing.
Wednesday 27th marked our first day in Tuscany. The 34 degree temperature was a welcome change from THE ETERNAL IGLOO that is Melbourne.
In the late afternoon we drove into the city of San Gimignano which my brothers quickly realised was a setting of the Assassin’s Creed game. Queue infinite references as we walked around the cobbled streets. Definitely added a certain something to the atmosphere of the centuries old city. Above are three of the best shots I got of them being fuck knuckles.
Alright stop, anecdote time: a woman at a service station rattled of an entire sentence to Matt in Italian, and since he was so shocked the first thing he could think of to do… was point at his mouth, and shake his head. Just glorious.
Charmonix: me, James and Matt half way up Mont Blanc.
The family Christensen: first, we take over this mountain. Then… THE WORLD.
Charmonix: Matt putting the observation area to good use by observing.
