Hi Both - Usual nailbiter at AAMI on Saturday. Crows shocking in the 1st half and down by 25 points for long periods. 2nd half much improved and eventually got up to win by 16. 6th on percentage, with 3 other Teams on 32 points, behind Geelong & St Kilda. Barry Hall had another brain melt and punched Benny Rutten in the face at the end of the 3rd qtr for no apparent reason - He's on report and should get a couple of games!

Hope you're having fun. Eagerly awaiting the next post.

Totally jealous and you havent even hit Paris Yet!

Bonnie got hit by flash rains while camping out under the stars, in Africa, but all is well as she found a South African Beer she likes and is heading into town shortly to buy a guitar.

Hey Anna & Dave

Just letting you know the 2 Leeanne's are totally jealous!! Great pic's, love 'em. Can't wait to see and hear more!! Love to you both, take care and keep the updates coming.

Hi Guys - You should be ashamed of yourselves for not remembering that it's a split round so the boys had the week off! Swans this Saturday at AAMI, so will provide an update asap after the game.

Glad to hear you're enjoying yourselves. Don't worry that no-one wants to help you out, that's the norm for Europe. Just be thankful you're not visiting the UK!

Hi Paul,

We are waiting for a footy update or is it to sad to mention?

Having a great time in Geneva and will post more pix and blog later today all going well

Cheers

David and Anna

Hi Anna and David,

Hope that you are enjoying Europe as much as I am... have a wonderful time... halfway through our journey today... !!.. time is disappearing quickly.. up to 700 photos.. not that it is a competition. I have facebook up if you get a chance otherwise I will post a message here whenever I have an opportunity but the quality of internet access has been very poor so far. Happy travelling.. hope you have plenty of deep heat.. Europe is full of steps and slopes. !!.. enjoy and all the very best on your travels.. Lots of love Charlotte H.

Buonjoir everyone,

Last day in Milan was spent checking out more of the sites and tasting more of the yummy italian delights as well as WINDOW shopping in the designer label district ..... WOW girls you would love this place.

This morning was a rush to the train station departing at 8.25 for Geneva. It was an amzing journey through snow capped peaks, crossing fast flowing rivers, terraced vineyards, dairy country and quaint swiss towns.

Arriving at Geneva train station it was then a struggle to find anyone that could speak either Italian or English. No one seemed to want to help us, from changing money to get a luggage trolley, to how we could make our way to the hotel as we could not even get hold of a local map. Eventually we found someone who could point us in the general direction. David headed of with bags on shoulders while I guarded the bikes which attracted a lot of attention as if no-one had ever seen bike boxes on a trolley. A couple of hours later we were settled in our hotel. Tomorrow we will go exploring and post some pictures of the sights.

Keep warm ..... Love Goog & Loog (our adopted swiss names)

All the Hotchicks & Switch b****es are drooling with envy - those spires what an engineering feat - makes my view of the Riverside building a bit lame!!!! Stay safe.

Hiya, It all looks wonderful and I'm so jealous! Keep in mind that we're freezing here whilst you enjoy your balmy days. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to next. xxx

Great photos so far............How come David gets to do all the eating and drinking??

Ciao Paolo (Hi Paul),
