Love all your sculpture pictures! Hey raj after noting a common thread in your trip "beer"; maybe a career mice? ...You could open up a brewery, since you've sampled excellence, from all over Europe!

Hi - you look like you have been having a fantastic time! I like the theme park, especially the boats=reminds me of GC!

Hi all - wow you have seen some amazing architecture.
Harley I hope you don't mind I shared your blog with some KWNS kids: Alisana, Kaleb , Jamie and a few others! They thought the Sedlac Ossuary was pretty creepy, loved watching your diving and thought the flash cars in Monaco were cool!
Anouk- Matthew says nothing has been happening in your class except they made calendar art with scratch tools and the class that sells the most calendar art gets to go to the pool with inflatables and pizza.
Love to all

Ahoy! (just getting into the spirit ;) Wow, I had no idea how beautiful this part of Europe is! The art work is beautiful and the scenery is just stunning. Nice to know you are enjoying the food, and the beer. Love to you all x

Thank you for the email saying happy birthday. I am 4 now - I had my party on Sunday. We had water balloons and a racing pinata. I got hot wheels and some transformers for my birthday. I laugh lots when the hot wheels cars crash into each other. I burnt my hand on holiday, but it's all better now. I got to go to the hospital and the nurse had her hair in piggy tales - she was really nice. I miss you guys too, I have been ringing Matthew and talking to him on the phone which is fun for me - probably not so much fun for Matthew :)

Hi. It sounds like you are having a really really good time. During the holidays we went to Turangi and went rock climbing and sledging and we went to the trout breeding centre. The best part of the holiday was the rock climbing - I climbed up some really hard walls and Dad was really impressed. I really really miss you. Please skype soon.

Hi you all seem to be having a fab time. We are now in Vancouver but thru the marvels of technology we are still keeping up with your news. Off to Alaska in four days. Keep up the swimming kids. Love from us all

Sitting in the sunshine reading your blog and loving the photos that bring back memories of our trip -Pat says you guys are all alike and Raj you are letting the side down for us guys a bit but we know you just do it to get some attention. Anouk and Harley, you are going to have some stories to tell when you get back to school! Keep on with the blog and photos.

Aunty Vikki your bruise is even bigger than the worst one I've had!
Harley the worst part of the earthquake was having the power out and having no internet or tv for half a day -it was torture. We had to use candles and torches.
Anouk I couldn't believe at the Trevi fountain a policeman would blow a whistle if you touched the water!

My most favourite part of the world! I want to go back after looking at your photos. Shivali wants to remind Annok, to have pizza for her and rate it to the one she had in Melbourne...yum!

Sorry to hear about your "slippery slide" Vicky. Italian wine is good I know! Hope the bruises are subsiding and we're glad that there were no breaks. Could have been a lot worse but not pleasant. Hope Raj is waiting on you hand and foot! What a fantastic trip you are all having. (no pun intended)

Now you're going places we've been in Italy! Don't think the tower is leaning any more now than it was when we were there. We did eat lunch in a cafe in Pisa, and we went into the baptistry. Look forward to your next posting. Love oxoxox
