Hi! Okay, so I know that this picture is of the Colosseum but the stupid blog site doesn't offer a picture for Verona (where we are atm) so this will have to do. We left Florence in a bit of a rush after handing back our keys to the landlord, Vincent who was cycled in late as but totally unaware. We got on the train in time though and arrived in Verona without any majors :) It is such a cute little town! I have always had an affinity with (the idea of) Verona,...

Hi ya’ll! How is everyone? Am heading to Verona tomorrow morning, after spending the last (wet, rain-y and gloomy) week in Florence so thought I would update you all on what’s been happening over here! s***, just realized that I totally forgot to blog about our quick stay in Milan!

First was Marseille, about a 5 hour train trip from Barcelona which went smoothly, yay. We we...

Hihihihihi! So, since last time I blogged we’ve been in Barcelona.

About a 20 minute walk up to La Rambla and all that, so not out of the way too much and was nice to be by the beach! Mum had a freak out, which seems to be turning into a common occurrence when we arrive at our accommodation lol…...

Hey ya’ll, how is everyone? I’m in sunny Barcelona atm, but will update you guys on the past week since I have been so slack at the whole blog thang! We left San Seb to train to Madrid, about a 6 hour trip which passes a lot quicker than being on a plane and even time seems to pass quicker than being on a bus. Maybe it’s the change of environment. Who knows… We were staying in the old part of Madrid also, just a short walk from La Puerta del Sol which is...
