longing to travel again

One of the best moments experienced in traveling happened on top of the Duomo of Santa Maria del Fiore in Firenze, Italia (Florence). There were nearly 450 stairs to the top of the dome and it was a brave act climbing up the spiral steps in the narrow tunnel. But it's always said that the end is sweeter if you work the hardest for it.

True enough. It was one of the most breathtaking view I've ever had from the top. The city felt so far away yet so near. You can hear the traffics echoed through the dark night. The city lights were bright in between the buildings and from the moving vehicles but it was pitch black on the skies. The night was so cold but so pretty you just want to freeze the moment alive.

I let go of big sighs, partly from the huffing and puffing from climbing up so many stairs, but mostly from just being engulfed by the magnificent view in front of my eyes..
