Statues of naked men

Image
{ May 2011 - Florence, Italy } I have seen more statues and painting of naked men and women during the trip to Italy, than I have ever seen, and will probably ever see. You just need to scroll through all the photos I have posted under Italy  to see some of the many that I have seen. And Florence, the birth place of Renaissance, probably has more statues and paintings of naked men and women, not to mention, of Gods, Goddesses and their children, then any other cities in Italy. David If there is one masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture, it has got to be David by Michaelangelo. The 17-feet marble statue of a standing male nude, is definitely an exceptional piece of sculpture.

Luang Prabang, Laos with Kids

However, in the main towns like Vientiane and Luang Prabang, the French influence is strong in their architecture and food - with lots of cafes and French restaurants.  We spent 5 days in Luang Prabang, Laos with 2 children, Ed 2 years old and Em 4 years old, in Oct 2019.  It can actually be done in 2 full days, but we decided to take it slow and spend time in the hotel.  5 days 4 nights 1 country - Laos 1 city - Luang Prabang 1 UNESCO World Heritage Site - Town of Luang Prabang 1 timezone - GMT+7 1 currency - Laos kip, but you can use US Dollars in hotels too Day 1 | Flight & Hotel in Luang Prabang  3 hours flight to Luang Prabang from Singapore - a short flight that was just enough to get the girls excited.
